welsh_gamer Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have been on S4C, on the Welsh version of Newsround, discussing the subject "why do young people smoke". I have met Derren Brown. I walked past Bryn Terfel at the cinema, without realizing it was him. My face was on the front page of the Daily Post newspaper, many years ago. All I had done was won a competition for designing a Christmas card. Not much news about that day I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I met Darius Danesh and we like talked for a minute then left. Walked past Siobhan Donaghy in the street.

My aunt's friend is a musician, and her cousin went to school with Shirley Manson, lead singer of the world-famous Garbage. My aunt's friend used to go out and hang with her when she was performing early gigs with Anglefish.

(That's less a claim to fame and more someone famous that I knew once.) And I'm the author of FAVC. Anyone heard of it?

Charlie Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I once saw the Celtic team bus at a petrol station near Ayr. Lennon was standing outside it. One time at work someone was looking at The Sun on page 3 and admiring the girl. Then she walked into the room! Seriously, not joking. Her boyfriend is a member at Esporta and she came in with him. I once got to sit in the box at the Edinburgh Tattoo. I was on the front page of The Glasgow Herald years ago because I went with my dad to some charity thing for Childline he organsed. When I was a baby Esther Rantzen held me. Robbie Coltrane lives 5 minutes away from me and I see him regularly. I'm related to loads of Scottish Kings and Queens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
