scottsdad Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 In my (almost) 42 years, I have hardly met any famous people. I once had a long-ish conversation with Fred McAuley at a charity do and that is about it. What about P&Bers? Have you done naked sword fighting with Derek Ferguson in a gym changing room? Sank a few pints with Harrison Ford? High-fived Gary Lineker at a bukkake party? What is your story? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the late 80s I was at the Spencer snooker club in Stirling. My friend's dad pointed me to a spotty teenager who was eating his dinner and told me to get his autograph as he'd be famous one day. So I interrupted Stephen Hendry eating his dinner for an autograph. Doubt that getting an autograph counts as meeting someone though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His inane commentary and analysis of the proceedings, I guess. "That cross from the right, you could see he was aiming for the eyebrows but mis-judged it and ended up hitting his own chin. He won't want to watch the replay of that. Fancy a crisp?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
