Anybody Famous For Anything?

I once met Jimmy Tarbuck in Lairg moments after he'd stuffed his 8 series BMW into a ditch, he was looking for a payphone in the days before mobiles.
I've danced with Angela Griffin in Angels in Burnley, Sammy Winward in Back to Basics in Leeds, bought Adele Silva a couple of drinks and shared my coat with Sonique.
B-list tastic
Oh yeah, I was on the front page of our local rag with a giant indian python around my shoulders, the animal man at school brought it in.

I've met Biker and John Fenna at the same time twice. Barely survived.
I've camped with the pair of them... never been the same since :werd:
Though John and I did have a great time staggering back to our camp 3:30 in the morning, spears in hand after Drew's wake
My claim to fame been out on the sesh with Hywel Bennet, actor, and John Cooper Clarke poet, met the members of the incredible string band Rose lives not far from me and still remembers, Maggie Bell used to sing with my mum around Glasgow and lanarkshire area, my late elder brothers God father was jimmy johnstone played for glasgow celtic and my half brothers dad was jim ferguson who played for St Mirren I also met the Queen Mum at Shugborough Hall exchanged a few word put her onto a good dentist.
Some little gems there, and memories stirred, taking about the lash! I was called to reception at Torquay Casino, one night , to discreetly sign in , as a guest Brian Conley ("It's only a puppet") he was very grateful, and spent the whole night on the beer and gambling with him, a really nice and very funny guy, i won't tell you how much he lost! But i had to give him a lift back to the Imperial Hotel, where he was staying, as he had done his crunch.
A very interesting addition to this tale, later.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
My Mrs best mate is Brian Conly's seamstress. She makes all his stage clothes (she does some stuff for the BBC as well such as DR WHO). She says he is lovely but has issues. He was very nice to our boy though and got us a panto VIP seats and stage visit and wrote him a nice little note with signed photo.
I can't say I have a claim to fame at all sadly. I have been near famous people and spoken to them a few times and have assisted the secret service with security for a couple of Dukes and a Queen.
