sophiesofa Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My great great great great grandfather was the last man to be publicly hung in britain, it's in the guiness book of world records. Michael Barrett, he blew up a prison to get his friend out or something.Some distant uncle or something took that black and white photo/poster of a woman bending over on a tennis court that everyone seems to have hanging in their toilets. Something like the best selling poster ever but he only got a one off fee of about ?20 i think.I sold Charlie Dimmok value pencils when I worked in Woolworths many moons ago.

Mick Mac Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I stood beside Tiger Woods at Heathrow airport in 1995 when he was an amateur and had just finished playing in the Open in St Andrews earlier that day and must have flown down from Scotland to Heathrow on route home - he appeared to be on his own, collecting his own baggage and clubs from the baggage belt. 2 years later as a professional he won the Masters and is now probably one of the most famous faces on the planet. Not many people recognised him - only one person asked him for an autograph.

HonaloochieB Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I once fell into conversation with Johnny Rotten in the Speakeasy, I can't remember what we started arguing about, but it got heated and I referred to him as 'c*nt in a big hat'.Those were the tequila days.

Jah Lush Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I got chatting to Robbie Williams backstage at an Oasis gig just after he'd split from Take That. He'd come over and bummed a cigarette off me. Seemed like a nice bloke before his ego exploded.I've met Lemmy a few times and shared a bottle of Jack Daniels and a spliff with him in his hotel room. He doesn't really do weed. Speed and JD is his thing and I've never seen so much in my entire life.I used to know Sarah Cracknell from Saint Etienne quite well and I've been back to her mum's house for drinks in Windsor after a gig one night.I'm sure there are other things but I don't want to bore you.

jaybee82 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Oh and I met Super Hans from Peep Show in the Islington Academy, miserable bugger....(Matt King?!). Dont think he much liked me referring to him as Super Hans mind you.

*Bob* Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Naturally, naturally. I was shorn, all set and fully equipped for my weekend with George, but alas, fate did not draw us together again.And the shop wouldn't give me a refund for the harness either.

TillieTrotter Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Gazza asked me out once when I met him in Covent Garden a good few moons ago. I said no.I smoked a joint with Howard Marks at the Groucho Club.My daughter knocked Sir Bobby Geldof's daughter out of the Inter schools talent show. I gave him a smug wink and he gave me a dirty look.Many more.

Jah Lush Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I used to play football with and against Max Clifford and knew him fairly well. One day when playing against him a cross came over and as he challenged me to the ball from which I scored with a header he landed badly and broke his knee.

KalamityKel Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I got ran over by a camel.(darn me link didnt work!)No really I did!Her keepers were trying to get her to go back to her trailer but she was having none of it and decided I looked a nicer person to hang out with and headed right at me running over my lanterns and squashing me against the wall.What was I doing in the presence of a camel? It's a long story! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6184-claim-to-fame/page/3/#findComment-198910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
