Has anyone here got any claims to fame?'

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

I once rang Jimmy Wagg and lost it slightly...................before the git cut across me just as I was getting into my stride.

Apart from that, er, I was at Sandhurst with Joan Collins's sister (she's 30 years younger.......and was gorgeous) and Chris De Burgh's cousin (he was a complete tw*t). Ryan Gigg's brother once told me who he was and that I didn't dare try and take him on outside Piccadilly 21. That didn't end well for him.

And to make matters worse, when he got home he found his Mrs in bed with his brother :lol:

To be clear. Is the bold bit referencing Rhodri Giggs or Bob? :wink:

I think he's getting confused with Spartacus.

What she actually said was "Thank God! A decent chopper at last!"

Wouldn't say 'fame' but my sister in law's uncle is premiership referee Lee Mason and on the other side of the family her cousin is Andrew Kellet.

Lee Mason gave me the impression he his a big head.

The line "...if I wasn't a premier league referee then I would be a millionaire..." made more than a few eyes in the room roll.

I was once Alexander the Greats chief eunuch.

Tatum O'Neill had a wander around my stall at the Last Drop antiques market when she was filming International Velvet at Park Hall, back in 1978. Got her autograph for the kids.

I was in the lift in Whittaker's in 1976 with my girlfriend and Peter Reid and Sam Allardyce.

It's fair to say they acted very childishly, opening and closing the doors, pressing all (3 ??) floor buttons and commenting on my partners, rather nice, arse. Not impressed, but Sam was huge even back then.

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.
