LAME to FAME!

One of the Grumbleweeds used to live just round the corner from me.

Also I once managed to grab one of the records that Take That kindly distributed into the audience - I threw it back 'frisbee-style' and it hit Robbie Williams on the head.

Mo Mowlams mum lived on the same road as me before we moved.

My mum used to work in a bank, and reguarly served one of the dudes from "The Specials".

I think everyone from Coventry who gets famous must leave real fast!

Just spotted this cheeky one posted by parkinho in another thread:

"LOL, don't diss Jeff Brown! He is the guy on the mic every matchday at Turf Moor, and he used to go out with my gf's cousin.

YOU BUY ONE, YOU GET ONE FREE!"

Quality.

Went to school with the lead singer/ guitarist Will Briggs, who was in the band Llama Farmers... also very good mates with the guy who the band based their name on.
I also knew the girl who had her navel photographed in one of their album sleeves.

Saw Alex Tuilagi (Leicester Tigers player) in a supermarket. I said hello, and even advised him on a purchase. A strange moment that.

I know a workmate who recently went holidaying in Hong Kong, and who should he bump into... none other than Chris Martin from Coldplay. Just so happens Coldplay were playing in Hong Kong and the git got free tickets.

Walked past Julian Joachim as he exited our local newsagent.

My brother was good friends with the ex-Leicester player Matt Piper.

I am in Coepoeth at the moment looking after my dad's house while he is on holiday and using it as a base to explore Wales.
Anyway, this reminded me of the first house my dad looked at when looking to move here. It was owned by chubby actor Ricky Tomlinson, my Dad didn't buy it as it needed too much work doing on it.

I'm sure I've posted this before, but when I was about 5....

My nans brother is Engelbert Humperdink. We all were at a Xmas party at his gaff in Leicester around 1984/5 and Freddie Starr was there. Apparently I walked up to him, said 'I don't like you' and kicked him in the shins, which resulted in him chasing me round the house.
