Wondering who people have met that are so called "well knowns"

Met Chino from the deftones and had a bit of a chat.

And spent a night with Joey from Insane clown pussy when they were here on tour earlier this year. ( not spent a night like that, but we hung out, had a few drinks and talked) He wants to wrestle kangaroo's - dumb americans.

The highlight of my life was spending a lot of time with Cheryl kernos daughter Sian when i was growiong up. All i really remember is that she had panys at her parties. Spose that dpesn't make up for a crap life though.

And i see Gordan Tallis up at blockbuster a few times now. And various other footy players come into the paddo from time to time but i don't know who the hell they are... the guys get all gossipy when they go ppast though. meh.

Nothing to interesting there!

ow and who coyuld forget ranger stacy and frank warrick that came to visit ua at primary school! heh.

... famous people are just people

Its only worth talking about em if you score with em!

I'm mates with Cliff Besley (Totally Wild, face of BMW Germany, male model). We went to school together.

I like the fact that I'm mates with him cause I can tell people he is also one of the smartest fellas I know, and isn't all looks. Good luck to him (we only see him a few times a year cause he's so busy).

I meet all of U2 in 1984 at Festival Hall in the green room.

meh... it's just something people can identify with. I met a whole heap of hot chicks the other day just doesn't have the same ring to it. People these days are only ever important if you hook up with em - it the way things are.

me and woman used to see various broncos coming out of city rowers when we worked down stairs at the chicken shack

ill never forget the nite that "criminal" (tony caroll) who i consider to be one of the ugliest men in league, came staggering out of CR with a couple of hot bitches on his arms;

just goes to show, u can be ugly as phuck, but still score if you are famous

other famous run ins;
i once saw (didnt meet, im not into hassleing people just coz they are famous) arnie and jim belushi at LAX when we flying home years ago

they were filming red heat;
acutally, it wasnt even arnie, it was one of his stand ins;

i met, shook hands with and spoke to newman off of seinfeld in planet hollywood in beverly hills. shook john eels, dan herbert, tim horan, wally lewis, alan langer's hands.

apart from that nothing else.

NEWMAN!!!!
how awesome!

john eales is on the board of our company (him and the old director are best mates)
he used to be in all the time until he moved to sydney;

i dont consider him overly famous;
i skipped out on his motivational talk he was giving us;
i was having a lie down at the time ;)

Sports Personalities I've meet/got autograph photo stuff from

Kevin McGee

Randy Mamola
Wayne Gradner
Barry Sheen

Various autographs and photos with union greats from 1980-date highlights

The entire 1992 7's squad that went to Hong Kong

The Queensland Reds Jersey signed by the 2000,2001,2002 and 2003 teams 1 for each year, I get one every year.

Jona Lomu signed my Australian Jersey in 2000 at a pub in Aukland after the game, seems we where the only Green and Gold (2 of us) in a sea of black.

I met Terry Pratchett and he was damn funny.
My great grandfather was prime minister for two weeks (Mr. Ford).

Maxi Jazz autographed my shoes.

And my friends neighbours uncle is the Bronocs coach, whatever his name is.

I probably know a few more, but they dont come to me atm.

Hmmm well I've met a lot of famous people, I don't even know where to begin. Had broncos players living near me, I was involved in training with a lot of olympians and olympic coaches in another sport. Had autographs and s*** from lots of musicians and celebrities.

im tung, so i dont really feel special meeting anyone famous :p


but apart from that, i met sum 41, my favourite band, well kinda just said hi and had a quick chat after their concert last feb, was cool because dave gave me his pick right at the end of the set anyway.

um, apart from that, just random people ive had drinks with, the broncos, the brissy lions (one dude lived accross the st from me for a while) and the cricketers that used to coach me, matty hayden, kasper, etc.

i dunno, for me i would only be bowled over by famous people i respect for their work, through art, society, or whatever, like meeting paul davies (not many people would know of him, hes one of the worlds leading astrophysicists) was a huge event for me, i kept in correspondence with him for well over 2 years just being a groupie :p

sum 41 is the only real group of people that havent done that much that i was bowled over, and thats because they are cool and wear 3/4 pants.

also, paddo's 3.95 roast lunch rocks, specially after a hard wednesday and sunday nights of drinking.

when did hayden and kasper coach you?

year 8 coaching camp :)

that and when i was playing at centenary they came as guest coaches for a special thingymajig, and we played 6 a side games.

john eales is on the board of our company (him and the old director are best mates)
he used to be in all the time until he moved to sydney;

Spook, do you work for QM?

