Plenty of footballers - current and ex-pros - and quite a few Welsh sports stars, because of my work ...


... oh, and Roy Walker - it's good, but it's not right!

Without trying to sound too cocky it comes as part of the my 'day' job in the events/conference industry.

I suppose its really what you count as famous as I've met the last 3 prime ministers, most of the current cabinet, most top sportsmen/women in the last 20 odd years and to be honest most of them are just like ourselves and mainly down to earth although some of them are complete arses but I'm not going to name names.

As the Production Manager I often get the job of putting radio mics onto them before they go onto stage so you soon get to tell who are the nice ones and who aren't by their attitude towards you :lol: :lol:

I think we need a new thread... "eat anyone famous?"

Getting back to meeting people who are/were/consider themselves famous, apart from the usual B-listers opening the local fetes, and taking landing fees from various tightwad jockeys when they flew in to race at the local course, I once got pressganged into serving at a formal meal in which her madge was present. It was out in Belize in 85, and the conditions were rudimentary to say the least. She didn't bat an eyelid when presented with a few platefuls of the local cuisine... The menu made it into the Sun a few days later. Thank god I didn't have to eat it. Game old bird.
