What Famous People have you met?

big_pete · 19-01-2005, 11:19 PM

Hey, after reading a similar thread in 'The Pits' about famous motorsport personality's encounters people have had,
i thought it would be cool to see what famous people everyone has met

ill kick it off,
i kind of met Trent barret at the pub one night, we were standing next to him and this bloke wouldnt leave him alone, and was pretty much harrassign him,
so me and my brother just started goingon about how we didnt think trent was gay so the bloke would have no chance ( i cant remember the exact wording but it was along those lines) anyway the bloke got all embaressed and ****ed off, so trent came over and said thanks, and shook my hand.

thats about as good as ive got!

ive also met a few more NRL players at the pub. i was sitting next to a very drunk Mark riddell one night. he was out with Vella, minechello and few others

i used to be good friends with sydney swan Adam Schnieder.

thats about it for me

Who have you met????

driven Spencer Jolly so he could get a news story onto the satellite,
met Tommy Emmanuel,
and there was a woman, nicknamed the Black Widow, 'cos she bought a black dress for her husband's funeral before she had him knocked off, give me a sultry, sexy smile!
