I've met Ronan Keating, Michelle Ryan, Mark Speight twice, most of the BBC News and weather team, Jack Ryder, Nikki from Big Brother, Alex Healy (ex-Eastender), Barbara Windsor, Shane Richie twice (Though once i was standing next to him in a queue for 10 minutes and didn't recognise him untill he walked off!).

Did you meet them in the course of your work? What do you do? :) Sounds interesting, if that is how you met them.
I met some of them through work. I am retired now, but I worked at The British Museum for 37 years.
I was (still am!) very involved in politics and trade unions
I am also Vice Chairman of the West Cliff Theatre Trust in Clacton, which is where I met the entertainers and I used to do a bit of folk singing myself (I was half of a folk duo!)
In spite of meeting all these people through these interests, the most relevant to these boards, Ross Kemp, I met at a fete held where my wife used to work, as he was a friend of the manager and agreed to come along and open it.
Peter Ustinov I met on holiday a long time ago.
And Dermot Murnaghan I met because, as you may remember, I was on Eggheads - so I suppose I could add Judith, Kevin, Daphne, CJ and Chris to famous people I have met!
thats quite an impressive list there parkerman!
Working at the British Museum for 37 years :eek: Well done :clap: Have you ever thought about writing a book about your time in there? I am sure it would be extremely interesting, I would certainly like to read it. :)
Parkerman - it sounds like you have had an eventful life. Good on you! I agree with Perdy - you should consider writing your memoirs. You have done more in that paragraph above than many celebs who (ghost)write books.
Another interesting point - you are living your life not just reading about celebs living theirs.
Funny you should say that as I have just finished the first chapter...Quote:
