Just remembered after that footballer one, I used to be next door neighbours with Phil Parkinson who used to play for Bury FC but more recently was/is (I dunno!) the manager of Bradford FC who got, I believe, quite far in the FA cup last year.
He used to call me 'big man' when I was 5 or 6 and made me the mascot for Bury vs Aldershot once. I don't remember anything of the game other than 'scoring' a penalty before the game started and asking my dad if it was 'time to go home, I'm tired' when the game started!

I actually forgot (this is as tenuous as I can get) my cousin lived next to door to ray parlours parents and when his wife booted him out he stayed there. I went round there one day and stuck my head over the fence as you do and shared a few words. He offered me a signed picture but as a west ham fan I declined
We never spoke after that. Not because of the picture but he was famous and I was a random bloke.

I once had to hitch-hike to London (army training initiative thing, don't ask) and got a lift in a crappy car from a guy who said he was releasing a song, he made us listen to the tape, song was awful, months later I heard it again on the radio, it was Stephen Tin Tin Duffy and 'Kiss Me With Your Mouth'.
That guy married a girl I was friends with at school, used to sit next to her in Chemistry. She went on to be in the backing band for Robbie Williams (SD went on to write with RW, which is possibly how he met my friend). She's also the person behind my username (my name isn't Claire).Lets see.
Nearly ran over Joe Brown in a car park. (No he didn't have his guitar)
Bumped into George Cole as he was walking from a Victoria Wine shop... And I accidentally stepped on his foot.
Got drunk at the same table as Andrew Ridgely as he spent the night slagging off George Michael.
Got barged out the way by Sean Bean as I was walking from a newsagents. (He's a short asse)
Got a feel of Falicity Kendals bum in a restaurant as she stood from her table.
The last one was by far the nicest, though I get the feeling the first may well have been more satisfying had I actually achieved it.

When I was a small child my mother was driving us along a road in a village in Northants called Weedon, when she got crashed into. On exchanging details it turned out that the person in the other car was Burt Weedon, a famous guitarist of the 50's and 60's. He didn't live there.
I got married in Dodmoor House in Weedon and on my wedding day David Essex was seen in the Travelodge in Weedon getting angry with a vending machine. One wedding guest couldn't wait to tell me minutes before my wife walked down the aisle. Thanks!The other day my girlfriend reportedly got a Pawn Star to pass her a box of Microchips that were out of reach in Asda.
The fact that we are talking Pawn Stars UK that is based just up the road on Deeside Industrial Estate, and not the more glamorous Las Vegas version, hopefully makes the link to fame more tenuous.
