here's envying you

I think Robert De Niro is the most famous person I've ever bumped into (standing at the bar waiting to be served, saying "you first", does not qualify as "meeting")...
I've met quite a few Irish bands and singers over the years, with Christy Moore, and drinking (and singing) with The Dubliners top of the fave list. And with "Die Toten Hosen"... I know friends and family who'd kill for that experience
Other than that - a few East German Olympic & World champions who happened to be friends of the family when I was a kid and didn't much care about them being famous.. and in World Cup 2006 summer I met Martin O'Neill (who joined us for a drink and a song in the pub), Lee Dixon, Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson and Gary Lineker. Missed out on Alan Shearer tho..
