Lame to Fame 2021

Post by Admin »

Been a while since we had one of these.

I stood behind Frank Clark in Sprays the bakers in Queens Road a while ago. He ordered 2 cheese rolls and also took the last slice of bread pudding which I had my eye on.

Anyone got anything lamer than that?

Returning from Dublin I was sat behind Pamela Anderson on the flight and exited the plane just behind her. I was in no hurry to get past her (and her 5 minders) so ambled along behind her through passport control admiring her ultra-low slung jeans revealing at least 3/4 of her derriere. I didn't ask for her autograph as her main minder looked a bit of a head case.

Steve Davis of Rangers lives in the flat above my daughter. One time, right, when I picked her up I sawer'im.

I had nothing to do with the Celtic flag incident that resulted in her and her mates having to apologise to him.

My Ex was taken to see Winston Churchill on his sick bed, not long before he croaked.

I saw Spizz of Spizzenergi fame waiting at the carousel at Gatwick.

That's literally my closest brush with anyone famous, apart from peeing next to Bruce Foxton in the Marquee once.

I played football with Tommy back in the early 90's before he was famous. He had an Alsatian called Major who used to be tied to the back of the goal Tommy was playing in - he had huge bollocks as well (the dog).

Hmm. Bit suspicious that. Did they check for signs of a struggle?

I had a brief chat with Mr Slade in Costa at Leyton Mills in 2014 prior to home match with Gillingham. I like to think the advice I gave was pivotal in achieving a fine 5-1 victory

In 1988 I sat next to Morten Harket on a plane from Kristiansand to Bergen.

Around 2003/4 Dylan Moran asked me for a light in the smoking area (remember them?) at Edinburgh Airport.

Micky Bullock gave me the shilling he found down the back of the bench seat we were sitting on in Leyton Youth Centre.

Many years ago ( about 40 i reckon ) Barry Hearn used to come down our working men's club and empty the pool tables and fruit machines , whilst he was counting the coins he used to let us have a couple of free games on the pool table , I don't remember Barry giving a lot else away for nowt over the years 🤔🤔

2013 was a good year. Shared a flight back from Ireland with John Hurt, also the DLR with Ian McKellan.

Back in the later 70s, I graciously let a running-at-full-pelt Glenda Jackson cross the road in front on me at a crossing outside Parliament.

I bumped into Fergal in Chingford. It turns out he has a think about the water quality in streams and rivers, and was checking out the stream that runs behind the estate which has been built where the dog stadium used to be. Since then I've followed him on Twitter, and he's proper mad for it.
