I argued with James May about The Who in geography class.

You probably know Adrian, my dental technician, then?

On a mountain bike related one, I took some water from Joe Barnes at the 2nd round of the Irish Gravity Enduro last year. Nice fella.

FWIW I believe that I'm in the Bond film, Dr No. My mum was an extra in a crowd scene. She was pregnant at the time.

My old man's old man was art director on that. 😉

Binners is in me.

😯

I forgot about the fact that I was in a film with Christian Slater and Marissa Tomei.

It's called 'Untamed Heart', and I'm the arm at the very back of the night club scene.

I got chatting to a pretty girl in the airport lounge in Vegas a few weeks ago. Till her husband turned up. 'Nice to meet you Nicholas Cage'. 😯

SaxonRider - One of the greatest arms on film IMO.

@ PMJ- we must be related! Hello Bro 🙂

Blatantly! 😉

I was 'on' treasure hunt with Anneka Rice when I was about 10. When I say on I mean we chased her and the film around on our bikes shouting. Mates with a fairly famous photographer who used to be a director for Maxim magazine, some of the parties were interesting. Still my favouritest encounter was buying/having a pint with Rob Howley and Warren Gatland last year in the Richmond Gate hotel. Really nice blokes even if I was a little star struck....

I did the smoke machine on Bon Jovi's "hey god" video

My Mrs has been on East Enders amongst others

Minor league. Why do you ask?

Wow! I frequent the same forum as Mr Woppit from criminally under rated The Sound.

the woman i sit next to at work has just mentioned that she's in the first harry potter film at the end, in the train station at hogworts.

My name is on the credits of American movies and UK tv series

I've been lied about in a national tabloid newspaper

I have snogged some famous(ish) people

I am not famous

As a baby, I puked on Cliff Richard 8)
As a child, I bought a budgeriegar off Big Daddy. 😕
As an adult, I have no claim to fames at all. 🙁

I once stood behind Dave Vanian in a phone queue. My proudest and greatest moment I think.

Anyone remember the Milkybar kid advert where he was at the circus?

No. Well, anyway. Some kids from our school were asked to go to the recording of it and be in the circus audience. At the end of the ad, everyone rushes the MB Kid and gets Milky Bars. For some reason, not one of us ended up in the final edit.....

Spent all day there and for our trouble, we got......1 Milky bar!!

Actually....I just remembered, we got filmed for evening TV at school - we had to climb ropes and stuff in the gym because they were interviewing our pillock of a PE teacher (he was a professional rugby player and a right idiot). I was on screen (in the background admittedly) for a whole second. Now that's true fame.

I think Gary Cooper was a cousin of my grandmnother as well.

Wow! I frequent the same forum as Mr Woppit from criminally under rated The Sound.

On a 6th form London trip we were descending the escalator when I spotted Dave Allen getting on at the bottom, in an overly loud whisper audible back in Yorkshire I said "Look, there's Dave Allen", we all looked and he fixed me with a look and an enigmatic smile all the way up, past and to the top of the escalator. I shrank about 3ft in the process and you could have fried an egg on my cheeks.

Was also taken to a motorbike championship race and introduced to this bloke in leathers, standing by his bike. My excited uncle grabbed the guys attention and as a way of introducing me to the rider, he said "You know who this is?" I looked at the bloke and my 10yr old self said "No!"
Sorry, Barry Sheene you were brilliant and I was clueless.

I once met lofty from it ain't half hot mum when I was cub scout, we made him a cup of tea. Also met Sia Furler several times and chatted to her as well, after or before her solo and Zero7 gigs, she would defo get it. 🙂

If its minor league you want. I once saw black lace at a skeg caravan park.

My school bag has been in a film.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272747/

They used our school as a location, sadly I didn't make it on screen, but in the shots of the playground my bag is clearly visible.

a guy i worked with was serving leon haslam. He took his name for the database and said....."haslam...have you ever heard of ron haslam?".

"Yeah" came the reply. "it's my dad"

I used to train in joe calzaghe's fathers gym when joe was junior champion many years ago.
Once met Steve worland at cwmcarn doing a photo shoot .
I actually printed the cover of the official royal wedding programme ( Will and Kate's )
And today I met Rowan Sorrell at a presentation do for bike park Wales and a local cycle and stay project in Merthyr Tydfil , really nice guy too.

At least 2 people in this thread have claimed vicarious fame by quoting my name. So I must be famous.

My brother claims to have met Phil Lynott in a pub once. He still talks about it, regularly.

I frequent an internet forum which used to be used by a bloke who claimed his dad taught Phil Lynott how to play bass.

How awesome is that?

A friend of mine has a picture of her naked with Cliff Richard.

(When they were children, I hasten to add)

I'm vaguely related to Brian McClair, though I no longer have any contact with that side of the family (had this published as a Viz 'Lame to Fame' though!)

I sang on a number one hit single.

A Christmas number one, in fact!

In 1980, (before my voice broke, and it all went downhill).

My Mrs has been on East Enders amongst others

This has reminded me (and this one must surely win); our childminders husband makes toyboxes and furniture and stuff and he recently had a toybox on 'stenders.

