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

I was the last Serviceman to travel down the Berlin Corridor before it turned 'Red' (closed off to military personnel) as The Wall was literally coming down.

Best weekend of my life!

My sister once served Colin Firth in a wine shop in Chiswick and said he was charm personified.

Five minutes to go 2-2 Northward v Walton.....local football league.
I passed the ball out wide to "Bunt" Davies, he beat the full back, slipped it inside to "Ike" Clarke who flicked it on to "Rumba" Flowers, who put me through to goal.
One to one on with the goalkeeper..........I blazed it over the bar.

Not mine exactly, but, husband sold a Steinway upright to Jamie Hince as a birthday gift for his then wife (Kate Moss). My husband also owns (he is a piano dealer) a Steinway grand piano which was taken off RMS Britannic, prior to her conversion to a hospital ship, and Ivor Novello's piano that was in the Theatre Royal in the 50's. Both of which are in our garage.

I had a drink with Peter Beardsley in Disneyland.

I met Niall Quinn a few years ago and had a chat with him. Really, really nice man.

Was once crossing a very busy road in Liverpool when I realised the man stood next to me was Louis Emeric who at the time was playing Mick in Brookside which was very popular. He turned and smiled at me and I went weak at the knees! He is now playing Liz's love interest in Corrie ...
