Minor league. Why do you ask?

Mr Woppit is a true superstar and we are not worthy!

 

I once carried Jack Nicholson's sports jacket for him hile working at Wimbledon. How I failed to make the big time I'll never know.

I served World Cup winning ginger squeaky-voiced Alan Ball (RIP) many a time in the Moss Rose pub in Alderley Edge.

He spoke very highly of you.

Met loads of A,B,C,D-list celebs through work too numerous to mention.
I photographed Cherie Blair for an ad campaign last year which is a bit more interaction that serving her a drink in a pub 🙄

I've had dinner - and breakfast - with David Essex

I fixed Donald Sutherlands Wi-Fi for him and he then shook my hand in a funny way resulting in a £20 note 'appearing' in my palm

Mr Smith, I thought you only photographed Tesco Value cream cakes and stuff, I didn't know you did people 🙂

I filmed with Iwan Thomas a week ago and am doing some more soon

i politely asked jeremy kyle, to his face, to "get out of my way" this morning on my commute to work (my work is right next to granada studios and he was stood in the street with his 'psychologist' mate, right outside the entrance to our underground car/bike park).
he called me a prick.

His twitter is funny, especially when he goes out on the lash and then has to apolagise to his parents. 🙂

Thanks, WackoAK. Tea/keyboard interface scenario.

Harold Shipman was my GP many years ago, and we briefly lived next door to the moors murderers when I was very young...
I don't think they came on here though..

I once met a lost Arthur Scargill in the streets of Nottingham and deliberately gave him the wrong directions.

holy ****....[shudders]

My cousin once dated Clive James' daughter - does that count as the most tenuous claim to fame on here?

My cousin works at a big London theatre. She almost introduced me to Jenny Agutter once.

Also, I shot the sheriff.

On a happier note, I once shagged the violin player in Siouxie and the banshees in the Piccadilly Hotel in Manchester...
Happy days.. 8)

I've met Kevin McCloud twice.

He remembered me the second time. I didn't remember him 8)

I should be famous for stealing Shergar, but unfortunately no-one knows about it.

Happy days..

Did she remember you the next day? 😉

Who cares..
I remember..

You've not been watching the news recently, have you?

[i]I've met Kevin McCloud twice[/i]

I sat on the next table to Kevin McCloud in a little cafe in Portree on Skye. He and (I assume) Mrs McCloud seemed to be having a bit of a tiff.

I met Lemmy in the St Moritz club in Soho nd tried to drink him under the table with the help of Jack Daniels, I woke up in a flat in Golders Green where a very ex girlfriend was upstairs in bed with Jason Newstead.

It's clear that the tread title has, as usual, no bearing whatsoever on the content.

I meet loads through work. None, to my knowledge, post on here though.
The coolest was when Matt Le Tissier popped into my office to say hello.
A mate of mine boffed Jordan. The celeb, not the country. Though he'd give that a go too, I imagine.

I remember..

Nice edit!

She's very nice isn't she?
Never met her, but she always looked like a laugh.
Famous son too......

Sometimes this place lets you know you are a failure in no uncertain terms. AA I am very, very impressed! What have I been doing with my life...

If Jordan's 'home video' I had the displeasure of seeing when at uni was anything to go by, I'd have said the country was the better option.

I often see Orlando Bloom on the Surrey Hills, he borrowed my tyre levers...

Another one I am jealous of... He is one talented and hilarious mofo.

Also, in answer to the questions
I killed Bambi
But I got away with it by framing Roger Rabbit.

As some of these posts are of the 'my milkman's cousin's friend stood next to someone famous once', I'll add that my uncle was a stormtrooper in Star Wars. His [url= http://www.christies.com/Lotfinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4637568 ]helmet[/url] (fnar) was even auctioned off at Christies in 2005 and fetched nearly £20k. Gulp. Gutted to not have been his favourite niece and inherited it!

Drac - I was also on the first series of Junior doctors.... It was me that changed the blonde doctors name to Barbie on our computer system.... She wasnt half as annoying in real life.

I am a team member in a Scrapheap Challenge type show called Motor Morphers, airing in May on Channel 5, does that count?

Went on a 1st date with a girl last Saturday.

She turned out to be the big sister of the chap is plays Jackson in Shameless

One of my favourite shows - well pleased!

Saw Dolph Lundgren on a market in Paris a long time ago.

Met Charles Dance when they were filming in Brussels.

Sold a few bottles of beer to Roy Keane when I worked on the bar at Cirque du Soleil.

Was destroyed in an argument trying to defend the north when pissed up at a wedding by Michael Buerk.

But the highlight i think was handing room keys over when I worked in a hotel to (drum roll please)....

Roy Walker from Catchphrase!
