My next door neighbor has a dog that looks like LASSIE. Also sounds like LASSIE...... They call her 'Betsy', but maybe it's Lassie in the witness protection program!!
I tried calling her 'Lassie' once to see if I could catch her unaware and get a response, but got ignored.
does that count?
Sorry i dont think that counts ha ha!

OK, here's my go,
I got drunk with the band 'Therapy' once. For 36 hours.
I spent 2 hours on a plane with Charlie Higson (co-writer of the fast show).
I nearly got beaten up by Sally Gunnells husband for pinching her bum at a sports dinner.(she's an olympic gold medallist and world record holder over 400m hurdles, and also the exact spitting image of my then girlfriend from the back).
I'm vaguely related to Feargal Sharkey (Anyone remember the undertones?)
One of my best friends from University regularly goes out with Davina Mccall.
I slept with the daughter of the former captain of celtic and scotland (football that is).
One of the kids from Blazing Squad (rubbish british 'teen' 'rap band'😉 tried to hit my (tiny) friend in a nightclub for 'spilling his drink' and when I stepped in to mediate a peaceful settlement he ran away.
When I was 16 I spent 2 hours trying to pull Andrea Corr at a party. She wasn't famous then though. I failed.
Me and my mates got featured in a British lads magazine called Front.
I saw Keith Gillespie get thrown out of a club in Belfast for being too drunk (Former Man utd, newcastle united, blackburn player, now of sex pest charges fame).
I had a pint with Mike Gatting (former England cricket captain).
My Dad met Boyzone in a hotel in Dublin and they invited him and his friends to sit with them.
I played golf with Russ Abott (Former tv 'comedy' star, very nice man)
I got drunk with Bruce Forsyth and Eric Hall (Creator of Miss World) about 2 weeks before he died. Eric Hall that is.
I slept with the daughter of the Greek ambassador to Great Britain. She was at the same university as me.
I think I'm out now. Not too sure if any of those count as celebrity friends though. Hmmm, I'm also a little worried that they might portray me in a slightly alcoholic light. Oh well.

Oh, that post did make you look like an alcoholic.

Any Americans who know baseball well will know these three. I went to Tony Pena's(managing the royals now, but caught for the Indians and Pirates for a long time) birthday party one time. Dave Winfield and Jose Mesa were also there, talking rapid fire Spanish. I played baseball with his kids in the back yard. Good times....
Originally posted by marinakatombi used to go to their gigs in london (the barfly, cambden) great live band, terrific harmonies. what ever happened to them?
I worked behind a bar with the lead singer from Montrose avenue after they got dropped from their record label. Nice guy, used to sing on sundays, great voice and all that, can't say i was a fan of their music but hey, this still counts i suppose 😀
