worldwidewebs Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Was waiting at the top of the gondola in Val d'Isere and some bloke said hello to me. Only realised later it was Carl Fogarty. I suppose that's his claim to fame... Quote
thebutler Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Right, Won a competition a few years back and got VIP tickets to Silverstone. Sat in a grandstand one row behind Kate Holden (well fit ) and met JK, as well as that bloke the head of Ferrari - whoever they are I was in the queue for the chopper at the end of the day behind Gordon Ramsey and Ross Kemp. Ross was in a Benson & Hedges racing suit as he'd been doing some driving or something earlier in the day. Probably saw more celebs but got lashed on the free wind and champers and can't remember that much Quote
FW500 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 [being Argumentative] Surely a claim to fame isn't 'meeting somebody vaugely famous' ?? That's just meeting somebody else who has a claim to fame? [/being Argumentative] Quote
*Emma* Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Right, I've been on "BBC Radio Leicester" asking a question on the programme 'Down to Earth'. So I am famous if you're into gardening, live in Leicestershire, and give a s**t. Quote
In my dust Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Two world-beating tenuous-links of a claim-to-fame...... I had a Slash next to Paul DiAnno previously of Iron Maiden in the bogs at the back of the Ruskin Arms, we had a very drunken conversation about the state of the floor if I remember. We chatted a few times that night but the 'having a Slash next to someone famous' is timeless. I think that my gran chaged Anton Rogers' nappy a few times. I know Richard Goodwin the inventor of the automatic chequebook! Quote

mr-rad Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I used to work for a motor project and appeared on telly about half a dozen times, mostly news progs but North Of Westminster did a half hour slot about us. When I was 14 I was photographed for a Norwegian English textbook. I filled Dennis Healeys Jag with petrol (both tanks)! Quote
