I've got a better one ... not sure its crappy though....

Walking along Oxford St in London on my lunch break many years ago I made some scrawny bloke in an electric blue suit, carrying tons of designer shopping bags wait for me to walk round the puddle in the middle of the pavement. The scrawny bloke was Mick Jagger being most ill mannered. I treated him to one of my glares.

I used to work with Charlotte Church's grandfather and now I sometimes work with an uncle of Neil Jenkins (Welsh rugby legend).Both are lovely blokes.

He probably recognised you from the forum and was embarrassed at his 'Jamaican' accent on Cherry Oh Baby off Black And Blue, Michele.

My crappiest one is about 12 yrs ago when Lawrence Gowan (an 80's Toronto singer) was standing line in front of me at a local grocery story and I was so starstruck, I couldn't say a word. My husband met him about two months later and they talked, apparently he's a great guy and very approachable, not that I would know.

A few better ones, I have met Steven Page and Ed Robertson from the Barenaked Ladies, and my two favourites, Gord Downie from The Tragically Hip and the hilariously funny comedian Rick Mercer (twice).
