jk136 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I introduced a lad called Aston Croall to rugby when I was at school. He since played for Saracens and now a regular member of the Harliquins first team. He also represents England 'A'. Still good friend with him now, his facebook friends are Ugo Monye and Nick Easter Ive also trained with Lawrence Dellagio, Alex King and Josh Lewsey, which was covered on my local news program. I also built a robot for Robot Wars whilst doing my apprenticeship.

Tannhauser Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Some fantastic claims to fame here. I'm particularly impressed by: I saw Terry Nuttkins across a carpark in Southmolton Jimmy Crankys husband (Ian something) Pushed passed me in Torquey My own modest claims: 1) I went out with Sheena Easton's cousin 2) Until recently, I lived next door to Charles Ingram's (the coughing 'Who wants to be a millionaire?' guy) dad.

AndrewOW Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm Branners. I've not met you, yet, but have met Posh and Ginger Spice in a video rental store in Brighton on the day they did filming for their 'brilliant' Spice Girls the movie. Victoria was nice, but Minger was rather rude and stuck up. Had a chat with Boy George when he was DJing in a bar in Ibiza. He's a friendly chap. Some of my family were Prussian Royalty. Other than that, I've tried to keep out of the limelight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Also must mention pant wettingly hilarious incident in the gents bogs during Cheltenham cricket festival. The ladies bogs was packed so some girls were using the mens. There was this one particularly drunk girl who was leaning next to the urinals watching the bloke have a slash and passing comments. It’s my turn. I’m not put off by her coz I am bursting. So I show here a few tricks like how to blast the ciggie butts down the hole and how high up the wall I can go. “Look out for the splash-back.” I warn her as she gets an arm load of spray. Off she goes. As I zip up, the guy next to me says “Thank god she’s gone. I couldn’t go.” I turn round and there’s David Gower literally wetting himself in hysterics. So was everybody else. This was about the time he was in They Think It's All Over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm in the music video for 'Supergrass - Alright' The bit where they're going down the beach on a bed, i'm in the background. It was filmed in Porthmadog, North Wales. It was while i was on holiday there when i was about 14! Also, i went to the same primary school as Robbie Williams. My mum was also a teacher there & she taught him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
