  5. The chuckle brothers were originally called chuck. And Tomee after a couple drinks one night I suggested they shorten there name to The dancing fog sisters ,they told me to get lost to which I replied your just a couple of chuckle brothers ,.now I'm not saying that I gave them there name ,but I have my suspicions

  8. Many moons ago when I was a long haired electrical tech I was called out to a club in Notts called Madisons (one of 'the 'places to go in it's day...) late on a Friday night. The sound system had gone kaput and they had a huge queue of people waiting to get in!
    Luckiliy for me it was just a tired fuse and I soon had it up and running again, much to the relief of the manager.
    He then took me up to the VIP bar, introduced me to the cast of Auf Weidersehen Pet who had been filming at Central studios , and told the barman my drinks were on the house!
    Cracking night that was!

    My step dad was a club comedian and kids entertainer, and is the same age as the Chuckles. He genuinely does know them both and gets a chrimbo card every year.

    I also sold a telly to a guy called Mick Hinton. He was John Bonhams drum roadie for all of Led Zepplins U.S. tours. He's the smug looking guy in the white t shirt.

  13. It seems your only claim to fame that carries any weight would be your proximity to a pair of c list childrens tv entertainers neither of whom can hold a candle to real entertainers like Bob Carolgees.

  16. Wasnt goin to mention it , but i was a sextoy for the keyboard player from band called rockbitch in hastings , in a club called the crypt in late 1998 .in the back room . A very wierd story how it happened .
    Was on a plane to iceland the next day . Was a strange few hours ....
    I think that might be a very negative claim to fame ....

    I got my truck trapped in Alan Titchmarsh's electric gates once after delivering some trees to his house, does that count?
    And I dropped some shrubs off to Charlie Dimmock's dad last winter.
    With luck I'll get to deliver something to a relative of Tommy Walsh in the near future and then I'll be able to say I've totally failed to meet all of the Ground Force team ;)
