Unusual or tenuous claim to fame

Walking down the Kings Road me and my mate were photographed and recruited as extras in Clockwork Orange for £20. He went but I couldn’t get the 2 weeks off work.

Jim Davidson came to my Christening.

My best mate punched Des Lynam at Epsom races

Mistaken identity? 

No, it was definitely his best mate

My Dad rented a flat to Frank Sinatra's UK based PA. My Uncle taught Amy Whitehouse how to sing. Dickie Guy helped my girlfriend and I move into our flat. An ex Charlton Chairman rings my dad up to chat football / Charlton quite regularly. I frequent a bar in Spain when i'm there that Andy Nelson drinks and watches football in - we've chatted. Lennie Lawrence was in my garden handing out awards a few years back. My Dad was offered the academy job at Charlton years back but asked my football manager to do it who accepted and ran it for 30 years. He would have been Swisdom's coach when saving Lee Bowyer etc's penalties. I left the team that season and was was replaced by Gordon Watson, Scott Minto and Damian Matthew  . a girl i work with friends dad is the only giraffe dentist in the uk and another one's great grandfather was best friends with Winston Churchill and Lord of the Admiralty. That'll do for now.

I defy anyone to come up with something better than this 😄

I call bullshit. Giraffes don't even have opposable thumbs, so how would they hold the equipment ?

I was with you up 'til then, but that's too much of a tall story 😉.

I'm in the Terry pratchett map and directory for 'Ankh morpork' as 'Cashman & shine', oil and colour merchants. 

What's the story behind that gem, Shine?

Andy Nelson turned 90 this year - impressive - how is he doing these days, is he fit and well ?

Loved watching his Charlton sides, until it all went to poo of course

I was in the audience of the very first Question Time in 1979 (school trip).

My question was not read out though.

"Sir Robin, does the panel think Charlton will ever beat Millwall?"

That Q would work better on Call my Bluff or Would I Lie to You.

last time i spoke to him was about 3 years ago - he was ok - drinking beer, watching football - sitting on his own whenever i've seen him - the bar was shut when i was out there last year but has since re opened i've been told - i was introduced by regulars in the bar who i'd been chatting with and were aware we were Charlton fans
