      I was doing a call at a hospital where George Bush 41 was making a speech. Never did get to meet him, but I met the Secret Service. They were very interested in all the sharp pointy objects in my toolbag.

        Back in my alarm fixing days I was called out to sort out a faulty burgular alarm in a fancy beach front appartment. This blonde woman kept talking to me, which was rather annoying while i was trying to sort out the problem.
        It was only after I left I found out it was Olivia Newton John that I was ignoring!

              I quite often park in the loading zones in the street where he lives. Saw him pass by once. Quite an imposing figure. Everyone just stops what their doing for a few moments.

                  I've had 3. I met Hulk Hogan years ago while I was getting on an elevator and he was getting off. That monstrosity filled up the entire elevator doors! A couple of years later, I met Sandra Bullock while she was filming a movie in Savannah. Ironically, it was in the same building where I met Hulk. And last, I met David Duval when I was embarrassing myself by trying to play golf. I was working a golf tournament and he walked up to me and asked me if I would like a few tips. At the time I didn't recognize him but he helped my golf game.

                    In my defence may I state with out the assistance of a make up artist, hair stylist and lighting tech she just looked like the average girl next door. Very pleasant but nothing special.

                      At work, I walked by Bobcat Goldthwait.
                      AFTER work, I met Ozzy, won a contest during the 'no more tours' tour.
                      My buddy works at a 5-star hotel and meets celebs all the time, sports, music, movies, you name it.

                        When I worked for Lexmark back in the UK, I fixed a colour printer for Alan Grant (Judge Dredd & Batman writer), really nice guy.

                          Installed copiers in the production office of a not too famous movie (Dead Heart) being filmed in Alice Springs (Central Australia) Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward were in the office. They seemed like great people.

                            Once was in an elevator with Joan Jett and the Black Hearts. She was gorgeous. Was sitting by a hotel swimming pool and Sting and Stewart Copeland walked up. Everybody was afraid to talk to them.
