Minor claims to fame 12:26 - Mar 5 with 14432 viewsDubtractor

Inspired by a thread on bluesky, share your most trivial claim to fame.

Back in the early 00s, when DJing in Brighton, Chris Eubank parked up in his big lorry and insisted on carrying my record bag to the club for me.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

In the mid-90s I played bass guitar for a gospel choir who was invited to film “Ding Dong What’s That Song” for the Big Breakfast. Gaby Roslin and Mark Little were the presenters at the time, and Richard.E.Grant the main guest.

I fingered the blonde one in Hollyoaks once.

My uncle used to help organise the Orchestrelle concerts in the 90s - basically the Ipswich Proms in the Park - big orchestra in Christchurch Park.

There used to be a load of kids running around to help out, going to get the next act, getting drinks for people, that sort of thing. One young lad was very interested in how everything was staged and kept asking my uncle a load of questions - young ginger lad called Teddy Sheehan or something. No idea what happened to him.

As an aside, one year Stewart White from Look East was the host. He turned up to Christchurch Park and asked my uncle where his dressing room was.

"Well, you can use that if you like" says my uncle, pointing to a nearby chair.

haha!

My own:

I was once in the same room as the Queen Mother, (but didn't meet her - I had to make do with the Lord Mayor)

I once drank with Cass Pennant (Mrs Ullaa nearly got me knocked out for offering to buy him a drink - little ladies don't go the bar).

Will Young once shouldered my disabled father on grays Inn Road (but I still love Better Leave Right Now - quality tune)

Oh and my recent spotting of Daniel Graig and Rachel Wiese in Sea Palling arcade cum cafe (which I mentioned here)

Sorry to hog the theme, but back in the late 60's I worked at the Royal Hotel in Norwich which was opposite Anglia television. People like Peter Fenn, Miss Rosalyn (Romper Room) and Alan Smethurst the singing postman all came into the hotel. Along with football players from various clubs and Peter Pointer of Pointer tankers came in with guests on a Saturday night.

I held the door open in the Commons for Geoffrey Howe just after his resignation speech which was the tipping point which led to Mrs Thatcher standing down a week or so later.

I like to think I played a small part in her downfall.

How many fingers did the Queen Mother take?

(Of course I'm talking about gin, and also NOT making a Norfolk joke)








Did you finger the Lord Mayor?

....I sat next to David Beckham on a flight once.

He was really dull.

I asked him for an autograph, but he seemed extremely peed off when I explained I wanted Baby Spice's.

He didn't talk to me after that.

True story.

How was Cass?

Actually, I just remembered another one. I got into an excellent road rage incident with Herbie Hide in the early 90,s. Was cut up on the Norwich ring road by some tw4t driving a white car with a sh1te 'mural' of a boxer on the bonnet with the words Dancing Destroyer wrote on it in illuminous lettering.

I had no choice except to take this p1ss outta of his stupid car and explain what a tw4t he was. He didn't appreciate it and we had a 5 minute on and off argument amongst the Norfolk traffic.

I so coulda had him

Sadly, I've fingered far too few and was not lucky enough to get one up the Queen mum or Lord Mayor.
