I've met others however them being casts at Panto's, I guess don't count.
Al Bean, and a few other astronauts. Was at 6th form with Colin Firth. Lit "Sweeny Todd" with him playing the barber...
Prof Brian Cox whilst he was a student and still playing for D:Ream, he worked in the laboratory I looked after and then I was occasionally working with him until 5 years ago when I left the University.
Also Patrick Moore & Sir Francis Graham-Smith Astronomer Royal.
I also worked with Prof Gleeson who is not famous but she did help invent colour LCD displays.
She's really nice aswsell, got ourselves some personalised signed copies of her album from her :-).Quote:

did a survival course many years ago with Iain Thomson and Lofty Wiseman as instructors. Both should have been celebs in the same vein as Bear Grylls and Ray Mears but they were from a slightly different era.
Bumped into Pete Winner (aka Soldier I from the storming of the Iranian Embassy) at the Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in July this year. He was signing copies of his book and was happy to have a chat.
Mostly just sports people:
Jimmy White
Stephen Hendry
Ken Doherty
Rory McIlroy
Shaun Murphy
Damon Hill
Jackie Stewart
Stirling Moss
Frank Williams
David Coulthard
Martin Brundle
Nigel Mansell
John Watson
Jos Verstappen
Duke of Edinburgh
Mostly at the same event but still counts, I hope! :)
Ooh, forgot Rick Wakeman - he used to live next door to a friend of mine!
Amazing things these Wings hey :D (assume it was at the launch of The Wing?)Quote:

Me and Tim walked into Ted Kravitz from the BBC F1 coverage the other year after the F1 at Silverstone, and I met Carol Vorderman back in the summer, she's very stunning for her age and a very witty speaker she gave a love speech at the event I was at :)
Interesting thread.... now here goes - not many but I'm sure to have forgotten some... (some are Welsh target audience as well).
Gary Davies
Katherine Jenkins
Most of the Ospreys
A lot of the Welsh rugby team
Jamie Baulch

Also every so often I see Dan from Friends Electric | Kostenlose Musik, Tourdaten, Fotos, Videos - he is my cousin.
Um- anyone else? Cannot remember at the moment,
