Have you ever met any famous people before?

If so, this is the place to tell your story.......

I'll start....

I was going on holiday for the weekend to Scotland with my mum and dad and we had decided to go by plane to save the hassle. We went to Birmingham airport and on just before we were about to board we decided to go to the newsagents in the airport to get some mags, sweets, etc. for the trip. So in I went, looking for a mag, I picked one up and began walking towards the queue. After realising that there was a MASSIVE queue I put the mag down and started walking out. The exit was blocked by the winding queue so I had to push through. (I did say "excuse me" so I wasn't rude about it or anything) I did bump into someone on the way out and embarassingly dropped my head and mumbled "sorry mate!" after which he grumbled back. I walked over to my waiting mum and dad and we began walking to the boarding gate. My dad then said "Do you realise who you just knocked into?" I replied "Nope" at which he said "turn around then..." As he ordered I swivelled round and looked at the ever-growing queue. I then realised that the long queue was in fact the Leicester Tigers (an English pro Rugby team) and that I had bumped into Martin Johnson!!!

I really wish I was collecting auto's then as I would have gone back up to him, apologised again for the bump and asked for an auto!!!

In my shame I walked off and got on the plane! :D

(Sorry for the lonnnnng story.......lets hear yours!)

I met Mickey Carroll ( The Munchkin from Wizard of Oz) he was at a sports card show.


Also my mom bumped (literally) into Al Stewart.

She was at a concert and she went to the bathroom. Well on her way there she bumped into him. She didn't know that was who she bumped into at the time. When she got back, her friends all started saying "Do you know who you just bumped into?" of course my mo didn't know until they told her.
