Probably not famous to many of you...

Charley Boorman
Claudio von Planta
Iva Davies (Icehouse)
Craig Bloxham (v.Spy v.Spy)
Various Australian politicians including fmr Prime Minister Howard.

For those who played the Trainz series (Auran/N3V Games) I was employed by them for some time, and Greg Lane took me on a flying lesson in his ultralight.

My sister-in-law has various levels of relationships with the likes of Keith Urban, Mel Gibson, Johnny Depp etc through her husband.

I know these guys, that's good stuff. They seem really nice people

I almost forgot I also met the New Zealand Minister of of Commerce (Paul Goldsmith)

My mother-in-law's best friend is the sister of Lucy Lawless (Xena Warrior Princess) but I haven't met her yet :)

I had Claudio to myself for 15 minutes. For the stuff he's done, he's one of the humblest and down to earth people I've met. His first job was covering the Afghanistan-Russian war where he interviewed Bin Laden.

One of the best things of being from a very small country, is that when other football national teams come to your country for the Euro/world cup qualifying, you can meet the players without many trouble. Not like in Spain where Security and Police all over the place LOL.

I don't know if there are many people here who are interested in CS:GO professional scene, but I've been to ESL One Katowice 3 times and met a lot of professional players, casters, streamers and youtubers there, took some photos with them aswell. E.g: Cloud9, Virtus.pro, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Fnatic, Anders Blume and many more.

My second cousin used to play for Tottenham Hotspur from 1989-99, Justin Edinburgh, he was also the last person to ever be sent off at Wembley, not the giant dog-mess, the pretty one with the towers. Met him a few times when I was a child, not met him in donkeys years though.
I met Tom Penny last week, a pro skateboarder from Oxford, really nice bloke, we sat drank tea and smoked many doobies.
My dad got me a load of signed pictures from last weeks british motoGP, which I'm super happy about.
That's the road to happiness and personal satisfaction, That's why they don't want you to take it.
