You know the way you pass someone on the street, and you know that you know them from somewhere....you say hello, they say the same back.....when you walk past, you take a quick look around thinking 'who is that?'...and you find they are also giving you the same quick glance.....had one of those moments in NYC's Tribeca 3 years ago, the man was Robert de Niro, out walking a dog.  It was his cap that threw me.  Always puzzled me who he thought I was  :D

Another occasion, the lift door opened at my floor in a Las Vegas hotel, there was Willie Nelson and his entourage, no room left on the lift so I had to wait on the next one.....Nelson quipped out of the lift at me...'Better luck next time buddy'....never did like his singing anyway.

I met Ian Rush that day too - in Intersport - i've still got the card that he signed for me with his picture on it! Also met Curley Watts from Coronation Street in Curleys as well!
That was never a square ball!!

ONeill

Yes, thought he was quite surly. Loved his moustache though.

Square Ball

slightly off topic but what the hell.

My sisters friend and her husdand went to New York as he had retired and this was their first holiday together alone so they were pushing the boat out. They were staying in an Hotel (name escapes me) the husband was in the lbar on the first floor waiting for her, she got into the lift to go down to the bar, the lift stopped and two black fellas got in, one said "hit the ground honey" meaning press the botton for the ground floor, well she shit herself and lay on the floor, needless to say the other two nearly killed themselves laughting. she was shaking like a leaf when she met the husband, he couldnd fing out who it was.

when he went to settle the bill he was amazed to find it was paid, on questioning the person it turned out that it was Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, Will had paid the bill, she had no idea who he was.
