Dave Allen, Irish comedian of the 70s, told me to "be careful" as I struggled with one of those so-called portable tvs back in the 80s. We were on a train.

I may have taught the Scary Spice 'oop north of England back in the 90s. It may have been someone else, mind. She learnt nowt 'cos she were right daft, by the way.

Will Anderson, Aussie standup, stomped past me on a Sydney street a few years ago. A few days later I heard his tv show had been canned.

I'm sure there's more, but that'll do for now.

Barry Sheene told me to **** off when I asked him for his autograph.
I'm in a safety at work film driving a blue Vauxhall Cresta
I had a one night stand with a soap actress's fiance
My Dad is a film extra in a George Formby film
An extra in a soap lived round the corner from me

I'm in the last episode of the X-Files that was shot in Vancouver along with my wife (...and 20,000 other people at the stadium it was filmed at lol  )

Oh if sexual adventures are up...

I used to date a girl who is an illegitimate half sister to a famous movie start/director/producer whom she resembled.  Oooh.

As a wild teen I had an affair with the wife of a certain punk bands guitarist.  Oooh.

...haay! Its not a lame claim if we are trying to figure out who these people are 

I spent an afternoon with Clint Eastwood at his bar, the hogs breath, in Carmel by the ocean 16 yeas ago. He was really cool !

The former drummer of Nickelback used to rent an apartment from my dad. My dad didn't like him because he left the toilet running for two weeks and things like that.

Not sure this counts but my father once resolved a property dispute in less than a week which had been going on for 30-40 years. The First minister of Scotland described him as "a ->-bleeped-<- hot lawyer". I'm not sure how flattering that really is...

Arnold Schwarzenegger has stayed at my family's summer cabin before. So technically I have slept in the same bed he has.

Lame... hmmmm, idk..  I had a bad landing in Hot Springs, Va, with Nancy Reagan and a planeful of Guys with things in their ears, dark glasses and bulges under their arms...

I flew the guy that was played $chemer on Shining Time Station.  I sat next to, and got to chat with Tom Wopat (think the Gen. Lee and sliding across the hood) on a flt to Nashville.
I got to talk to John Walsh for close to 20 mins, abt his youngest son who was one of my passengers. And about Adam, too.

I was Strom Thurmonds' family pilot.  I flew John Kerry before he ran for president.

I'm not famous in the least, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night..

 

I saw G Bush when he was president. I didn't like him even then, but I wanted to be able to say I saw a real president, while he was president.

I still have a certificate signed by Thomas Allen one of the greatest ground breaking pilots ever. It was for two hours (my first lesson) in a Link trainer! 

It was me in the grassy noll...

I was told that my great grandmother was one of the passengers on the RMS Carpathia, when it picked up the survivors of the Titanic sinking. I have my doubts, but there you go.

I once sold a horse to Phyllis Diller.

I played soccer with someone who almost made the roster of the Chicago Sting.

I was one of three students who visited with Jimmy Carter when he visited our University of NH dorm as he was just beginning his run for president in 76.

i placed 2nd in a nation-wide award.

The simple profundity of that one keeps nagging at me. I kind of think you win, so far anyway. You were probably as good as the winner, but didn't get any glory for it. Ranking number two must be the the definition of "lame claim to fame".

I was in the same prison as Jeffery Dahmer.
