What’S Your Claim To Fame?

[vernonk]

What’s your claim to fame? I don’t just mean getting a selfie with a celeb, or their autograph. Maybe you lived next door to a star, dated one, cut their hair, served them in a shop, were an extra in a movie or pop video, inspired a hit song....you get the picture

Wish I'd seen Kylies @rse #I should be so lucky#

E17, the pop group lived opposite me at the height of their fame. Very disappointed as there were no rock style living going on!!!!! Very sedate.

Years ago when actor Ian Holm and his then wife actress Penelope Wilton crashed their car outside my house I asked them in while they waited for a recovery truck, didn't know either of them till was later told by my neighbour who also helped.

Oh dear! I had no idea I was in such connected company.
Sadly, I have never done anything noteworthy or known or associated with anybody famous enough for me to bask in their reflected glory.
Pangs of jealousy. X

oh Hughie Green bought me a gin and tonic !

[1ozzy]

Don't feel left out Theland.

I don't have a "claim to fame" either.

Sob sob.

How about you and I crack a can of lager together and drink it with our socks on one day,,,,Oooh decadent or what.

[Buenchico]

Oh, come on, Minty! Being bought a drink by Hughie Green hardly counts, does it? He was one of the countries most famous womanisers, so he probably bought a drink for every woman he met!

Dining with Gness and Sunny Dave though (and managing to stay sober enough in their company to actually remember it afterwards as well) . . . now that's REAL fame!
