Well, I ended up sat next to Tony Blackburn in the visa processing queue at the US Embassy.Little Green Man wrote:I once walked past Tony Blackburn on the pavement in front of Freddie Mercury's house.
Not sure that's strictly a claim to fame though.
May the bridges I burn light your way

My wife and I walked into a lift just as Eartha Kitt was walking out with her entourage of Black miniature poodles.
This was in the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood in 1995.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

She was the star turn at the Cabaret Bar which was attached to the front of the hotel. It was called the Cinegrill or some such. Any way this was about 10.00 am and she looked FABULOUS darling.
I also saw Sam from Quantum Leap (Scott Bakula?) at the same place in 2000 when we stayed there again.

Persuasive girl I was with blagged us backstage passes at an Oasis gig in Grenoble in '96. Liam came down absolutely shit-faced and started pointing at me shouting 'Giggsy, Look, it's Quentin Fookin' Taranteeeeeeenooooooooo!' (a regular if unflattering comparison in those days). He then sat down and was unfailingly polite discussing the fact that we'd drawn with City that day, and how he liked Bolton fans because they weren't Utd fans.

No, but he has.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

From time to time in some kind of mental dyslexia I call my second wife by my first wife's name. My second wife is much smarter as her first husband has the same name as me. Life is not fair at times.Lord Kangana wrote:No, but he has.

Re: Has anyone here got any claims to fame?'
A frequent mistake in our house. Only one letter difference between mk1 and mk2 so its an easy mistake to make. My wife, on the other hand, has no such excuse but that doesn't stop her calling me by a variety of former partners names

My gf when she was at uni turned down an up-and-coming act's frontman when he asked her out after a small gig.Salford Trotter wrote:my mrs snogged him at 6th form College (prior to meeting me of course)Bijou Bob wrote:I was at school with Christopher Eccleston. He won't know me from Adam.
This was in Sheffield... and he's now worth £10m.
She must wonder where it all went wrong.

A uni friend of mine was an unused substitute in an FA cup last qualifying round for Gateshead in 2008. They lost 3-2 away at Droyslden, the manager put it down to a weak bench.
''Amazing! Out of nothing Bolton are level. A quick throw, Kevin Nolan keeps play alive in the box and finds Kevin Davies on the left who lashes a shot under Oliver Kahn.''
