Met Dana..did you say all kinds of everything remind me of you menthol
  , my man drove us insane singing that bloody song

Met Hughie Green when my OH was working a summer season in the Isle of Man - what a lovely fellah he was,  not at all smarmy like his Opp Knocks persona. 
In the same season we also met Ken Dodd and he was quiet and serious off stage - if you could ever get him off the blooming' stage!
Worst I met was Roy Walker - foul-mouthed ignoramus!

Freddie Mercury. He was wearing a fur coat. I said "I like your coat Freddie and he replied "it's Fox darling"
My friend and I were in our early teens, we went up to Heathrow airport to catch Queen who were on their way to Japan. Only 11 young fans turned up and we spent over an hour with them! Brian  May was absolutely lovely, he kissed us all and thanked us for coming to see them off! We were allowed to kiss Freddie' s cheek lol!
Such a Diva. Love him!

I have met Des Martinson a couple of times in the Mosiac ... does that count?

On David Walliams, mentioned by Scunner at the start of this thread,  I saw him in a Pinter play in the west end.  He was acting alongside Michael Gambon and David Bradley, and was out of his league in acting terms, let alone acting in a Pinter play, as wooden as a length of 4 x 2!! After the play he came out and chatted for ages to my daughter - a regular stage door Jenny!! - and a group of other young women.  He was charming, paying attention to questions as he signed autographs, took his time was never in a rush, in short a very nice bloke.  Mind you that does not mean I rate his acting ability any higher.

I'm ashamed to say that I forgot to mention that I have also met the famous Geordie, Des Martinson. Also Stephen Hendry (in our local Tesco) - fairly miserable, as was ex-Tottenham and Luton manager David Pleat. Dennis Waterman was a nice fella (crap actor though), as was ex-Jam bassist Bruce Foxton, a real down to Earth, normal guy

Bruce Foxton, top top bass player, the Jam sound would never have been as good without his playing ..... where is he now?

[Scunner]

He was bassist with Stiff Little Fingers for many years (that's where I met him) - possibly 10 years in fact. He left and toured/recorded with Rick Buckler, and was in another band and last I heard he had patched up his differences with Weller enough that he played bass on Weller's last album. I think.

I worked for a company in Liverpool and Hughie Green was a Director.  There was a take over in the Board Room and Green was pushed out.  He rang the office and spoke to a 19 year old telephonist who had been told not to put any of his calls through.  He shouted so loud we could all hear him he turned the air blue and brought the telephonist to tears with his disgusting language.   The Office Manager got on the phone to him and gave him a piece of her mind.
I have met Ken Dodd and always found him pleasant.  A friend's oldest brother worked for Ken as a Saturday job, when Ken had a fruit and vegetable van in Liverpool.