Seccombe (qld bulls wikki) is a champ.. he worked for my father for a couuple of years

apart from getting given the BB hm's mobile numbers and having a chat on there

MMM LEAHH MMMMMM

Damn, I hate it when people know who I am, but I dont know who they are. Thats the sort of freaky s*** that keeps me awake at nights.

That, and monkeys acting like people. Whats up with that? Its not funny, its wrong!

Spook, do you work for QM?

hahha busted spook

im a noob and know no-one famous.

my mates uncle is tom carrol, thats pretty f***in cool :D

he gets all this quiksilver gear then just palms it off to me, and i got a personally signed huge uber a1 or a2 poster which is now framed :D

yar, i noticed you were a permanent fixture on qgl while u were here khel; (worked out who you were after you left, through various pix posted about)

i was a bit norty and mischeivious back in those days, so i posted this!

http://qgl.ausforums.com/?agn=thread&id=72614

crikey, all the way back in 2001!

Heh, I was wondering who that was :)

and you look at you now spook......

lets not ay?

I saw the midget from the Groove Terminator video (he is also in the Fat Pizza movie) at the music shop in Queen St mall.

I didn't talk to him though cos midgets kinda freak me out

I made cappuchinos for AB a couple of weeks ago.

I was served by Elvis at Hungry Jacks in the mall once. I also saw him in a KFC down the coast once.

I met Terry Pratchett and he was damn funny.

Too true. He's a great bloke, from what I could tell from the conversation that I had with him.

I went to Marist Ashgrove so I'd see people that went on to be famous - like the aforementioned Matt Hayden, John Eales. Did athletics with Dan Herbert who was a year ahead of me but was the same age.

Was on the student newspaper at uni and interviewed HG Nelson for the 1992 Festival of the Boot. Terrible interview because I'd ask a question and he'd go on and make me laugh for the next half hour.

Joined the ALP back then too which means you meet just about every politician around. A highlight was meeting Paul Keating when he was PM, met Kim Beazley, Simon Crean, Neville Wran, Barry Jones, Martin Ferguson plus others. One of my friends is now the President of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, Cameron Murphy - he's on TV all the time for a comment about invasion of privacy or human rights issues.

Cliff Besley. fukn over achiever :) (not serious btw.)

On the dominos ad now too i see.

I've had the odd brief run-in with celebs in the past - mum and I had a good chat with Michael Hancock one day a few years back when he was "signing autographs" at the car yard near our house... I put that in quotes because it seemed like we were the only people who'd gone there to see him all day! :) (not saying anything against Mick, he seemed like a good enough guy, but I'd say no-one knew he was going to be there.)

I'm the kind of person that if I see a celeb in their day-to-day life I'll think to myself "wow look - it's {insert celeb's name here}" and just get on with my life and leave them in peace. (off the sporting field/music stage/movie set/etc they're still just regular people - I got a slight death stare from Tony Carrol when I spotted him at Toombul a few years back... it was like he wanted to say "Yeah, so you've recognised me - f*** off and let me finish my shopping")

But as for famous relatives... my dad was one of the top Australian archers for a few years when I was a kid... he beat the Australian team at the SGIO Games in '81 (warm up for the '82 Commonwealth Games)

Oh, and there's also my second cousin, who writes Swamp :P

Im mates with scott-e and trent from one dollar short

We nearly ran over Tallis the other night :D and he looked at me :P

I used ot be a Taxiride Groupie, they knew me quite well and once asked me if I had any pot.
:P

other than that, no 'accidental' meetings or anything. Although I have met a few famous peoples.

OOOOOOOOOOOH and I had to call up a certain sportsman because he'd forgotton to pick his son up from school.

Not saying who or where or when or how. :P
