I also invented the phrase "Mmmmm Danone"

I didn't intend it to become a lifelong project.

OK maybe I should have explained better.

It was measured for the guinness Book of Records

'Just say what you see.'

'Is it "completely meaningless 'lovely lovely person' Roy?"'

It's wonderful when people ignore you....

I made several daily papers in this country,magazines and papers in several other countries,Fox news and did a.feature in a magazine.Plus it was on the net.

It is true Mr Dibble's cock was in the Guinness Book of Records.

The lifetime ban from the library was probably justified.

No, .it was on Extreme Engineering, it featured the worlds most powerful microscope which was specially built to try and view the said appendage, ...sadly it just couldn't focus enough.

My mates uncle is Bernie the Bolt

We have a winner!!!

...did he wear the blindfold at home?

Bernard Sumner off of New Order once said 'alright lad?' to me whilst we were queuing at the bar of Manchester's now defunct Hacienda nightclub. Do I win five pounds?

I was once using the urinal next to jimmy Somerville of the communards/bronski beat fame at Tyne tees tv, mind I was a bit worried when he started singing, don't leave me this way !

I know the actor who plays the bloke with the limp in the Highlander TV series, and he really does have a gammy leg.

I can beat that ,i had pee next to Brian Murphy from George and Mildred..

.....in the same bed?

There was a rumour that Lawrence was actually Salty.........

Stick with me, Chip, and I'll put you in the big time.

Anyway, don't be mean. Both the people I mentioned in the first post would be recognisable in the street, by people they didn't know personally, because they've both done a number of public performances.

I'm a legendary figure in the world of motorsport, most famous for the sporty mini, which features my autograph.

Also a top lawyer.

December 1983 I was named on the national news. Had to get badly burnt when ICI Aromatics 1 at North Tees went up. But there you go. it was as Warhol said 15 minutes of fame. But Chip is right .

A very very small, invisible world, perhaps!

And even that's a different issue from whether fame requires someone to be recognised in the street. Most authors wouldn't be recognised in the street by many people, even when they're famous names.

I reckon you secretly want to apply to be a famous bunkerite, but you're too shy.

That's what I said. It's just that I am very succinct, and you are over-wordy.


ps you are asking for it, innit?

I enjoy reading very tenuous links/ claims to fame. It's far more entertaining than actually reading about somebody who really is famous

right, I spoke to Keith Houchen again yesterday while I was out with the lads from my work place on our walking beerathon from Glaisdale to Whitby!!!! Which makes me famous now without a doubt

Just a minute, was that because he's famous or because you thought he was a brilliant musician? This is getting deep now.

Ah well, if it's association, we had a Jack Daniels drinking competition with EMF after John Beast's wedding and I saw Zak, the bassist's, favourite trick of inserting a lime under his foreskin.

Not that that would get me recognised in the street like...

Ive been on page 7 of the sun and in the sport with a topless model, had my photo taken with Frank maloney and 2 topless models for the sport again and been interviewed on itv news by Colin Baker and i got recognised in the street after that by a few people

I hope they never said "there's that bloke with the tits" like they always do to me

One of our lasses mates texted her after seeing me on East Midlands news (the equivalent of Look North). She hasn't asked for my autograph yet.

I was selling Monkey Bizz outside Leicester's ground when we played them down there, and the news crew interviewed me about Pools. The footage they showed was used in a feature about how low Leicester's stock had fallen, having to play the likes of us.

The bastards then edited the footage to make me look stupid (not that hard).

One of my proper claims to fame is that BBC newsreader Anita McVeigh was at a wedding I gave a best man's speech at, and she said it was very good. She's married to a Poolie so I've met her a couple of times.

And if anyone can remember the landlord off TFI Friday, he actually runs or used to run a pub near Belsize Park tube station. I was in there having a slash one afternoon, and he came staggering in completely and utterly blaked, got his chopper out and started pissing everywhere. He was like a garden sprinkler.

It was only the ability to stop mid-flow and a bit of nimble footwork that prevented me from getting soaked.

I used to knock about with a lass called Anne Davies who used to reads the news on Central TV. I think she still does now and then come to think of it.

Mr Kint wins for me.

I once stumbled out of a lift at a gig in in Pall Mall Depository wearing a dress and Dublin Boots, and smoking a huge bifter and trod all over Andy Ross, Blur's manager, who'd come to watch us.

I said 'Sorry mate.' and he said "no problem Kev,' and still didn't sign us.

The 'lovely lovely person'.

The band kicked me all the way home....

I shared a spliff with Roy Harper and one with John Martyn.
And I went to a backstage party with Rockbitch.
And I was on the telly in the backgroung when West were on Rugby Special (or what ever it was called then) from Brierton Lane.
My father in law represented Fleetwood on 'Its a knockout'.

Would anyone really want to be famous,......? Me and the wife were in Hamleys stood waiting to pay for a couple of star wars figures for the kids, only for our lass to point out that the bloke in front and his mate had a millienium falcon each .....:followed by those supposedly secret furious whispers that women have perfected complete with bulging eyes, to announce.... "we're stood behind Paul Mcartney......say something to him".....what do you say ........?so I smugly ignored him as she fumed.......and fumed till I said you speak to him. ....first time she was lost for words.

Yeah I'd hate fame snowy. The lavish lifestyle, the attention, the many opened doors to things regular folk never get access too.

Enjoy your day buzz killington

As shallow as a car park puddle.

I went to school with Vic Reeves..

Bollocks... there's no way you went to school

... just to school, wouldn't they let you in ....?

Well i did sign in .

...... a big 'X ' does not mean you can write.

As boring as a turned off tele

....and obviously boring into you......

some top fame experiences there!! Especially the first one!!

My brother-in-laws mate said his older brother played hide the sausage with Lulu behind a leisure centre in Scunthorpe before she was famous. I wonder if he made her 'Shouwowowowowout'?

A bloke i know who always goes to Pools once had Lulu in the back of his car

Lulu made fame when she was 15. How old was your BIL's mates bruv?

Probably in his early twenties. Was apparently the first proper drug dealer/gangster Scunny had ever seen.

appeared on one tV show with 'The housemartins' another TV show with 'Latin Quarter' Radio one road show, Dock Rock (along with Mr Elvis) used the drummer from Spear of destiny's kit and Freddie Mercury's Tambourine in a recording studio, had breakfast with Leo Sayer, got chased by two dobermans and a roadie from Terence ' trent rehersal room (we where next door) caused havoc at a place called 'John Henry's' by parking the tranny van in such a way as to prevent Big country's juggernaught thingys getting in the car park, had lunch with pools own Mickey donnely and 'Boy meets girl' whilst recording 'Waiting for a star' had a great night with an amasing jazz funk out fit who turned out to be the ex Glitter band, had a pint or two with the wonderful Gil Scott Heron, had a hand shake of Ronnie wood, who then fooked me straight off and have been totaly ignored by Kieth Richards, last week played a gig with a former guitarist with BB King and Muddy waters, also ive had PMs from Chip and Mutley (ok that last one is a lie)

I knew Micky Finn out of T-Rex. Which isn't saying much 'cos everybody in frigging Paris knew Mickey Finn out of T-Rex, or vice versa.
