I was going to ask if being a Journalist counts.

In reply to archangel

Why not?

In reply to uton

You meet the sisters? Did you tell Serena she is GOAT?

In reply to black
How come no one mentioned CHRISSY.

In reply to JahJah



man uh spill mi Mauby with that Bellboy crack

In reply to black

now you say that.

I met Serena a few years ago here in Barbados..dang!!!!

but for all the cricketers I have met and PMs from across the diaspora...I am yet to meet C H Gayle face to face...hes someone I would like to meet and chat with...soon though.

I have met many Hollywood stars...from Shaft..RICHARD ROUNDTREE to Hulk Hogan...Bajans tend not to star gaze too much to be honest.

We acknowledge them here all the time but we dont harass them.

The main one I met tho was Jesus Christ who introduced me to the HOLY SPIRIT who led me right back to the FATHER

all others pale in comparison

In reply to black

When I met Serena she was only a rising star, it was on a flight from L.A to Sydney around 2002, what struck me about her was that her shoulders were as wide as mine and I am not a small guy.

I met Venus two years ago as we both stayed in the same hotel during the US Open, she seemed friendly and looks much better in person than on TV. I also met Mauresmo at the same time and she was not pleasing to the eye.

In reply to powen001

Really?????

I do not recall meeting you!!!!!!!!!!

In reply to Dukes

Ha ha...

I was his Ball Boy at a charity tennis tournament back in the 80's.. right here In Barbados at Sam Lords Castle.

Perfect Gentleman indeed.

In reply to nick2020

ONLY because you speak out of pure ignorance of the Gospel of Christ..so you would not get it.

and B...

I am not a Church guy...but I know you wouldnt get that either.

anything beyond the little bit I typed would only serve to hurt your head but IF you are ever really serious...we can chat.

Too many two of the funniest was Noel Gallagher of the rock band Oasis ...he started to talk to me in a jamaican accent.. straight after he mashed up the west end they were in their pom and it was front news in the London Standard then the other was Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin I never even recognize the guy he went out his way to say hello. I presume he hangs out with loads of Dreads from time to time.

I never met Michael Jordan, but I worked with a guy whose nephew raced on the MJ racing team. If you are not into motorcycle racing, you probably never heard of "MJ racing."

As I remember I would post..

A nice little fun thread ..some nice nostalgia ..

In reply to black

Stupid is as stupid does Mr Black...this thread reminds me of primary school
gathering to garnish the exploits of our famous dads and ilk.

Can you give me a definition of 'famous'...famous people. I assure
you that the definition would have a high subjective content.

I'm a very famous person and yyou call me stupid.

and nb...i dont have a problem with the thread....in fact its rare
to find an interesting thread on CC worth following far less to post.
