Strange/Indirect claims to fame

[Paladin]

The guy who lived next door but one to me used to write Coronation Street. He gave us our first TV when he had to upgrade to one that showed BBC2. It must have been 1969 or 1970. He took me to my first City game, against West Ham at Maine Road. I remember Clive Best was playing.

His son, my friend at the time, is now a top barrister. He has defended some very high profile politicians and celebrities. He is a City fan too, and his son was a mascot last season.

I went to school with, and had a fight with Billy Duffy of The Cult. He won.

When I was around 4 years old, I asked if I could have Peter Swales' baby. (His daughter and my sister were born at the same time and his daughter looked nicer than my sister).

I once encountered Mike Summerbee coming towards me in his car as I was driving the in the correct direction down a one way street in Manchester. He stuck two fingers up at me. This unnerved me and made me think I was wrong, but I wasn't.

On the Brian Clough theme, on 13 April 1992 he gave my wife and my sister a chocolate bar each. On the same day, United's first team coach Jim Ryan called me 'scum'.

Paul Lake helped me get a cruciate injury sorted
I was on telly at MR when we beat them 5-1
I once took the piss out of John Thompson (fat bob out of Paul Calf) that much he stormed off in a huff
Joe Royle once personally told me I wasn't good enough to make it as a pro
Paul Scholes used to mow my wifes grandparents lawn

I went to school with both the Gallaghers and have been to match with the older brother Paul a couple of times.

I've had sex with someone fairly famous, but genuinely will not say who (she wasn't all that anyway).

I've played darts with with Eric Bristow.

I used to breakdance with Jason Orange in Wythenshawe long before his Take that days. He was actually really good.

I've been arrested for being drunk in charge of a milk float, it made the withington reporter as it was known then.

I have a number but they are mainly technical things, so if your not into disabled adaptations and alterations to historic buildings they won't really interest you

You're not really selling this are you?

Go on, try us.

I was asked to look at coming up with a faster and cheaper way to adapt bathrooms for the elderly and disabled, the model I came up with is now used around the country previously they took a over a week, I got it down to a couple of days, which was better for everyone.

Won a few awards for designs to listed buildings, refurbishment and extensions, nothing really ground breaking

P

That's a great achievement that makes a big difference to people's lives. You should be really
Proud.

So you've had sex with Eric Bristow and palyed darts with somebody famous?

A second cousin of mine was the prostitute named in the first Jeffrey Archer case.
She was found to be a liar by the judge who then went on to describe Mary Archer as 'fragrant.'
Monica's story was then found to be true, years later, and Archer was rightly imprisoned.
Monica died in a car crash about the same time but at least the truth was out by that point. Odious fooker that Archer.
And the judge was senile.

Ive beat Mark E Smith at pool.
Had a spliff with Tim Booth.
Got my first E off Bez at the Mondays video shoot for "Wrote For Luck".
Came up with the "Roslers grandad bombed Old Trafford".
Caused a global media shitstorm with the "fergie RIP" banner.
Was on Brookside for about 8 seconds in the background.
Nearly had a fight with one of the buzzcocks in the swinging sporran but can't remember why.

That's so sad
