Come on then, things have been a tad quiet last few days!

 

What's your best stories of yer claim to fame? Namedrop or met or just spotted will do!

 

Ok then, when I worked in a cafe in Cliftonville, Kent during the Summer as a teen-monster Norman Wisdom used to come down for some shows at the Winter Gardens in Margit. He used to pop into our cafe for tea and scones, top bloke!

 

When I was in the navy, would be about 1987 there was this program on called No Limits I think? Hosted by a very hot and young Jenny Powell and Tony Baker. They did a whole program on our frigate Ariadne while we were in Grimsby. Got a pic of me reporting the mess to her for evening rounds! She was well fit make no mistake! Nobody was interested in Tony just her...wonder why?

 

Got more but I'll leave it there for now! LOL

 

Oh my mate, he was a life guard at the main swimming pool in Sheffield years ago. Anyway, Sharon Davies was at the pool for some promotion or summat, so me mate shagged her! LMAO Good effort! No bullshite either, gods honest that is! Top banana!

I know Rod Stewart's (older) sister.

She lives down the road from my mum. Rod drove his Lamborghini Countach past my mum's house to turn around, many moons ago.....

Jenny Powell - remember the programme and remeber the fantasies.!!!

Can remeber where I have seen her recently but right dog!

Got Rivaldo's autograph when saw him in the Nou camp after training! Well lucky!

 

Well its that time of day when I get to drive my Z home - except the road is clutterd with morons and loons who drive at 10 mph...Sigh.

My 15 minutes.

 

Held three south african records in swimming.

Was a sprinbok swimmer for two years.

Was almost run over by posh spice

 

My claim to fame is.........

 

...I am related to Dennis Waterman, he of 'Minder' fame!

 

 

I don't think I have met anyone of 'real' fame.

 

Although there was one girl I was seeing ages ago, Debbie her name is, she was on Page 3, On Jim Davidson's Generation game as one of them model types and her pic was in MaxPower last month (pic was middle pages, six girls washing a 'Ka', she was on left in middle)

 

No doubt she won't remember me after 8 or something years, guess I'll just be another notch on her bed post....(sigh)

 

 

Matty.

Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

My dad beat Bernie Clifton (the prick with the ostrich) in a boxing match at school.

 

Oh, and my best mate, Lizzy, was on the Villa last week, copping off with everything that moved... poor blokes.

I couldn't possibly name drop but I've cooked and meet a few world leaders, sports stars, footy teams, F1 Drivers, Boxers, I don't do the film or pop star bits as there all up themselves

You've cooked a few world stars? Did the punters know they were getting cooked star?

 

No claim to fame from me though. dont have any!

Went to school with half of Spandau Ballet and er ... that's about it I think.

 

Oh yeah, got nicked by Chief plod of Hertfordshire doing 110 on the A1 !

 

Matey from the Prodigy used to drive his Viper and F50 past my house, not seen him for a while though.

 

Have met Oscar winning (or nominated?) Barrinton Phelong (something like that), who writes the music for films and stuff like Inspector Morse, because he drinks in our village pub.

 

Have visited the house of a certain Mr Odell in Totteridge - he used to own Matchbox toys.

 

Starting to get pretty weak now ....

 

Sold a newspaper to Michael Hesseltine on the eve of the Royal Wedding (bloody years ago!)

 

That's it.

 

 

PS. Doesn't Jenny Powell do Wheel of Fortune ?

Got overtaken by Johnny Herbert at Buckmore Park on a practice day.

 

Have eaten in Billy Connolly's curry house in Glasgow (can't remember the name of the place but it's named after a huge diamond).

 

Stayed in the same hotel as Boyzone in Belfast.

 

My sister's mate had her hair cut by the same hairdresser as George Michael about 10 years ago.

 

Banked a premium to Elton John's pension plan.

 

A mate of mine (Leigh for those who know him)has cleaned the carpets of an ex F1 driver but I can't remember which and he gave him some old golf balls and Leigh then gave me some of them. But I'm crap at golf so I've lost them all.

 

I think I may be accused of scraping the barrel now so I'll stop.

 

Dave

 

You lot really do scrape the barrel don't you

 

Well I've had Louise Nurding make a brew for me while I installed her TV and stuff. She is very short - just the right height in fact to...... erm no, I won't go there

 

Have also chatted with Mr Redknap for about 2 hours and similar with the likes of Jason McAteer (or however you spell it ) plus Chris Sutton and that other bloke... erm what's his name..... oh yeah Michael Owen

 

The reason I've managed this is because I used to install Bang & Oulefson Audio/Visual equipment for a living - this stuff is the rich peoples toys....

 

There's many more but I think I've made my point - Louise was BY FAR the best

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Maybe only of interest to Trekkers, but when I was a customer tech support monkey (at the same games company I'm now a programmer for) I got emailed by Rick Berman, executive producer and general head-honcho-type of ST:TNG and lots of the new Trek stuff.

 

As I recall, he wanted help with his Mac copy of one of our helicopter sims (!)

 

Raz

 

Oh man, you guys arent in the same league.

 

OK, I've met most of the F1 drivers.

Almost been run over by Jackie Stuart...twice in a day!

When I was living in the USA, I lived 2 doors away from Eddie Murphy.

I met Samuel L Jackson in McDonalds the other day.

I have met Claudia Schiffer 3 times.

At last, names worth mentioning.. not poncey footballers...

I once bought a Kebab off a bloke that looked just like Usama Bin Laden.

Tasted like shite!

Good kebab then

I played a round of golf with Tiger Woods at a charity thing, I went out on the piss with Eddie Irvine and the Ferrari F1 team in Cork a few years back, had some food and a few drinks with Michael Jordan (I'm taller, I was dead chuffed ). Met the Eagles back stage at their Irish concert this year, I refused Oasis from a nightclub I was running because they were too scruffy ( I got in the papers here for that, I don't like them anyway.)

And my claim to fame? I had lunch in Dublin a few months ago with a friend of mine and Bono from U2, the topic of conversation was one of Bonos favorite cars, his white 1992 300zx twin turbo!!!

 

Tell me you're joking Brian!

You had lunch with Bonio and it was two months ago, and his fave car with his 56,435,545 dollars to spend was a 300zxTT.

Hehe thats a cracker, was 'The Edge' there?

And if he was did he mention that tenner he owes me.. the sly old dog

Well I am actually the legendary comedian Paul Hogan, so fuckoff! Oh yeah, and I've shagged Louise and Jenny Powell at the same time in a threesome filmed by Francis Ford Coppola whilst Marly (Marlon Brando to you lot) read poetry in a dark and mysterious corner. Of course, much to my satisfaction, we had many takes and ran criminally over budget.

hehe yeah and I supplied all the PCP and Speedballs for Dennis Hopper on set. Was obviously too fooked to engage in any shenanegans with Timsters brother. It was just me and mad Hopper grinning wildly whilst Coppola tried to blag the Hueys from the Phillipino government and fucking Martin Sheen having major connories all over the place.

And Robert Duvall cant surf to save his life.

I've snogged a TV star!!

'Tricia Penrose (Gina - from 'Heartbeat')

I was 16 & she was 14, it was at a housewarming party.

I bumped into her a couple of years ago & she still remembered me- whoah! I must have been good

 

Oh I also fucked up a 'Top Gear' filming session at the 1993(?) motor show- I walked right between Quentin Willson & the camera without realising
