Hi daz

Just a few to be going on with!!

[nat_84]

no not really but.... Robin Van Persie was walking through a place called 02 centre near where i live not too long ago.. and passed me and two other friends as we were on our way out.

I wolf whistled at him as he walked passed and he just looked up at us all miserable and got in his car :o(

when I worked at jjb in the trafford centre I served Nicolas Anelka he was the most arrogant person I have ever met so up his own backside.

I have also served Dev from Corrie and Will Mellor a few times Will Mellor is even nicer looking in the flesh. I work part-time in B&Q now they are always in buying stuff and they are both really friendly and always have a chat with you.

Remember Danni Behr?

I used to work as a hotel receptionist. Anyway she was staying at my hotel for a week or so while doing filming.

The company who booked her in had srictly said that they would pay for room and breakfast only. So Ms Behr would have to pay for meals, drinks etc herself.

So when she came to book in 1st thing she does is spout out all her room demands (high floor, sea view, quiet room blah blah) which we gladly met. Seeing that she had to pay for expenses herself i asked for credit card authorisation, which is standard practice for hotels, helps avoid people with no morals running off without paying bill.

Anyway she got right snooty with me and refused the credit card authorisation, i explained she would not be able to charge anything to her room account but still dclined. So i put a red cross on her card to let all staff know she must pay for all meals etc at the time and cannot charge to room account.

Somehow she did still manage to charge to her room account, (guess staff bottled it instead of asking for payment) and guess what, she left the hotel and didn't pay her bill.

Many years ago, I met Max Bygraves on the golf course. I was a teenager and we used to go over to the course and caddy for whoever wanted a caddy (carrying their golf equipment etc). Me and my friend were sitting on the bench and he came out with his pals and we got quite excited as I knew who he was straight away and I will never forget what he said.
"I s'pose you want money for caddying do you?" I said "well yes, if you want us to do the course" (thinking did I have the word Charity on me?) and he told me to b****er off, which upset me quite a bit at the time, never liked him since. Every time I saw him on telly, I used to think it was such an act and that as a person he was very rude!

I met dannii minogue when I was young and a fan! She was performing a Saturday morning TV show and ignored all her fans, sat on her tour bus and turned her head away while all the other acts signed autographs for the small crowd (about 10) of young fans, average age 10

Van Morrison once told me to 'fcuk off', although apparently that is true to form, the grumpy old sod.

[DillyGent]

Back in the early 80s I was in Barclays Bank in Bond Street and Leonard Rossiter (Rigsby in Rising Damp) was behind me in the queue. I turned around and said how I liked the show and could I have his autograph and he cut me dead. On the way out I waited until he was finished and walked ahead of him, opened the door and walked through letting it go in his face. Childish I know but I felt better...

[nat_84]

van morrison is a legend though so he can tell whoever he wants to f*** Off.... ;oP

I was once with my best friend in south mimms service station at around 6am when who should walk in but George Francis of robot wars fame. I told him how much i liked his robot and his squeeky voice. Imagine my hurt when he said he was going to come to my house and get his robot to kill my cat.

[cheeky101]

I served stacey slater once at tesco and i can tell you she was well miserable and so rude, i say hi like i would do to a normal customer and she just blanked me, what a arrogant little bitch, so up herself! As my mate worked in the photolab i've seen some of her pictures where she's out partying.

I also served Ian Beale too, there was this boy who asked for his autograph, and he was like "yeah, in a minute" in a not so polite way, and he was like rushing to get out of the store.

sharleen spiteri-we were at a family members wedding(who she is friends with) and she asked me "what the f*** are you looking at?!" when i wasnt looking at her!!

I worked at Manchester Piccadilly railway station in Manchester and met many a celeb. A lot were very, very nice - but some!!

Alex Fergurson (Manchester United Manager). Missed his train to London and demanded that it wasbrought back into the station for him. Don't you know who I am strop followed, with a massive slanging match. He had to catch the next one :)

Noreen Kershaw (Coronation Street director/Brookside actress). Arrive on the station for the direct train to Wakefield. I explained the the direct trains went from Manchester Victoria and this was Piccadilly. She screamedthat she wasn't thick and she knew where the train went from, after all it said it on the ticket. Out come the ticket. Manchester Victoria to Wakefield - clear as day. She crawled off.

And there's so many more.

nat 84, yes he is and no he can't.

[BrainMonkeys]

I once accidently shoulder-barged Kris Akabusi. He wasn't laughing then...

[daz1969]

...This is excellent, just reading about Caprice (Who?) and her 'don't you know who I am' rant when a police officer stopped her and also James Alexandro (again WHO?, some 2 bit actor in EastEnders I believe) having a strop in a supermarket... Priceless!

[spainlads]

Another good one, and I swear it's true. One day you couldn't travel south of Manchester because the IRA had planted bombs at Wilmslow, Macclesfield and another station. Stan Boardman (scouse comedian) turns up for a train to London, and there's obviously none running, so I'm explaining the reason why and he just goes off on one, and ends up saying "Who'd do this". Q the comic in me, and I say "It was the Geeeeermans". Well, for a comic he's not got a very got sense of humour.
