I do not as a rule meet many famous people - presumably because of the circles that I keep but over the last week I have met a couple of people who I guess could be regarded as being fairly famous to a particular demographic.
The first was the Nottingham Forest football manager Sean Dyche who I mentioned meeting in an earlier post. I have long been a follower of his team back to the days when I was at University in Nottingham and Brian Clough was the manager. While Chelsea have always been my first love, I also look out for the Forest result and I have a number of friends who still regularly watch them play so capturing a selfie with him was certainly something worth remarking upon.
Fast forward a week and my next brush with fame was with Dara O’Brain the Irish comedian who I met in a lift at the conference I attended last week. I must admit that I did not know who it was I was chatting to at the time until a colleague (who had also been in the lift) mentioned it the following morning at breakfast and all became clear later that evening when Mr O’ Brian provided the after dinner entertainment to wrap up the conference (and I was able to get selfie in the bar afterwards).
They say that these things come in threes, so I wonder who I will be meeting next?
