I thought I'd open up a new thread specially for those of us who have met a celebrity and managed to get a pic. My claim to fame was taken last year at a local show where Stuart Pearce (footballer) and his wife were competing with their ponies. We (my co-judge and I) had chosen our champion and somebody suggested asking Stuart to present the cup. He agreed to do it and as we walked back over to the line-up my other judge called out 'Who is he? Is he a celebrity, then?' I don't think he heard. That's usually the sort of thing I come out with and put my foot in!!! Anyway, we had our pics. taken and I bought a copy specially for my son-in-law who has never believed me that Stuart and his family are often competing at our local shows. So - lets hear it. What is your claim to fame?   |

I was on a TV prgramme years ago which was filmed while me and a friend were on a Club 18-30 holiday (i told you it was many moons ago) After a week of filming you just got used to the cameras being around. About a year later the programme was screened so we had a telly rigged up at work and all the lads came in too watch. To my horror every time I was featured in a clip the camera just zoomed in at my boobs - I was eighteen so quite happy topless I could have died on the spot.
About three years later I was in the pub when a bloke said " you look different with your clothes on - different from the afternoon" It turned out they were running a repeat of the programme.
If they focused on the old boobs now they would need a very wide lens camera !!!!!!!

OMG skint - how embarrasing! You're just going to have to hope they don't do a 'where are they now?' in about twenty years time. They'd be sure to want an 'after' picture!!!

I've just remembered another claim to fame - I was busy checking off the entries as they came in the ring for the Fancy dress class at our show this year. This chap went in leading a pony who I thought looked familiar (the chap not the pony). Looked on my list and it was Rory Bremner!!! He's a lot taller than I would have expected him to be, but still pretty good looking.

Wow - Seahorse - what do you mean - not very good!!!  BTW - where's your shop? I don't know whether I dreamt it, but I thought I heard that they live somewhere near me here in Oxfordshire. Is this true or did I dream it?? Oh, yes, and another BTW - Jason Donovan APPARENTLY lives near here as well. |

My cousin - lived in the flat below Donald Neilson the guy who murdered load and chopped them up. My cousin was the one who phoned dynarod for the blocked drains as he had flushed loads of chopped up bits down the toilet. and he held the torch for the dynarod man when he went down the manhole and found loads of assorted bits of people. The horrible thing was that my cousin and his girlfriend were questioned for 48 hours themselves and once released they had no home as the police closed the entire block of flats. they were put up in a very luxury hotel for 6 months though

Halfpass - I started reading 'poopickers' post (I never go to the name first, don't know why) about the diddy-men and thought it must be from you!!!! lol!!!! This is great - lets hear some more!!! I must admit that living here in the 'racing country' has some great advantages. I've had many an evening in Luke Harvey's pub with Mick Fitzgerald, Jim Culloty, Carl LLewelyn, Timmy Murphy and AP McCoy. Cheltenham Gold Cup Night was always pretty amazing - Jim C. and Jackie Jenner really knew how to celebrate!!! I have also spent a week over at AP's parents place in Ireland which was lovely. They are so hospitable over there. They really know how to celebrate!!!!   Tony McCoy and his fiancee Chanelle  The local jockeys always give up one of their few days off, Good friday, to support the Lambourn Open Day. Mick Fitzgerald aboard a camel   They don't look very comfortable but it is pretty hilarious!!!! |
