WHO'S GOT THE BEST CLAIM TO FAME ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

When I was a kid, my Mum took me up to London shopping.  We were in a clothes shop on the Kings Rd, Chelsea, and there was a young woman who looked vaguely familiar trying on corduroy trousers.  Only much later did we realise it was Lady Di!

When I was in the Guides, the Queen Mum came to our church to unveil a plaque.  We were lined up either side of a path, and she spoke to the girl next to me.

I've shared tube trains with Michael Fish and Norman Wisdom.

Finally, this is my uncle Paul in this Italian advert! click!

:D

Wow..with these claim to fame tales you are really spoling us! :D

Actually, i hate the way they use those same type of ads in the UK and just dub over the voices.It comes across like some terrible Japanese fighting movie the way the lips move and the words don't relate :D

Hmmm, not exactly all 'my' claims, but

- SWMBO's cousin was the 5th Dr Who  ;)

- I've shaken hands with Princess Alexandria

- we had dinner in Cyprus with Liza Goddard and her partner

- SWMBO went to a party at Stanley Kubrick's house

- her elder brother is in top 10 ranked tennis coaches and coached most of Genesis and their wives/girlfriends earlier in his career

- I did skid pan training at Brands Hatch race school in 1973 with Ronnie Scott (of jazz club fame)

What I think is so funny about the ad is that my uncle doesn't speak a word of Italian, so he had to learn it phonetically, then was dubbed over by a real Italian.  Plus, he hates driving and has never owned a car!  :D

I was shown how to play the didgeridoo by Rolf himself when he played St Davids Hall in Cardiff.

I condemned Joan of Arc to death in "Joan of Arc" (part of Discovery Channels Warrior Women Series) introduced by Lucy Lawless, who we went for a pint with afterwards (Top girl)

Met and had very long chat with Amir Khan at Ric Woods rolling road mid 2006.

The Boghouse was on the rollers for it's full mapping and Amir had brought his beemer in for chipping.

He took photos of the boghouse and thought the noise at full chat was "tough" :cool:  He even stayed to watch ther final power figures being achieved.

To cap it all he gave me his agents phone number so I can get myself a ticket to a fight :cool:  :cool:

A "proper" nice lad...even though he nearly broke my hand while shaking it :0

Very rarely am I impressed with celebrity...But there's loads out there who could take a lesson in normality/manners/attitude/genuine hard work from him.

Did a meet and greet for the concert party visiting the troops in Egypt when I was fighting for peace (I won't tell you what I did for virginity!) - Rolf Harris was top of the bill, and a great bloke.

Sat in on an interview with Tony Hancock's widow when I was a press photographer.

Served in the same unit as James Hewitt.

Met Charles and Di in Towyn during the floods - again a press gig.

Best of all, I used to do a bit of bouncing (Artistes services), and spent the night drinking whisky with Frank Sinatra when assigned to stand outside his hotel room.   Top top man!

I know Mark Stanton!!!!