I met Lennox Lewis in the Virgin lounge at Gatwick. Didn't know who he was, but guessed he was a boxer from his build. All the Virgin female attendants were falling over themselves to pamper him!

i'm not famous in the slightest, but used to live with (and still good friends with) a few people on prime time tv shows. The first rule of celebrity mates club and all that though...

If its minor league you want. I once saw black lace at a skeg caravan park.

If we're going [b]that[/b] low, I've been for a kebab with Black Lace.

My second cousin is Hugh Jackman.

Can't remember if I put that in my original post.

I know Geoff Waugh but you know I kinda don't like to brag about it. 🙄

Amazing how tenuous some of the claims to fame are in this thread. 'stood behind in a queue'. ' served them at a bar'
LOL.
Does anyone here do dry cleaning for D-list celebs?

Ooooh- another one- My old house was in Z cars once 😀

I used to teach guitar to footballer Lee Matthews...he was playing for Port Vale at the time. I have also done some band workshops with a band called White Eskimo....their lead singer at the time was Harry Styles.

I've been for a kebab with Black Lace.

Wow, you're...amazing...dude

🙂

I sat next to the drummer from Slade on a flight to Oslo.

The barman in a pub I frequent was the boy on the 'Guess Who?' box cover.

I bought some cycling shirts of some bloke called William Chippendale the 3rd, who was once on the radio talking about bikes and stuff. 😛

I've been on the same grouse shoot as Prince Charles and my dads mate was given a handkerchief from the queen after he cut himself on a fence

See the dopey looking girl with the hideous haircut at 17:05?

Yeah, that's my missus 😆

I'm actually Damon Hill.

The Fulham FC first team train at my new place of work. Not a huge football fan but they seem like nice enough blokes. Off to carrington tomorrow to deal with Man U

ive been on:

eastenders
Dr Who
casualty
waking the dead
judge john deed
silent witness
etc etc

i was always third cooper on the left.....

It's been bothering me for months - how many barrel makers do they need on these shows?

A mate of mine used to go out with EastEnders' Hannah Waterman's sister.
I once stood next to Ian Hislop at Wimbledon.

My missus' dads boss is best mates the man who has just married Harry Styles' mum. (It's a long shot I know but apparently some band he's in are big hitters in the music scene)

Speaking of Ian Hislop.... Evidence I gave in a trial for murder was (mis)quoted in an article claiming a miscarriage of justice in Private Eye.

I have it framed on my desk at work

I'm actually [s]Damon[/s] Benny Hill.

Ftfy

😆

I have an allotment just up from Rick Holden!
Oh and I was on Cheggers plays pop 🙂

I once stood behind Phil oakey in the co-op queue. He bought some crisps.

I was in Home And Away.

One of dexy's midnight runners lives just down the road from me.

My father in law is Tom Jones.

I'm going to be in Coronation St in the next week or two. A doctor hanging round in the background when some woman gets called in to be told she's dying or something. Might have been on already - I don't watch it.

Off to do a bit in DCI Banks next week. Oddly if I take my camera and my estate car, they will get paid almost as much as my generous £75.09 (less agents fee, VAT, travel from Midlands to Leeds, but this time, no car park).

My great uncle is a first cousin of Michael Caine. My grandfather gave driving lessons to Jan Francis (Penny from Just Good Friends) and David Bowie....

My father in law grew up with Michael caine and he has pictures of them together at Club Land.

Cool! Maybe he also knows my great uncle Alf...?

I used to work with a chap who was Bill Bailey's cousin.

And I chatted to Lucy Porter once in a bar in Edinburgh.

Oh, and Mrs Kenny's sister's partner's cousin is Eddie Mair.

And I was interviewed once on The Adventure Show on BBC2.

Jamj Alf who?I'll find out. Ask if he knows Derek Pearsall.

My best mates parents went on holiday so naturally we were obliged to throw a large party. We were all about 17, leathered and getting into the spirit of things when a band called Kula Shaker turned up, tour bus and all.

One friend puked all over the drivers seat of their bus and another did a shit in their sink! I shan't disclose my involvement for legal reasons but they didn't seem best pleased when they left.

smells a lot like bullshit in here..

If you are talking to me, I can assure you it is true. We went to college with the drummers brother and they were often in the neighborhood.

We've had John McCririck in our studio a few times, he's not as loud and obnoxious in real life which was a bit disappointing. He does actually call his wife Boobie though 😆

I've served coffee and pastries to Nicky Campbell and Feargal Sharkie when I was a runner for The Big Questions. And a few other "famous" people I didn't recognise.

That's about it for my claims to fame. Other than the back of me being on telly whenever they show a wide shot if I'm on an EVS shift 😆 Oh and I went to school and jammed with one of the guitarists from Heavens Basement.

I once got interviewed by BBC Southwest telly for a bit about the Navy. But they didn't show it

😳

I used to be baby-sat by Dave Stewart.

Don't need a sitter anymore, could possibly do with a cleaner.

Could you get Bryan Ferry to do it.?

Will ask! Will wait for the right time though - poor chaps just lost his wife...

Had a wee next to Charlie from casualty in his uniform once, they use to film at the college I went to and shared the canteen.

You had a wee in Charlie's uniform? Dirty.

Didn't somebody off here have his boots splashed by Roger Moore?
