Shit Claims to Fame II
My car was in the Specsavers advert with the old lady and the loud stereo. Not me. My stupid blue Nissan Micra. Tell us about your brushes with fame.

I have a few clashes with the celebs
Back in 2008 I was flying from New York to LAX with United Airline and had the pleasure of sitting next to Mel B from the Spice Girls with her lanky bald-headed husband of the time and their two kids. She was wheeled onto the plane in a wheel chair and then jumped up and found her seats.
It was on a bowing 747 so we had the four seats that faced the middle partition right at the front of the plane, She said "Y'right?" I said "Yes" and that was it. He kids screamed for about 8 hours and then she got wheeled off again with a blanket over her head to protect her from the masses of paparazzi (none) that were waiting for her when we landed.
More recently I was doing yoga in my local gym here in New Zealand when Orlando Bloom taking a break from filming The Hobbit decided to join the class, He took a mat and me being the only other guy in the room he sided up to me said hello and i spent the rest of the class trying not to look him in the eye when doing my "downward dog" - Nice chap that Orlando.
Others from the past while i think about it; Will Young asked me if i fancied going for a drink with him in the bar of the hotel i was working in, I politely declined. On that same tour that little stuttering prick Gareth Gates spat on my reception desk because I wouldnt unlock the mini bar in his room -he was under-age at the time.
Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), Jake the Snake Roberts, Bobby Charlton, and Busted all graced my reception desk while working on a reception desk at a hotel in Birmingham.
Jaqueline Gold MD of Ann Summers played with my bow tie once (I was a waiter at one of their "conferences"
That's all I can think of!
