It was you was it, I heard you from here?!!
Not a girly girl............Hah 
In the early 80's, I went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at a theatre in Birmingham with some mates. We hung around the bar afterwards and the cast came in for a beer - and I ended-up getting drunk with Nicholas Courtney - Brigadeer Lethbridge-Stewart from Doctor Who. Bizarrely, it was only a couple of years ago that I was told that the young blonde actress from the show that I tried chatting-up (and failed, sadly) was Amanda Redman - who I definitely still fancy these days.
Not long after that, I left my boring job and went down to London to manage pubs. The first one I went to - for training - was in Richmond and we used to get a load of actors and celebs. One of the regulars was Rod Burton - from Rainbow and "Rod, Jane and Freddy" (both TV shows for very young kids at that time) and we got nattering - mostly about guitars. After that, we'd chat whenever he came in - nice bloke.
The best part was telling my mates back home that I was mates with the guitarist from Rainbow - cos they all assumed I meant Richie Blackmore 
Working down there, I met a lot of quite well-known people - especially when I moved to a pub just off Oxford Street cos it was surrounded by film and TV companies. It was an everyday thing to bump into or serve people who were "names" so it's always seemed kind of normal to me.
My best encounter recently wasn't with a person. I was in the Glee Club in Cardiff to see Francis Rossi's solo show and his guitar tech brought the famous green Telecaster over so I could get a close look at it. Being that close to the guitar that made me want to start playing nearly 40 years ago was better than meeting any celeb. (and yes - I do own a few Telecasters and one of them has been stripped down and painted green :))

I'm not sure if I should be jealous:( I've only had two interactions with famous people. I once hugged Angela gosso from arch enemy (lovely woman)
And the second being joey Essex at the club I was working at whilst I was serving him I got into a heated debate about how I didn't know nor care who he was I still expected him to pay for a drink. (What a load of .... Of a program)
