tillylamp 1,830 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi people Has anyone got any claims to fame or a 15minutes of fame? Mine is I met Ray Winston at a bar in a hotel. Very nice bloke. Also met sgt Cryer from the TV series The Bill at Brand Hatch British Superbikes. Steve Plater, Steve Parish, Neil McKenzie (all bike riders). Also met Barry Sheene, my opinion being the best r.i.p. Also Bob Mortimer, Vic Reeves (shooting stars) Julian Clarey, Paul O'Grady, Paul McCartney, Johanna Lumley, Jan Francis all live local to me. Sometimes see Vic and Paul in Tescos or at local fetes. Not that many people will care but Timmy Mallett stayed at my house whilst he was getting married in our local village. I took him his breakfast in the morning and yes he is as mad as a hatter on screen as well as off. Over to you guys TL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
