Strange/Indirect claims to fame

My cousins (ex) husband drove Prince Charles around a few times and was invited to stay at whichever Palace he dropped him off at. His superior wouldn't allow him as the car needed to be back somewhere asap.

Ken Dodds p.a. was a client of mine.

Alex Hurricane Higgins bumped his babys pushchair into the one I was pushing in Dixons in the Arndale.

I went to school with a girl, Tina Edge, who's father, Arthur Edge, killed a policeman PC Egerton on Egerton St. Twenty odd years later I worked with a poor guy who was one of the first officers on the scene after he'd died.

I was once sat in The Mauldeth when Alex Higgins walked in wearing a blue fedora with a feather sticking out.

Dressed like that he really merged in withthe rest of the clientel.

Sad bastard needs to develop a thick skin.

Manford? You've mixed up the quote with the bit about Bimbo and Sam Fox. I'm confused. What happened with you and Manford?
Noel looks better in a frock than manford


I most certainly do.



And I don't base my whole routine on my twins. The unfunny ****.
 
I know two people who were both in mega successful bands but left before the bands became famous.

I once saw him playing snooker in the social club in Withington near the roundabout (don't know if it's still there) at 11 in the morning, pissed out of his tiny mind. January 1991, I would say.

Can't say I've seen his routine

Brian Osmond and Dave Dooley?

My cousins best mate John Riddley(R.I.P) was hanging around with the Davies brothers just before they formed The Kinks. Ray told him to ditch the heroin or leave the band, so he left the band.

One of my best mates was in Elbow when they were still Mr Soft. He left to concentrate on his real job, but has never regretted it and is still best mates with Guy Garvey.

What you just quoted.
 
Carol Harrison who played Tiffany's Mum in EastEnders and Moff's Mum in Human Traffic came to one of our Family Parties. She married someone connected to my Mum's side of the family so it's tenuous at best.

More recently, I've had a beer with some well known and some not so well known people from the world of TV and Film since I've worked in London. I've also done some FanZone type stuff for Sports Tonight Live and worked with Nicky Summerbee, Gordon Watson, Mike Parry and others.
