Tenuous links to Claims to Fame

[curiosity]

For a while at work now we've had some fun with really tenuous links we have to famous people e.g Sid Vicious Spat on me, or Pete Beale from Eastenders asked me for directions, Frankie Vali stood behind my sister in the chip shop queue, during which some people come up with some great & real Claims to fame (someone had dinner with Churchill and famous generals as a boy) We do laugh more at the tenuous though. Does anyone have any?

Walking down the path to High Force on Tuesday, Bobby Robson passed on his way back up, I asked the people with me (totally oblivious) wasn't that the ex Newcastle manager bloke? the one with the irritating voice ? still totally oblivious. When I went for an icecream the lad selling them was over the moon, "Been waiting for Bobby Robsons autograph for years" he says "then he turns up asking for a 99" I knew I wasn't wrong!

Denholm Elliott ate Apple pie in my house when he came to collect his 2 children (we had been looking after them).  Chatted in a local bar to Terry-Thomas about feuding with siblings (apparently he didn't get on with his big bro).  Was asked to be a nanny to Roger Taylor's (Queen) kids - said no.

I had to explain to Michael Palin that the door he was trying to use to get into W.H.Smith in Paddington station was locked and he should use the one around the corner.He replied 'Oh stupid me',and said thank you. He seemed a very nice man.

Steve Wright stood on my leg at a Radio 1 roadshow many summers ago.

Johnny Herbert slipped on some mud at Goodwood FoS and supported himself on my shoulder.

Fran Healy stepped over my legs at Glastonbury and Julia Sawahla was stood next to me at the Tiny Tea Tent.

I nearly knocked Rick Parfett from Status Quo on his arse whilst running to the Ferrari Stand at the London Motor Show in the early 1980,s

I said sorry and he said no worries mate.He was with some page 3 type bird too :)

Its funny now but I was more interested in the Testerrossa than him at the time so I did not even get an autograph.Nice guy anyway.

Yes, I went out for a meal and Gordon Ramsay was sat on the next table about 1metre away from me and was talking to us
