Have you met anyone in the public eye and did they live up to your expections?
I have met a number of such people in my 60 years, some were as they appear in the media, others weren't as pleasant.I was an invited guest of Kilroy once. He was a foul mouthed horrible human being when off camera!
I was also an invited guest on 'This Morning' in the late 90s. That day the late Caron Keating and Richard Madeley were the presenters. Caron Keating was lovely, but Madeley was really up himself, I didn't care for him at all.
My Dad and Mum were invited to a private dinner party on the Royal Yacht, I think it was the late 80s/early 90s, this was in my father's role as a senior politician. He got on like a house on fire with Prince Philip their views being similar, heaven help us!

About 5 years ago I was having a drink with my Son at his local and Colin Farrell walked in, there were not many in the pub at the time and we got into conversation about the changes in Dublin City. I found him to be a very intelligent young man, polite and modest.08-10-2010, 08:43 PM

Met Reg Holdsworth from Corrie some time ago-he lived in the same town as me. He came and sat at the same table as myself and my Sister in a cafe........he never stopped talking and looked like a change of clothes and a good bath wouldn't have done him any harm!08-10-2010, 09:36 PM

He may seem boring but otherwise ok (for a Tory) but she's an absolute pain.

The actor Brian Moseley, a Catholic, who played in the soap, can't remember the character, contacted me not long before he died. He wanted to visit our 'miracle' field in the hope of a cure as the trip to Lourdes was too far in his condition. Sadly he couldn't even make it as far as our field as he was too ill. I probably still have his letter somewhere around.
