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.

'Do you know who I am?' pearoast
Pearoast, but he's been in the news, so here goes:

I went to a meeting at Fortress Wapping a few years back (not with Sun/NOTW though).

While waiting in the Portakabin/security hut you have to go through to get into the complex, KM strolls in - this was after he'd left - and says he has a meeting with Rebekah Brooks (still Wade at the time) who was Sun editor back then.

Security guard - whose card KM had probably already marked, on account of his colour - says, politely, "Who can I say it is?"

Well, fucking hell, did the shit hit the fan. I'd never ever actually heard someone use the "Do you know who I am?" line before. And even when he then said, very slowly "Kel-vin Mac-Ken-zie," the security guard still looked at him blankly. KM was not a happy bunny. In fact, he was going rather purple. Eventually he got let through, and had to wear a visitor badge like everyone else.

Priceless.

BTW this is not my shit claim to fame - it was KM claiming the fame, but it didn't mean shit to the security guard ;o)

I'd wager the guard recognized him, and was just spinning him up.

Do you know who you are?
Kirk Douglas tells a story about the time he was driving and he picked up a hitch hiker. It was a sailor going home on leave. He said this guy kept looking at him as if to say "Gee you look kinda familiar" then all at once he burst out "Hey, do you know who you are?"
