Claim to fame???

[Lennon]

Everyone has a claim to fame - no matter how small or big, so whats yours? Mine is that I lived opposite Rod Stewarts sister when I was grwoing up (my parents still live there) and Rod used to park his car in our drive when he came to see her. Anyone else got any claims??

Well... My english teacher at school was Simon Le Bon's ex girlfriend, I have a friend who works for Radiohead, I chatted to Alison Steadman in my local shopping centre, Rolf Harris once took my telephone number & then rang me up one day to discuss cats!!! And finally, Paul Daniels & the lovely Debbie Magee helped me choose a new dustbin in Homebase a few months ago...like you do!

My parents were at stephen hendry's parents wedding. I've partied with Steve McFadden at Glastonbury, where I also met the long-haired Chemical Brother. I've shared an escalator at Kensington Tube Station with Anthony Perkins. Been on TV on one of the first outside broadcasts which GMTV did back in the early 80s. And Mrsbobley was almost run over in Camden by Nigel Hawthorne!

Olivia Newton John is sort of my cousin. But not really. My dad's mum's sister (my gran's sister, or my great aunt) married Olivia Newton John's dad. But at this point, ONJ didn't exist. My gran's sister and this bloke split up, then he had ONJ with another woman. I've met loads of rugby players, incuding Kyran Bracken (who came to my school), Mark Regan, Simon Shaw, etc. You might be able to spot the connection! Also, a friend of mine got hospitality passes at an England 6 Nations match and met all the players. More importantly though, he used the urinal next to Lawrence Dallaglio. And, yes, of course he had a look.

I once ironed Bette Davis' clothes and emptied the whiskey bottles out of her bin. Got caught in the crossfire of a water fight between Dave Lee Roth and Ozzy Osbourne. Spent a whole evening running up and down stairs with hot water bottles for 'Dame Edna Everidge' who really is a whingeing Oz! Helped Diana Dors get changed following a lunch appearance (she was a lovely, lovely lady) I have been patronised by Noel Edmonds, ignored by Tom Jones (thankfully!), charmed by Carlos Santana and Hank Marvin, and was told by John Pertwee dressed as Worzle Gummidge that my nose was redder than his ( I had a terrible cold at the time).

erm..... mel c (spice girls) lived down my road and went to the same school as me (although not at the same time) I was a huge Spice girls fan (ha ha) and sent her a birthday card, she replied with a handwritten letter and a signed autograph which all of the girls had signed at the brit awards for me, then got her mum to deliver it directly to my door!!!!

[spiff]

I assure you this is real. in the mid 80's charles and diana visited carlisle,and when di got out of the car,we saw her knickers!!

I was going to say that I got Sid James' autograph but after reading some of the previous posts I don't think I'll bother!

I met Sir Steve Redgrave on millenium bridge in london while he was filming for sports personality of the year. My Grandad is Elvis Costello's godfather and costello worked for my grandad for a short period of time. I once knocked Roy Keans little kid over in the street. My Grandfather also shared a sauna with pink floyd and my mothers met Mr T in New York.

My uncle used to be best friends with Marti Pellow aka Mark McLauchlin and I think he may have babysat me once or twice. I was also in a film called regeneration with Jonny Lee Miller and Jonathan Price.The lead lady (her name escapes me) sat with me and had a smoke and a moan.

My uncle used to manager a hotel in liverpool where all the liverpool team used to drink. My other uncle ran a hotel and when we were there for dinner one night Tom Jones was staying in one of the rooms. The man who lives round the corner from me is Adam Faiths brother. In some way my dad is related to Ricky Tomlinson. The members of Westlife sat in mine and my friends seats at a Boyzone concert before Westlife were famous. When we went to sit back down they appologised and as the were walking down the stairs past us they did that hand on waits/side of person to make sure you dont knock them over. My uncle was fitted the telephones at 5stars house and got their autographs for my cousins and me and then we sat outside their house for 2 hours on the promise they would come and see us but never did!!!
