Been on TV? Had your 15 minutes? know a celeb? Got a distant link beween you and a celeb?

Well you know what to do then don't you!

Always use "so's your face" and "only on Tuesdays" in as many conversations possible

Um, My uncle's (married by blood-aunty)brother was half of the winning doubles team at Wimboldon this year.

Bin on TV but only in the background really, and was an extra in a film.

Um,live in a city thats full of z-list (in my eyes) celebrities but never seen any of them,(coz I keep my eyes glued to the floor so I dont fall down)

Although I been mistaken for catherin Zeta Jones a few times...mostly by drunkerds though

Yup, thats about my lot...I think

Anyone remember that welsh guy Huw who was in Eastenders some years ago - he does that bisto cheese sauce ad, the one who says:
"look at that bloke in the background- he's even got man boobs"
His Dad was my woodwork teacher at secondary school!

*tries to think* errrr

And Tom Jones (who vehemently denies this happening) got his nose broken by my grandpa's best mate (also named Tom) in a club near (or in) swansea, before he got famous.

It was shown on new years eve 1999 and was hosted by Kirsty Young (newsreader on channel 5) and Richard Fairbrass (right said fred!!!)

I've been on local channels 13,7,10 and 8, Discovery Channel twice, and Sci-Fi Channel.
I've been in local papers and art magazines and in Stars and Scars magazine.
I've recently been in two documentaries and have been cast in two b-rate movies.

I've met "celebrities" but not really in cool circumstances or as more than a blink of an eye. Actual strange things-ties...
I've met Peter DeLouise (used to be on 21 Jump St. and is not a Sci-fi show producer) when I had to give a speech at the same place he is.
My friend Todd is *close* friends with Penn Jillette from Penn and Teller. Penn actually did readings at Todd's wedding.
My mom used to change the diapers of Mark Ferrari (Mark Shuman) from the band Keel.
My sister and I took guitar lessons from Billy Sheehan, guitartist to David Lee Roth and others, who grew up in our town.
My friend Megan went to the same high school at Natalie Merchant.
My friend Tony was an opening band manager so he has some interesting stories from being on the road with Metallica and such. He also now manages one of the major music clubs here, which gets used-to-be big names in it, along with interesting stories.

Ummm... before I was born, my parents were in a play with a girl who later did the voice of Belle for Disney's "Beaty and the Beast". I think that's about as close to fame as I'll ever get. ubblol

I've been DJ'ing for years and have residented for Hard House (I was young), House and DnB clubs.

As such I've met, DJ'd with (and usually had a beer and a joint or 2 with) loads of people including Superfast Oz (OD404), Chris C (Mohawk Records), Eddie Halliwell, Lisa Lashes, Judge Jules (and his wife Amanda AKA 'Angelic'), Dave 'just how much cheese can we get into 60 minutes' Pearce, Fergie, Brandon 'where did all the vodka go' Block, Alex P, Charlotte Birch, Lisa Pin Up, Ingo, Fabio, Grooverider, Goldie, Mampi Swift, Ed Rush & Optical, Touche, Jazzy M, CJ Mackintosh and loads more. I've also met loads of others just by connection, but not played sets with them, like Paul Oakenfold (legend!).

My crowning glory has to be that one night I was playing in one room of Frisky and Anne Savage was playing in the other. When she finished her set she came into my room and started dancing and completely missed a set she was meant to be doing in London. biggrin

Also - one of my best mates is an actor and has been appearing on tv loads recenly (casualty, the bill, distant shores) and has a film coming our soon biggrin

Ooh, and (although this is very early yet) my little brother has been asked for a demo of his music by Basement Jaxx' label.

Oh yeah, and...

One of my housemates from uni was good friends with Danny and Rich Macnamara from Embrace. He even went to a party at their house and rang me so I could hear them playing acoustic live. (i'm not their biggest fan but they seem to have planty of others).
I met Zack Shaw (X-Games BMX rider) at V-festival a couple of years ago while my mates were in another tent chatting to the Doves guitarists.

I dont know how I forgot this either, I've shaken the hands of Jazzy Jeff (absolute legend!!), Frankie Knuckles (10 points to anyone who actually knows who he is!), and Todd Terry biggrin

Well a model friend of mine was in the US and went to party hosted by Tom Cruise, she was sitting at the bar when some guy came up to her and asked her what she thought of the band that was playing and the party. She told him it sucked only to realise that it was Tom Cruise talking to her! biggrin She didnt see him again.

i starred in a local tv program. me and 5 freinds from A-Level art had to build something child related from rubbish. my group made jack and jill (an obvious child orientated chioce) while the other group made ahem 'Queen Bet'. a monstrosity of a being with 4 scured doll heads for a face, and exposed nipples made from party poppers.



the other day i was on merdian news going into hsbc in newport isle of wight too.



also if anyone knows the band THE BEES i used to work with the bass players girlfriend and sold him toilet roll. we're on speaking tearms, and i like that.

yup flynt, you're my claim to fame hug ubblove

my other claim to fame occured when i was in a cd shop, i saw a guy that looked really familiar, but i couldn't place how i knew him, amybe an old teacher or something. i gave him the little nod and smile you give to people you know when you aren't going to stop and chat. i wondered why he was looking at me strangely, then afterwards i realised it was geoffery rush redface
