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.

In no particular order..
I once had a half hour conversation with Maxim Reality from the Prodigy round a mates house. the funny part of it was I didn't recognise him (despite being a fan) until he had left and my mate told me who he was. I later went on to buy an Akai MPC drum machine from him.

I used to sit next to the girl who played Chrissy Mannering in Grange Hill (I think her real name was Sonia Kearns) in English on the few times she turned up to 'real' school. I think we even talked to each other once.

My mum used to work for Gerry Anderson of 'Thunderbirds' fame

My Nan used to make riding outfits for Joan Collins

Boy George played one of a very limited run of a vinyl track I made in 1999 on Galaxy FM. I have still to see the royalties cheque.

Kathy Burke 'gave me evils' while I was waiting for a cash machine in Camden once - I was only staring into space (as you do) - why would you want to stare at Kathy Burke?

I used to work in a games shop in Southgate, where Jon Ritman (Match Day/Head over Heels fame) was a regular (very nice bloke) as were Martin Shaw of the Professionals and some 80's cricketer who's name escapes me now..

My dad had some of the 70's period Tottenham football team round to watch some porn on his projector after the pub once.

Mark Lamarr bought my sister a pint of cider at the Camden Palais once.

I danced with Martine McCutcheon of Eastenders/Yoghurt fame at some basement party in east London once, she was very 'refreshed' to say the least..

Shit enough for you?

EDIT: I had a pint with Emily Lloyd-Pack a year or so back as well... A friend fell out of her ground floor window (into the basement though!) window putting up some blinds for her shortly after.
