OK showing my age...met all of Duran Duran (but thought their head security bloke was hotter!), stayed in the same hotel as Spandau Ballet when they toured, met all of U2 and got Bonos towel and Irish flag from the concert, it was my 18th birthday, (Mum threw them out at some stage...Grrr!). Met Daniel Carter and Ritchie McCaw from the All Backs, (have autographs on cap and shirt). Met Diana Ross when she was married to Arno Ness (sp?) and had a chalet in Switzerland. More may come to mind...

I haven't really got any claims to fame - only I used to live with (and am friends with) the son of Duran Duran geezer - Andy Taylor. My cousin used to be in a band with him.

Here is fame right here!!! On Thursday I went to a recording of Antiques Roadshow (yes I know I'm old!) All the celebrity (?) experts were there and we got chatting to them, shared my grapes with Eric Knowles, chatted to Fiona Bruce, got tickled by some 20th century glass expert called Andy! John Stanton was very strange and not at all interested in the public but amazing knowledge on every piece of ceramic which passed him by.

There weren't many people there so got crowded into every scene to make it look busy and it should be showing in January or February!! I'm very excited - I'm the one in the giant straw hat & sunglasses - it was very hot and sunny and a fantstic day!!

Got told that my sister's print, was actually an original by some semi-famous Russian artist and is worth at least 10 times what she paid for it!! Seemingly Russian art is huge just now!!

With other claims to fame -

I've seen Geoff Capes peeing at the Strongest Man comp - decided not to as for his autograph!
Used to muck out Martina Hingis' horses in Switzerland - had to remove her used condoms from the hay shed - glamorous or what!!! Biggest slapper in the world!
Found 2 leading 3-day eventers under a table in passionate embrace - given a wad of cash not to tell their wives!! Must remember not to mention names!!
Went to a BBQ with Craig Gordon & Andy Webster, who sat & played with my daughter all night - ace blokes!! She still loves them both!

Keep thinking of more, prompted by other people's! The claims are getting slightly weaker, admittedly!

My other half bought his first house from Nicky Butt and his mum (before he became a really big name, was just getting known locally).

Have also met Suranne Jones (ex Corrie and various dramas) at a practice I locumed in.

I had my photo taken with Christopher Biggins when I was little! I saw Robson Green (phwoar!) in Waitrose & Dean Gaffney in Sainsburys. Also our Practice featured in Countryfiles Summer Diaries a couple of years ago - I was in it doing various things - eg: catching feral kittens from a cat trap (whilst looking calm & making sure they got my best angle) whilst all I wanted to do was throttle the little s**ts, but couldn't in case clients saw it & thought I was hurting the little angels! Bumped into Jonny Wilkinson as I came out of the toilets at a rugby match! Chris Tarrant was a client at the practice I used to work at & so was Paddy from Emmerdale!

I'm sure there are probably more, but I won't go on!

When I was at uni, me and my housemate went to the Jackass 2 premiere in Leciester Square and met most of the guys and I asked wee man to kick himself in the head but he said I couldn't afford it! We then managed to get to tickets off some woman to go in a watch the film. It was very exciting! lol
