To ask your tenuous claims to fame?

Oooooh, I’ve just remembered one. An actor who used to play a teacher in Grange Hill - not one of the main characters but recognisable if you were of a certain age which I was, was my supply cover when I had a week’s leave to attend a funeral abroad. I didn’t actually meet him but he left me a lovely letter saying how grateful he was for the detailed work I had left. As someone who has since done supply teaching that was a massive compliment 😂

I spoke to Darius from Popstars on the phone like 20+ years ago. And when I used to use Instagram years ago, Chris Brown yelled at me then blocked me (thank god)

The English teacher of a former manager was Phillip Pullman.

I once sold a television to Peter Beardsley.

This reminds me I once almost got knocked over by Alan Yentob as he was driving out of the carpark at Broadcasting House. I didn't realise cars came out of there so wasn't looking where I was going. I initially thought it was Salman Rushdie, but realised later I had gotten them mixed up!

Someone I know from university was an extra on Dr Who.

Someone I knew from the school run was an extra on Smoggie Queens.

I went to primary shool with the singer from Scouting For Girls.

James Marriott might have mentioned my daughter in an interview that my daughter can no longer find, tenuousness at its finest.

They are the oddest couple arn't they ?

I sat at a table next to Liz Hurley and Billy-Ray Cyrus a few months ago. Rural pub, most bizarre!!

Just remembered another one 😆 my grandma knew Violet Carson ( Ena Sharples from Corrie) they were from the same area in Manchester

I was interviewing for a grad scheme (that I was successful in getting) and Joints Vegas was at the hotel (2003 so he was relatively famous). He got very vocally and humorously upset about the cruelty of assessment centres for young graduates.

My granny had been good friends with Christopher Robin Milne, so we were banned from Winnie the Pooh books due to his feelings about it. This was in the 80s and I never quite believed her until the movie came out.

The garage I used to work at used to service Brian Ferry's sister's car.

My grandparents lived next door to Harry Secombe's sister.

Working as a lifeguard, I once gave Anne Widecombe directions

Also went to university with the baby that was the sun’s face in the Teletubies

Oh yes, forgot this one. My husband was once stopped on the street by that bloke who presented big breakfast. He asked what my husband had for breakfast and he said nothing, the bloke told him to make something up and he said toast and walked off, totally bemused. He'd not long moved to the uk and he thought brits were bonkers 🤣

I was once interviewed by BBC Scotland about my thoughts on Scotrail trains.

I've seen Robert Plant in the co-op

NC'd for this as I've told a few people about some of it. I've got a few:

My arm was on the BBC news once shaking the hand of ex-President George Bush Snr.

Rowan Atkinson''s kids went to the same school as my DS, and I let him I go in front of me in the grocery queue at the Co-op once, because he had two items in his basket and I had loads.

Many years ago, I sold David Essex some socks when I was working in the Littlewoods store in Romford.

I once had my hands on a photo of Donny Osmond until it was ripped out of my hands by another girl, but I had touched the photo that he had touched, so obviously I haven't washed my hands ever since. 😂

Oops, nearly forgot: I was nearly run over ON A ZEBRA CROSSING by Mark Knopfler on the King's Road. Years ago, talking on his brick phone.

.
My old university flatmate’s parents nearly sold their house to the policeman in Allo Allo.

I sat four places away from Janet Street-Porter on an easyJet flight.

@BlueWorkDay if you worked as a runner on the Spice Girls video, do you remember a remember a runner called T* who Mel B apparently pleasured under a table in the Star Pub on the Portobello Road?!
Oh, my tenuous claims to fame - met royalty loads of time but Purple Prince was best, worked with a Minogue, stalked Michael Palin - latter was complete accident! Managed to bump into him three days in a row in two different cities!

My sister's husband lived next door to someone who had his foot trodden on by Prince Phillip at a summer ball.

I was a salsa dancer in an episode of Vincent where there was a murder at a lottery winners party , you can see my elbow if you look carefully and I saw Suranne jones and the guy that played Vincent 😃

Just remembered another one somone i used to work with had a daughter who was a very good singer ,she appeared on the X factor and got aa far as Judges houses
I think she stayed with the Osbornes

And I went to college with Sir Rex Harrison’s daughter (he was governor of the Falklands when it was invaded).

And our children were friends with the children who were the subject of the film “We Bought a Zoo” and used to visit the zoo a lot.

It was a fun distraction thinking of all these.

I was in a queue in TK Maxx behind Rusty Lee.

I shared a joke with Brian Adams at a pizza place in Paris.

My ex colleague's brother was in EastEnders.

My friend is descended from The Moonies cult leaders.

Katy Price's decorator also did our bathroom when I rented twenty odd years ago ( and it looked crap).
