Lame to Fame

edited August 2010 in General Charlton
This may have been done before but thought I'd get one up and running.

Basically, it should be as lame as possible, for example, your uncle employs Eddie Youds' gardener. Or you were standing behind x from big brother 3. As lame as possible that could claim some fame

Mine to start with - I once played football with Clive Mendoncas son at Hayden 10 or so years ago. Began with J his name, can't remember for the life of me what it was!

  • Back in the 80s when I worked at Victoria railway station, Princess Di's mother, Lady Shand Kydd, came into my office.

    Arrogant, aggressive pig of a woman. She was doing the celebrity opening of the London Tourist Board Office, next door.
  • I played darts with Tommy Cooper.

    I once played football against Kris Akabusi, Roger Black and Cyril Regis.

    My missus is mates with Jamie Stuarts missus.
  • Dominic Littlewood (Beat the Burglar) once threatened to "knock my block off".
  • I played the chap who plays Micky Pearce (Only Fools and Horses) at darts in the Rose, Dartford. I beat him - but then again he was so trollied Stevie Wonder would have given him a good game.
  • I was on Going Live on my 11th birthday and asked Nick Berry (Wicksy from Eastenders) a question.

    I went to the same school as former England rugby captain Martin Corry - he was in upper sixth form when I was in first year.

    I once served Olympic medalist Kelly Holmes whilst working on the checkouts in Sainsburys as a youth. She didn't buy anything remotely interesting.

    Whilst running a pub in North London a few years ago, my most famous customers were Ronnie Ferreira from Eastenders and Craig Charles of Red Dwarf.

    Watched Martin Pringle playing pool in The Sports Cafe on Haymarket.

    Eastenders again - the bird who played Martin Fowler's stalker in 'stenders a few years back recently did some temping in my office, subsidising her income whilst attending various auditions. She was a bit annoying, a real thespian type - she was so theatrical about everything that if she offered me a cup of tea I felt like I was on stage.

    I work on Kingsway, quite near Covent Garden, so I seem to see quite a lot of celebrity's knocking around. If it's on my lunchbreak I usually follow them round for a bit, not sure why, possibly in the hope that they'll do something scandalous which I can photograph and flog to the News of the World. I once followed Rowan Atkinson for about 15 minutes, during which time he gave serious consideration to buying a shirt in TM Lewin but ultimately decided against it.
  • Regularly see a mash-up Mickey Pearce drinking in and around New Cross.
  • Jeremy Clarkson once bought toothpaste and Toothbrush from me when i worked in a service station about 12 years ago.
