Claims to fame

What are yours?

My brother was once on The Big Breakfast.

A photo was taken of my hand mere inches away from the arse of Momus.

I think that's it.

I met Martin Clunes in a pub once. Does that count?

[Clementine]

I gave Princess Diana some flowers.
Neil Gaiman sent me hugs on Twitter.
Oh and I have some sort of tenuous family connection to Sean Bean.

[Cepaea24]

My nan dated David Prowse a.k.a The man in the darth Vader costume! I could totally be darth Vaders illegitimate grandson

I saw Yoko Ono walking in Hyde Park when I was in London a few years ago but I felt too shy to go and talk to her

I also saw Stitch Duran (UFC cutman) in Nottingham when UFC had it's first event here but again, felt too shy to actually talk to him zzzz

I'm too shy!!!!

I was in the audience of a danish tv show recently by accident.
Before I scrapped it my old car had done over 500,000 miles.

[Merritt]

Impressive stuff! Keep it coming

I am also technically a published writer, in that one of my entries was included in the Law of the Playground book (not telling which one though)

[Cepaea24]

I have a few more

Was almost in casualty (the show) once. They used to film at schools in my neighbourhood, one time they decided they wanted a winter scene with kids playing...... only it was the middle of summer! We all dressed up in scarves and gloves and ran around in the playground almost getting heat stroke and then they cut it from the show

I can also definitively say I have better nuts than Chris Packham..... saw him trying to film a bit on squirrels on Brandon Hill in Bristol, he was feeding them nuts trying to bring them over. But I was there before him and they liked my nuts better so I stole all the squirrels! Take that Packham!

I also was within like 2-3 meters of David Attenborough at WildScreen Bristol, he was doing a question and answer thing but I was too nervous to say anything

[Jam]

I had a brief relationship with someone who went on to have a number 1 single a year after we broke up.

[Omar Little]

I played online poker against one of the guys what created MS Word. He was playing low stakes cos he was on a boat and his connection was shit. Played against a lot of people famous in the poker world, including Vicky Coren and... people you won't know.

Think that's it.

[Jam]

[flumpsy]

[Omar Little]

@biscuits, Oh yeah. That too

And, this guy



sat opposite me on a train a few years ago. He was lost in his own little world, his finger knuckle-deep in his nostril. Knuckle deep.

[Jam]

Nope.

I just looked on wiki, and her album also reached number 1 in UK and Ireland.

Her career quickly went to shit afterwards. Just like my life did.

[flumpsy]

Actually JAM, I think I remember it in the daily star, was it the entire 1990 England national football team ?

Oh and I met Dana at a hog roast when I was a kid. I think she won Eurovision once or something.

[Omar Little]

I shot JFK. And J.R. Ewing.

[Merritt]

I had a front row seat at a John Shuttleworth show and he sort of vaguely glanced at me once.

[Merritt]

My family (before I was born) lived next door to members of Showaddywaddy.

[flumpsy]

I sort of lived next door to fearne cotton for a while. I went to one of her parties.

[Omar Little]

^^^Oh, ah. That reminds me, Arthur Lee once stared at me for a good minute during the instrumental part of one of his songs. I just stared right back. It was Arthur ****ing Lee, staring at me.

Too much coyness in this thread. People withholding names. Spill, for ****'s sake!

[flumpsy]

^ Wow, arthur lee, I am in awe. How long ago was this ?

[Omar Little]

I don't know, a year or two before he died, maybe longer. It was during that brief year or two when Love were all the rage again.

Feb 6th 2004.

He seemed to have a lot of phlegm building up, so he kept shooting great gobs of the stuff on the wall behind him.
