..I'll tell mine. I met her three years ago, we were in treatment together. I was Room 27, herself 25, in St Pats (I was in for booze, Sinead for weed). I can't say I got to know her well but she was always v polite in my experience, contrary to the media reputation. My ex did stay in touch with her for a while I believe but I think those contacts filtered out, as tends to happen.

I don't!

We seem to be split on this site between those who have encounters with celebs and anecdotes and those who don't.

Every time a star dies I wait to see what back stage party Hedda attended, or if British; what bar of GMs they attended and how rude or charming they were.

But thanks for your candour tdf: and hope the treatment effect has endured for you.

Me I'm off to find a celeb...

Lol. Tbh, I've had only two other celeb encounters in my life, Jim Corr (before he went a bit odd) and Michael Flatley (who was very and not at all the that I would have expected. Both in various drinking establishments circa 2002. Dublin is funny like that, in some ways still a village.

My partner met Suzi Quatro in a coffee shop in Hampshire post first lockdown. If you didn't leave your roots Hampshire roots Wyot, maybe she might of signed your Marillion LP's.

We all know how small your record collection is. You stopped buying music altogether when Fish left. You have dwelled on it ever since.

Are you Irish like me TDF or did you go there on holiday?

I hate it when some Americans claim to be "American Irish" just because there is some ancestry from hundreds of years ago.

American's are mongrels with their DNA if you look in to it. Dutch, Italian, Jewish, Africa, Mexican, German, Scottish, Spanish, Irish, French. American's know they have no real history so they try piggy back their roots. It's one of their flaws. USA was founded over 700 years; well after William the Bastard did a national tour of Britain.

I never met Sinead nor was I a fan.

I think some of her albums sold more in the U.S than in the UK. ( Could Robbie or MCR look in to that for me?)

You tease. Go on then, he was very what and not at all the what?

I do (or did) love a party not so much these days.

I too met Michael Flately who was very personable.

All to be included in my autobiog.. Diary of a Nobody: Redux

Sorry went into print too soon. Michael Flatley was very friendly, down to earth and not at all arrogant like his public profile might suggest.

Green man, yes I am Irish.

Thanks! Very interesting.

The first time media in decades the media praised Sinead for her music not her mental health? It's the same, if you have a relative you've not seen for years they die, all the family or so-called friends come out of the woodwork.

However it's a farce still, Morrissey was right about the media.
