Claim to Fame

[miffy]

Shared a bag of jelly babies with Midge Ure at Birmingham train station when i was a student!
One of the presenters from Bargain Hunt on the BBC lives opposite my house on the other side of the village green!
I met Dean Richards of now disgraced rugby fame at the opening of a new car showroom in Hinckley in Leciestershire when he was still playing for rugby, he signed my sons baseball hat. He is a huge fella.
Also met John Cooper, he who invented the mini cooper at a rally in Brighton. Lovely fella.
Saw John Nettles in Stratford a couple of months back he was walking into a shop as i was walking out, looked good with a beard. Very different to his character in Midsomer Murders. No casualties about either!!

I've sold a squash court with glass back walls to Tommy Steele and a glass topped coffee table to Ringo Starr. My sister used to live next door to Gordon Banks. My OH and I literally bumped into Geoffrey Boycott at Trent Bridge and OH was so gobsmacked he couldn't speak!

I've got some very tenuous claims to fame:

1: the Actor who played Author Fowler, (the original old git from Enders) nearly ran me over whilst I was crossing the road at lunch time (his fault) years ago.
2: I saw Jade Goody in Wimbledon Ikea and went in the opposite direction
3: The fat German from Allo Allo used to use my village local Post office
4: Working as an editorial assistant, I answered the phoned and spoke to a bloke called Charlie Watts (my boss was horrified that I didn't have a clue who Charlie was).
5: Jonathan Ridgeon (Hurdlist?) went to my school
6: The percussionist from Ocean Colour Scene gave me the Thumbs Up at one of their gigs at the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

And I'm a monkey's uncle.

But do you know the organ grinder?

Big Daddy threatened to sit on me in a carpark in Weymouth (circa. 1980 - 1982)*



*I was about 4yrs old and refusing to get out of the car, he came over and helped my parents 'encourage' me out of the car. I got out of the car.
