Reading earlier that the twins from Matrix 2 have trained with PaulC.........I was wondering what other people's claims to fame are???

 

Come on, everyone has something..........like my brother's next door neighbour knows Rod Stewart or something like that........

 

I'll start it off;

 

My cousin is Simon Jordan and he owns Crystal Palace Football Club.

LOL it would take 6 pigs... :D:D (Snatch)

Another sinister one for me ...

 

My father-in-law to be is the cousin of Jeremy Bamber, the chappie that's doing life for killing his whole family in the infamous White House murders ... in fact he's sat in the same chair that I sit and have a cup of coffee in of a Sunday morning ... :eek:

 

And, at my Mother-in-law to be's wedding - he hid in the cupboard in her bedroom and jumped out at her when she went up to get changed .....

 

They said he was always a "bit" of an odd-ball ...

 

Christ, I hope it doesn't run in the family!!! :);)

my mum was the on-set nurse when they were filming flash gordon (no, not that one - i said "flash" not "flesh") she said she treated brian blessed for a burn from a special effect and he was a total baby about it!!!

Now my non-sinister CTF.

 

I gave a short "lecture" to Prince Andrew the Duke of York and his wife, Sarah Ferguson, (Furgy / Ginger Pub**), about the developement of Underwater Weapons - including the ones he was using against the Argies.

 

My son was assistant Physio for England at the England v USA Rugby Test Match, (womens rugby)

that's just reminded me of another one - my mum went to a royal garden party at buck' palace in the 70s and prince charles himself told her she was wearing a "very pretty dress" as he walked down the line shaking hands.

There is a sub-section of the club called 'Postwhores' that smw1 runs........I think I may be able to get you in.......:D

Funny, I was just thinking that!!! :D:D (he said, adding to his own post-count!! ;))

 

BTW, I liked your one about Brian Blessed .... don't take any notice of old Jimbo!!! ;)

I might have known you'd beat me to it James!!! :D

 

Must learn to type faster ..... now where does Stu keep that "lightning fast"???

I was out on the piss with Michael Jordan when he was playing golf over here.

Vince Vaughan came to my birthday party this year.

I was at a dinner with tiger woods.

I had lunch with Bono from U2 (who owned a white 300zx fact fans!).

I met the Eagles Backstage at a concert.

I sat next to Jack Nicholson at a Lakers game in the states (tickets cost us a few quid :) ).

i played blackjack with Puff Daddy in the Bellaggio in Vegas, and I Djed with John Digweed and Paul Okenfold.

I stayed in the same Hotel Suite that Bill Clinton had stayed in. (don't know if thats something I should be mentioning though :D

Ste, I've spent many a night in Manumission!

I remember one night/morning the sun was coming up and I'd been dancing all night and suddenly realised the only people left in the club were transvestites on stilts and midgets! :eek:

Anything goes at that place.

 

I made a quick exit through the fields down to the road, eating oranges of the trees on the way then nearly got run over staggering back to San Antonio :D

 

Those were the days!

Took me about 6 months to get back into work after that holiday.

just remembered a couple of other ones ;)

 

"Barry" from eastenders looked at my mates house when it was up for sale.

 

My brother in law had Buster Bloodvessle round his house for a party once

:D :p

Ok, I got one to top them all....

 

 

I own a 300zx :eek:

 

You can't get more famous than that !!!!

 

oh an another thing (note same post edited rather than start a new one).

 

I've posted 2000+ entries on this forum in the last 7 months and not one of them was just to up my post count. All have been justified LMAO !!!!!

Claim to fame

 

 

Went out a few times with Carol Thatcher, daughter of the Mrs Thatcher in the mid seventies when her mother was becoming the leader of the Tory party. She was studying law in Chichester at the time. Gave it up when her Mother hit the big time.

If I had played my cards right, I might have been famous. Wonder why she never married?

lol - that rings a few bells!

OK, scary one... and this is not only the winner but is truly scary...

 

Back in the late Eighties I lived in Inkpen near near Newbury, I used to have to be out on 'manoeuvres' late at night and on one occasion I was returning home via Kintbury... as I drove toward the Health Hydro... a slightly tubby guy in full Army battle dress jumped out in front of my Range Rover and stopped me... he stood in the middle of the road and was not budging... I stopped and to cut a long story short I gave him a lift, he wanted to go to the Inkpen/Hungerford junction 2 miles away... at the junction (he was crouching in the footwell) he looked up and asked if I would take him closer to Hungerford... after a moments pause I said... yeah OK... I thought he was just another fantasist so I humoured him... I dropped him off close to the John o'Gaunt school... as he crept out of my car he looked up at me and said 'Cheers mate...my friends call me Mikey'... a month or 2 later... this same man Shot 16 people dead in Hungerford... it was Michael Ryan and the flash of the 'replica pistol' I saw as he got out of my Range Rover was most likely real.

 

The absolute truth... now that does spook me occasionally... not much but just occasionally.

Not much? That would haunt me forever. You're obviously made of sterner stuff than me,

My dad beat Bernie Clifton in a boxing match when he was at school. Apparently Bernie was a piece of piss, it was the ostrich that was a bitch to put down.

There is NO cooler customer than a soarer driver! ;)

N.B. that isnt a dig at soarers or its owners, I think soarers fairly rock. :)

 

p.s. having to post disclaimers like that at the end of threads (so that people dont get offended as they easily do) really detracts from the mildly sarcastic undertones that the thread was meant to portray, almost rendering the reply pointless. *Almost* I said ;)

2. I used to work at the Royal Albert Hall so got to meet plenty of celebz. I knocked Jimmy Sommerville on his ass when he tried to walk through me in a corridoor and made me spill my coffee on my new leather jacket. Also met New Order, INXS, Lionel Richie.

 

That sounds a bit dodgy ! :eek:

 

 

Just thought of another :- My parents used to own the house that was built for Lady Chichester, Mother of Sir Francis Chichester, famous for sailing single handed around the world.

Helped Warrior of Gladiators fame with a heavy (130 pounds) dumbell last week - he works/trains in and owns (I think) the gym I train at. He is MASSIVE - he would dwarf even Macca I reckon.

Dont you get an incident report at CIP for using lbs instead of kgs? ;)

Shame on yoo!
