lukeyboy Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Had a golf lesson off Geoff Boycott once and I had no idea who he was (not a cricket fan) My friend used to be Dickie Birds neighbour I DJ'd with Showaddywaddy twice Went to London over xmas and bumped into the the fit black teacher lady from CH4 "teachers"!! I had dinner with comedian and winnner of new faces, Billy Pearce, in Blackpool a couple of years ago. Just remembered another one.... Chris de Burgh stopped in my mates hotel before xmas (didn't see his daughter though ) Does any of these count as famous or just embarassing?? Quote

Boomy Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Mine are all rubbish and not all are true claim to fame type things...but what the hell.. I bumped into Rolf Harris at a cashpoint in London.When i say "bumped", i really did bang into him. A friend went out with Rod Hulls daughter Someone else i know had a mate who shagged Kelly Brook (she used to live around this way) I waved at Billy Connolly from a coach and he waved back My first ever proper go in a petrol kart, i beat all the kids whos parents spend thousands on them a year to race properly (it counts for me ok!) I am sure i stood next to Roger Moore at some opening type thing at a swimming pool Someone i went to school with has been on the tv show the Bill i think Talking of the Bill, my Dad told some of the crew from that series that they could not stop him driving down the road they were about to film in, so made his way zig zag style through all the vans and cameras etc. I shook Sharons (Eastenders) hand and she hit my mate in the head with a cream egg.I caught it and ate it. I have a few signed posters from various well known boxers due to my woman working for the solicitors Frank Warren used.I also have a sports network leather jacket somewhere, given to me for free.I was told i could not wear it to boxing matches i was invited to however due to the security wearing the same jackets. I saw Chris Eubank drive past me in his truck a few months back (so do most of the residents in Brighton though) I worked next door to Vic Lee Motorsports in the 90's and saw Will hoy and Tim Harveys cars regularly - then he got busted for drugs! I used to see Cheryl Baker quite a lot, she lived in a house where we purchased our first home before she became really famous. I have an autograph from that Diddy Davies bloke - can't remember his proper name....dj i think? He opened a video store near us back in the 80's. We went to look at the Virgin Atlantic challenge boat when Branson stopped for something to eat in Gravesend in the early 90's.My mates Dad worked on the river so called us up to come look at it. I have played an online terrorist vs counter terrorist game against Jodie Kidd and virtualy killed her Any of those any good for now? Quote
