Ever ask a celeb to share a selfie with you?

[The Camel]

No, never.

I would not have recognized hardly of those people, to be honest, outside of Donald Trump & the 2 boxers.

It's a very strange fixation, wanting a selfie with a celeb, don't you think?

Yeah, got drunk at the cricket last year and caught a few of the England cricket team on their way out to their cars lol. Would never normally do that.

I got one with Nick Leeson once.

Yeah I hate it. Taking pictures of famous people is ok. That's always been ok. The new generation want to grab attention and say "Look at me with this famous person"

 Got one with Lanky the Giraffe, the Lancs CC mascot, when I went to the Test Match at Old Trafford last Summer.

Doubt this will be beaten.

1/12 That Spiderman asked for that picture to be taken with Tikay and Tony generously gave up 15 seconds of his time to please the superhero.

I once asked Red-Dog to take a picture of us together a few years back when we were both missing our front teeth by some strange coincidence.

I don't know if he had his thumb over the lens or if his phone took a dislike to me but for some reason the photo didn't come out which was a shame really as it could have been a classic.

I have a general dislike of selfies in general - but to be fair it might well be that you make a more pertinent point. If you meet a well known person you admire and have the chance of exchanging a few words with them - it's probably not unreasonable to like the idea of a photo of the two of you together to remind you of the event in future.

The problem is as you've suggested, the main reason for taking the selfie (with or without a celebrity) for most people seems to be  to basically say, "look at me!!!" - it's the intent that I find so annoying rather than the act itself.

I've had a photo taken of me with Terry Pratchett and my girlfriend has had a selfie with Taylor Swift in the past for the former reason - I think even that is a little uncomfortable in my head, in future I'm planning on definitely staying behind the lens only.

Obv I like the idea of selfies. I think they make for great memories.

I take your points on board, but what is the difference between a photo that says "Look at Me" and a post that says "Look at my opinion"?

I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time this weekend, and got a picture with Pacman.
