Seeing as how Shiver will has found fame (and no doubt will be in next years celeb BB ) I just thought I'd see who else here has a "claim to fame"..I have a few..
I met former Rangers and Holland footballer Arthur Numan in Glasgow one day...
My band played with Deicide when they toured a few years back...
I met Anthony Keidis from the RHCP in a bar last year. He bought me a pint. Bloody nice guy.
When I was 15, my football team played the Man Utd Grass Roots team in a bounce game. We lost 16-0.
come on...Im sure a few of us have similar stories! |

When I was eleven, I was an extra in the BBC series 'Secret Army' which was partly shot in Brussels. At the studio I stood in the lift with Clifford Rose.
I once had lunch with Bob Geldof (a mate worked for a record company and we met up by chance just as they were about to have lunch, and they invited me)
That's about it... |

I once ate lunch at the booth next to Ted Nugent, a hard rocking guitar player, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After he finished lunch, I had a small chat with him. It was like meeting the most important person in my life at the time. Plus, the girl he had there was smokin' hot!
Within two weeks, I will be on the local news doing a spot on baiting. The interview is set for early next week. The way I have it figured, that will be my greatest claim to fame. |

At 20 I made it in the newspaper for skiing down the hill in just my jacket and boxers. I was in a band at 15 and our songs were OCCASIONALLY played on the radio. |

i bought something in a nightclub off Shaun Ryder when he was living in Cork... ended up in his house for the weekend, with about 50 others!
i served Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington water at my first ever waiters job, the restaurant was U2s place "The Clarence Hotel" so i met all of them, also had a paycheck signed by The Edge, (he actually signed it The Edge, caused some confusion at the bank)
met Steve Coogan in a pub in Kerry, looking for a lighter!
met loads of Irish celebs, including telling a very drunk Ronnie Drew he was driving down a one way street
i met John Malkovich in Dublin, i`d just stopped to say hello when a few Welsh girls literally mobbed him and tried to steal his hat. |

My great-aunt was a well-known Ozzie gangster/madame/crime lady from the 30s and 40s. We have photos of her with my Uncle in her furs and diamonds.
We have some classic family stories. Of course, she was a thoroughly cruel and unpleasant woman, but it's interesting to hear the family background to her life. |

I tangentially knew one of the Trailer Park Boys back in university. Some claim to fame, huh? |

1. I spent a week on the bus with the Glenn Miller Band in 1974 as a guest (I was 16).
2. I had to help the brother of the present King of Thailand find the rest room after he had gotten totally drunk at a wine tasting. I also had to wait for him and lead him back to the tasting room when he was "finished." (1985)
3. Since I was active as a classical musician for many years, I had occasion to rub shoulders with a few big names on the classical front. In fact at the conservatory I was fairly friendly with Barbara Bonney, now international opera soprano diva. Among other things, we sang together in a vocal octet.
4. I literally "ran into" Leonard Bernstein in 1975. I had been at a Stan Kenton concert at Harvard and wanted to get the last subway home (Red Line from Harvard Square). I was running out of the concert hall and down the stairs and ran right into Berstein, who wanted to catch the end of the concert. The effect was that I almost knocked him down a flight of about 50 steps of marble stairs. I had to grab him by his suit jacket lapel to stop him from falling. Yes, I almost killed Leonard Bernstein.
How embarrassing! I excused myself and ran along. And yes, I caught the subway. |

<br>Where do I start?
Years ago my sister kissed Prince Charles on the cheek on one of his royal walkabouts. Lady Diana was still in nappies at that time.
I also once asked TV chef Anthony Worrall-Thompson the recipe for Yorkshire puddings when he came into my local pub once. We were doing a quiz and I just wanted confirmation we had got the answer right.
I also once saw comedian Ken Dodd crossing the road in Liverpool wearing a cossack hat - him, not me. That was before he got done for tax evasion. I later went on to become a personal tax specialist. What a coincidence!
I was also at the same college as Debbie Greenwood in Liverpool in the 1970s. She was a beauty queen (former Miss UK, I think) and she went on to become a presenter on Breakfast TV in its early days. Never shagged her though.
My cousin knows Dave Rothray from 'The Beatiful South' and I saw him at one of her parties once. Never talked to him though. I have also seen his fellow band member Paul Heaton in my local club. Didn't speak to him either.
I once spent a miserable New Year in a Leeds hotel with some of the members of the cast of Emmerdale Farm a number of years ago. That was before the plane dropped on the village and the Farm disappeared. I also saw Alan Turner from Emmerdale in Leeds railway station buffet another time. He sat on the next table. Didn't speak to him though.
Not sure if these qualify as claims to fame or just brushes with the rich and famous? |

I read out a poem I'd written in French at my old school's reopening ceremony (after renovations) in front of several politicians and excitable journalists, and afterwards Tony Blair shook my hand. So far, three people have told me I should have done something outrageously defiant on camera. Unfortunately, thanks to the fire strikes neither I nor the school's lovely choir got more than a second of airtime on Look North. |

there was a movie being filmed at the university this past October, and as I was walking down the road where all the trailers were parked, Samuel L. Jackson got off one of the trailers, and, without me knowing, I accidentally bumped into him. We said our sorries and moved along.
I met Eric Lindros (Hockey player) in the men's washroom as well. |

As a young lad (a future, spots, hair) I worked in our local petrol station - it was just off the M4 motorway (or freeway if you prefer!) and so picked up a bit of trade.
The ones I remember:
David 'Kid' Jensen (when he was famous!)
The Daily Express cartoonist 'Giles'
Ken Barlow from Coronation Street - I didn't recognise him as I don't watch the soap but my colleague did and went nuts that she missed the opportunity..
Brian Close (England cricketer apparently)
Windsor Davies (actor: It ain't half hot, mum) |

In the same day I was made a cup of tea by an Oscar-winning actor and a former armed bank robber
I met Siouxsie (of Banshees fame) and chatted to her for half an hour; what a nice person, nothing like the shitehawks of the music press portrayed her.
I got very pissed with former England international footballer Frank Worthington. |
