Thread: Naff and Tenuous Claims to Fame (ARRSE Steal) .....

Just for fun (and to lighten the mood) what are your naffest and most tenuous to fame?

I once had to bump start Will Carling's car.
I once stood on Laurence Dallaglio's right foot in walking boots.
My cousin went out with one of Depeche Mode.
When I was little, Robert Mitchum used to stay with my next door neighbour whenever he was in the UK.
I once won a competition in Jackie Magazine, I won a plush Felix the Cat.
I sent a picture into Saturday Superstore and it appeared on screen.
My photo was in the "style book" at Trevor Sorbie in Covent Garden in 1987. I was 17 with waist length hair and they spiral permed it all for £85. You could only see the back of my head.

I ate all the blue smarties that Johnny Rotten didn't eat before he did a radio interview.
I'm in the Muse HAARP DVD.
I once told Alastair Campbell that his football team was shite. To his face.
I have a Blockbusters dictionary...

I used to live round the corner from Nicky Butt and he and his shite of a brother (amongst others) knocked on my door looking for my brother so they could fight with him.

I was introduced to perform at the Apollo in Manchester by Bellamy (the ginger one) from Heartbeat

I gave Dean Gaffney head (remb the spotty dude from eastenders)
Tripped Jodie Marsh up, totally by accident on an Easy Jet flight to cyprus
Debbie Magee nearly ran me down in my village, I slammed my hands down on her car and flipped my psycho on her
Usually drink with Freddie Star's son in Henley
Sang with Rolf Harris when I was 9 at a school christmas concert









not that I ever admit that but I'm anonymous...................





Hang on

Have stood Adam Faith up for dinner - (youngsters ask your mum or granny!)
Mark Blundell (x formula 1 driver) has touched my boobs and was complimentary!
Not one that I am that proud of...... I have been driven to work the next morning by Touring Car Champion and Car show presenter, and I didn't know that he was currently dating sporty spice!!!! -it was a long time ago!!!!
Been on the front cover of Horse and Hound too- no, i wasn't the horse!

I am sure that there are some worse ones that I have tried to blank out of my mind!

I had a lil too much to drink, I did know him for a fair while by that point, not a proud moment though, i must say lol

Dean Gaffney! Haha!!!

I appeared in a local newspaper once with one of my friends at a nightclub meeting Luke from old school Hollyoaks and told them all about the great night we were having and we had our photograph taken too. If only they knew we were 16 at the time.

I am hoping to bump into Calvin Harris sometime real soon and I mean bump into him, knock him over and his pants fall down...

I chinked glasses with Lawrence Dallaglio in Walkabout in Cardiff after a Lions game (think they played the Baa Baas, can't remember though!)
I told off Simon Pegg when I was waitressing for a friend at a wedding he attended (his wife is SO lovely)
The Foo Fighters used to practise at the house of one of my mates from school
I gave flowers to some posh Princess type person but I can't remember what her name is!
Robbie Williams went to look at my Granny's house in Stoke-on-Trent when it was on the market, she didn't have a clue who he was lol
Oh and I got my Blue Peter badge

I used to organise property portfolio for Jack Davenport. He took me for a meal but brought his girlfriend
My dad was the plasterer for Delia Smith.
My mum told Charlie Higson to grow up, she was his housekeeper when he was at Uni.

I've been to a wedding where Chris Moyles was also a guest, he was good fun and cannot drink shots
I licked John Barnes nipples in an Irishbar in Nicosia.

John Barnes nipple licking is the out-right winner so far, giving Dean Gaffney head is a close second and third is currently eating Johnny Rotten smarties.

But it is all still to play for......

I need to get out more!

I went to school with a page 3 model. I'm very disturbed to relate I discovered her new job whilst glancing though Mr Crafty's FHM! (This is some years ago mind you)
My English A Level exam paper became the exam board's 'model answer' (I got 100%). It was so exiting at the time, obviously age has taught me it means absolutely nothing. And I'm still dyslexic (obviously! alas I have yet to grow out of it) so my spelling tends to leave most people with the impression I'm thick as a brick!

Oh, I also have a Blue Peter badge, but only the standard blue one, not one of the posh ones.

And I won the 60 yard dash at the school sports day when I was 7.

Alexander Armstrong touched my arm at a posh Cavalry party at Kensington Barracks...was too shy to speak to him though!
All my others involve criminals...parents are Prison Officers in a high risk place, I get all the goss before it gets in the papers the next day!

I'm holding out for the Queen being at my OH's passing out parade in summer...not that she's likely to talk to a civvie like me!!!

Matt from busted stole my Leather Jacket at a house party and it took me 2 months to get it back!
I've taken a few celebs around a certain theme park before- but I can't say too much about that sorry!! but you should hear some people scream!
Oh and I have two blue peter badges- one normal one and one silver one which I got for writing an episode as part of a project when I was 13.
When I was 10 I sang a solo in an opera at the Royal Festival Hall and got a standing ovation- check me out!!

cliff parisi (minty from eastenders) was my babysitter, i once helped david essex hoover up after a cast christmas party and boy george threw marillions coat at me during an after hours club i was working at.
do i get extra points for the fact that it was a HUGE fur coat and knocked me on my arse ?

Jo wins hands down (thanks so much for sharing Jo - I'm still laughing). My paltry contribution:

I got leathered at an extremely posh dinner and told Hannah Gordon, to whom I was being formally introduced, that: 'my Dad spent much of the 70's longing to get inside your knickers'. She was utterly gracious which made it much, much worse.

My Mum's cousin is one of 'The Flying Pickets'...ask your Granny!

if i stayed on the gaspedal, Gordon fecking Ramsay would be history
i shared an airplane with Paul Scholes
And i called the King of Jordan mate.......certain people were close to a heartattack

I aim to please.....................well I did back then

Josephine! I just spat tea all over my keyboard!!!!!!!!
