Tenuous links to Claims to Fame

[curiosity]

For a while at work now we've had some fun with really tenuous links we have to famous people e.g Sid Vicious Spat on me, or Pete Beale from Eastenders asked me for directions, Frankie Vali stood behind my sister in the chip shop queue, during which some people come up with some great & real Claims to fame (someone had dinner with Churchill and famous generals as a boy) We do laugh more at the tenuous though. Does anyone have any?

These are great, keep them coming. I have another ... I slept in the bed (not with him) of the man who Gerry Rafferty wrote Bakers Street about.

I was in a club in London once, in the same VIP area as Angel from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'

My friend used to be babysat by R White of R White's lemonade

At Wimbledon, I sat only a few seats away from Freddy Windsor, 30th in line to the throne

Dan Corsi, model and ex of Kerry Katona, once told me to "cheer up" outside a London pub. I'd just left my uncle's funeral.

Think that's all of them...

When my boyfriend was a baby his dad worked in Raymond Blanc's restaraunt as a pot washer, and he (Raymond Blanc) used to bring in his baby's clothes that he'd grown out of soooooooo..... my boyfriend wore Rayumond Blanc's baby's clothes.  Ok so I'm scraping the barrel a little......

I've been thinking about this and I've got somemore:

The Queen drove past me and the family in Windsor Great Park.

I was in a pub in Staines, Surrey about two weeks ago and the lead singer and bassist from local band Hard fi (I think that is what the band is called)  were in there.

I meet Tom Baker at a school fete in the 1970's and saw John Pertwee at a motorbike rally.

The chap who played Uncle Albert in Only Fools & Horses walked past me on Waterloo station.

I am meeting Sir Trevor Brooking at an opening ceremony soon and I will be kicking him in the shins for scoring that winning goal against Arsenal in the 1980 FA Cup Final.... my time has come.... 

[Octavius]

Also, my friends mum was a chef at a famous government residence (not No.10) and she took us on a tour of the building - whilst it was empty of course - she showed us the Royal Apartment where the Queen stays and I had my photo taken sitting on her loo.

Beat that suckers !!!

ps - don't mention this to the authorities, she might get sacked, it was a good few years ago.

I kissed Roy Keane

[Octavius]

I got a table at my local carvery and Jessie Wallace (Kat Slater) came in after me and they said there were no tables available.  I didn't offer mine.

I posed as Roy Keane once to get a kiss fom a young blonde girl

[georgit79]

Was it you? Dammit! No, I didn't mean it, but I really shouldn't have got all that money for selling my 'Keano broke my heart' story to the papers...

When I was at school(all those years ago) our class went to see a production of "Twelfth night " at sloan square theatre. My best friend and I were in line by the stage door when this hunk said excuse me please ladies and the lovely Patrick Mower who was staring as Duke Orsino squeezed between us facing me much to my friends annoyance. He is still gorgeous now. Also my two daughters and myself sat behind Martinne Mcutcheon at a production of "Peter Pan" with Anthony Head as hook last year .My youngest got her autograph, she was a really lovely person to talk to.

Last year I met Teddy Sheringham in a nightclub. I jokingly asked him why he never signed for Arsenal, he looked at me blankly and replied "Are you ******?"
