Well I guess I ll start this topic off by sharing my moments when i met Ronan. Being fortunate enough to have met him I ll give you a lil inside into my memories. The first time i met him was in August 2002 in Cologne. I think he was doing TOTP. Anyway a friend and i took a 7 hour car journey across the country to go to cologne on an offchance really. Not a clue where he would be staying we toured through Cologne one hotel at the time and even the TOTP studios. I gues from there we found out he was staying at the "Wasserturm". Arriving there it was swamped by fans..nothing unusual there..lol. It was blinding hot and i dont think we had waited too long and he came out.. I was shaking..he was sooo close..but i dont think he stayed for a chat and signs. So he headed of down town. In the afternoon Yvonne and Jack came out heading off what it looked like shopping. Ronan came back in the afternoon..this time he stopped. Some lucky ones got autographs...I just stood there..taking it all in and got a few pictures. I was just too nervoes...lol...but so worth it! More to follow...

5 month later..I had moved to England beginning of october knowing full well Ronan was doing a Live show at Capital fm in London for a few nights. Wishing i could be there..as i was in Milton Keynes..just an hour and a half on the train away.. Come friday (i think it was) i was in a meeting at 8pm thinking i could go early, catch the tube and head off. Capital fm was at Traffalgar Square (could be Leicester Sq though) a corner building. I walked round with a friend of mine..only waiting a few minutes (how lucky!). In a split second i noticed a "guy" just standing there on its own..not recognizing at first until i looked closer. Sure enough..there he was..all alone (lol) Barry must have just gotten the car.... Luckily there were only 2 other fans stopping for a few photos..giving me a sec to get me cam out..nervous as hell! Before i knew it i was asking him for a photo..my first one with him! So chuffed!!! Never thought i would ever be that lucky! more to follow...

5th time was back at the CD:UK Studios in London on the 14th Feb 2004..Valentinesday! I missed him arriving..he must have been quite early and i couldn't get into London fast enough but i knew he was there already seeing his driver parked nearby. Yeah i got quite familiar with the guys around him...and no im not a stalker..lol. Just knew when he would be back in London and if i had time off over the weekend why not make the effort in going down to the studios? lol Well a couple of hours later he sure came rushing out..only being aproach by one other fan he dashed to the car to catch his flight back to Dublin. But i couldn't just leave without asking for a photo and an autograph and asked him. "Yeah sure (i swear he knew my name by than lol) he said..I'm only gonna be late for my flight..sarcasticly with a grin but still nice to sign a photo for me, bless him... more to follow...

6th and to date the last time i met him was back at CD:UK in London on 24th April 2004 when he was promoting "last thing on my mind" with LeAnn Rimes. I actually only went down on the off chance, waiting quite a while not sure if he really would turn up. But passing the time meeting others "stars" on the day..Think it was Westlife and Will Young but not sure. Surprised to see LeAnn Rimes getting out of the car being surrounded by loads of "fans" I got a couple of snaps whilst she was passing quite happily chatting to people approaching her. Ronan soon followed but had to wait for a proper stop at the end of his appearance. Nice as always... I actually met him once more after that but not got photos uploaded...havent had a digi cam back then and my friend took the photos..need to have a look around and a scan in..

15/04/2012 Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London Only been there half an hour..found the stage doors..checked twitter..had lunch..checked twitter...walked round the back again. Standing there seeing only a couple of people arrive. Until i saw a silver car arrive..doors open and omg..there he was in his skinny jeans, tshirt, scarf and beanie head and sunglasses. I almost dropped my phone and thought those autograph hunters are gonna get there first. Well I asked nicely if he would mind havin a photo taken and he jus said "sure" with a smile on his face. Getting my iphone set up taking a few seconds more than expected. Saying "sorry" and getting a calm "no worries" back. Just meant i could spent a few more seconds at his side..lol.. Well I only took one..forgetting a pen to get something signed was pretty stupid but by the time i actually got my booklets out he was probably through the doors. I was just grinning from ear to ear...also Ronan getting annoyed with" those guys" wanting more and more stuff signed.. "what, right now?" in almost a highpitched noise. His voice was actually better after havin lost it (twitter) a few days prior. Not sure if i should post the whole picture..cause i really dont like meself in it (hair messed up from a windy and long day in London) I might edit it a lil..but for now..I ll post the gorgeous Mr. K himself
