I don't think "numpties" is a word in any language.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/numpty

It is British slang, predominately used in Scotland and the North of England (where I am from.) Is that OK? Am I allowed to use slang?

I met Robbie Williams.. like... loads of times.
He comes from my town, and his nephew used to go to the same nursery as my sister. He always came down in a giant helicopter to pick him up, so I talked to him quite a few times. Weird, but true xD

Gilly is doing another book signing this Saturday (his autobiography- True Colours, has just been released), so I'll get the chance to meet him again soon :)
Like Alex, I've also met heaps of AFL players- including Ben Cousins :oops: , Dean Cox 8) Chris Judd :x :( but mostly eagles players as I'm a member/attend home games.

One thing I forgot to mention earlier was that during the mid-90s, members of the Indian Cricket came to our home for lunch :). I still have a group photo- Kumble, Ganguly and Tendulker are in it, together with some other former players. Sort of fitting as Ganguly and Kumble both recently retired, and the Little Master is in the twilight of his career

Most likely.
But on a side note, I'm so freaking jealous.
Criss Angel = my hero (right next to Stephen Colbert and Jim Cramer).

I met the Decemberists and Carson Ellis.

My uncle used to be BFF for L with Tim Burton. He used to do some set designs for him. After my uncle retired from set designing Tim asked him if he wanted to work on Big Fish with him. My uncle turned him down. :cry: To this day I don't understand how you can tell Tim freakin' Burton no.

Easily. You're not interested in the project, or you have no inspiration for it. Tim Burton to your Uncle is probably just another friend. Not some famous guy if he's that close of friends with him.
