Mediocre claims to fame

Was sat at the table next to the millionaire Paul Daniels in our local Pizza Hut. He was there with his son Martin plus kids, and his missus Debbie McGee. He made a pizza disappear. Gradually, over the course of about 15 minutes..

How was the pizza? Did he like it?

I’m surprised at the number of encounters OcUK members have had with Paul Daniel’s.
 
I was mates at school with someone who had heard that one of their mates and gone up to David Wilkie, semi famous 80's GB swimmer man, who was there at our school sports day for some reason, and told him to **** off to his face, then legged it.
 
I would claim it was a trolling post but I wo’nt because it was’nt.

For those who want a clean finish, let’s just say it was his tallywhacker.

I was at a posh do in London, walked in behind Rick Wakeman and sat on the table next to Ian Lavender. At work the following week, had a bizarre conversation with my mum who insisted Rick Wakeman was dead. He didn't look dead but after more time than it should have taken, she thought I was talking about Alan Rickman.

Mentioned in the Clarksons Farm thread, one of pubs shown in an episode was the first pub I lived in.

My dad used to rent garage space to Eddie Jordan. In the 2nd pub it become the local for what was the F1 team Toleman - is now Alpine. Remember a passed out Rory Byrne with serviettes in his hair (he designed the winning Ferrari for Michael Schumacher.

Held the door open for Rory Bremnar in a local newsagents. Walked passed Peter Sallis and got a smile. :) Sat opposite Richard Branson at a town fete. I was a trustee for a local respite care home and introduced to Gerome Flynn, he was an honorary patron. Once stayed at the same hotel as Lewis Hamilton's dad (at the same time!). My mums best mate sold a house to Chris Martin. I was in the paper for being the first child born on Jubilee Day 1977 in Banbury (the same hospital that Gary Glitter was born!)

If I can think of any more tenuous links, I'll update :D

He was also able to magically refill his glass of coke. One minute the glass was nearly empty, then I'd look away for a minute and when I looked back it was full again! I'll tell you, that and the pizza disappearing thing, until you see it close up for yourself you don't really believe in things like magic.
 
Russ Abbot gave me one of his "See you Jimmy" orange wigs after a gig back in 2003. Later that night I went to a fancy dress night at a club and thought I may as well go as the Scotsman with the wig and I'm sad to say I accidently assaulted some poor bloke in the dark, thinking it was Kate Bush :(

I was 21 years old, had been in the country for all of a year, and got groped by a Spice Girl, I thought I was having a fever dream. :D

Also, her 2 bouncers were MASSIVE.
 
Met the late Queen and at the time Prince Charles when I was younger
I helped Gianfranco Zola setup his scanner...
David Beckham pointed at me so I could order my drinks first at a bar... (and rightly so...)
Paul Jewell and I would always bump into each other at KFC, me coming back from the gym and I assume he just finished his training seasion. Happend all the time till he got sacked.
