This is a question 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.

Celebrity pint purchases and Dave from Chas n' Dave says "Fuck".
Back in 1999 my then missus and I went to see Rob Newman's gig at the Art's Centre in Colchester. The great man had apparently been through the mill after his acrimonious split with David Baddiel, so the audience was full of good vibes for the show.

Afterward, I went to grab a drink at the bar where he was sat nursing a pint. He asked me if I'd enjoyed the gig and genuinely seemed both surprised and delighted when I told him that I'd had a brilliant evening. So he bought my round for me. Top chap.

My brother had an identical thing happen some fifteen years before when Feargul Sharkey bought him a pint after being on Top Of The Pops.

Oh and Chas 'n Dave turned up to officially open a pub I used to work in. Dave managed to smack his head on a low beam whilst pouring a pint and I heard him say "Oh fuck!".

I've dined out on these for years...
