Oh, a fame game.
I once sat with Brian May and Anita Dobson on a flight back from Spain. That was fun and Brian was one of the nicest blokes I've ever met.
RIP Charlie Watts

Didn't ask! Just didn't cross my mind. I like the way he thinks of art and it's better he/she remains a mystery. The 'shredding' picture was brilliant, if I was Banksy I would have PMSL from the first thought to do it all the way through to the buyer's face when it shredded.
I'm not into 'celebrity' very much so a poor fame gamer.
I don't recognise many of the names of celebrity questions and programmes on quiz shows. As a Queen fan the only one I didn't have to Google was Brian May and even then I would recognise his hair more than 'him'. I confused Bonnie Langford with Bonnie Tyler, I recognised Martine McCutcheon from Love Actually but the name meant nothing and Anita Dobson is a name I have heard but again no idea who she is or what she did!

But he did go on to win a good number of thousands (64 I think)! He just didn't know the answer to such intellectual questions as who runs the Rover's Return?jimibt wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 5:27 pmoh that would be some shame to have to endure... supermarket outings would certainly never be dull... *aisle get me coat*firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 4:31 pmGood advice I would be like that recent guy on 'Millionaire' who used 2 lifelines to get to £300!
I can't remember the question but I once got a £250K question right but would never have made it to £1000 on that episode, I think it was 2 or 3 of the first 5 I didn't know.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 8:57 pmBut he did go on to win a good number of thousands (64 I think)!

I was once queuing up at a checkout behind Mike Walker, shortly after he was sacked as Norwich City manager. He was unemployed but still wearing his usual suit and tie as though he was ready for an after match interview!
I also used to drink at the pub where Steve Wright (the Ipswich killer, not the Radio One DJ) was landlord, but unfortunately, he wasn't landlord at the time so I can't brag about meeting him or being mates.
