    My Claim To Fame

    Edwin Starr used my darts. Not recently because he's dead.

    He used to frequent a pub here in sunny Tamworth.
    A bloke I worked with also frequented the same pub and informed me that Mr. Starr was a top bloke, really approachable and would be happy to have a photo taken, give an autograph or even have a game of darts as he loved the game.
    I went to this pub with a few mates to see if we could get a game.
    Unfortunately, we arrived a little bit too late as we found him explaining to a couple of other blokes that he had to leave soon and so could only give one of them a game provided he could borrow a set of darts as he did not have his with him.
    One of the blokes offered him his darts. Edwin took one out to get the feel of it and declined it as it was heavier than his which were 25g.
    Lo and behold, I'm stood there with a set of 25s.
    "Here you go, Edwin, old boy"

    I know what you're thinking. "so what?" right?
    Well shut up, it's my story and I'm sharing it. Up yours

    Beat that!

            I was doing doing a display at a festival and was sitting in the VIP area, when some bint from Coronation Street sent her PA over to asked if I wanted to join his "STAR". I told him if she wanted to speek to me, to get off her fat arse and come over. Don't do celebrities and the only hereos I have put their lives on the line.

                On a similar note I was in Belize in 85 and was driving through the jungle when I needed a piss. I'd just started pissing when a Land Rover came down the track behind me with the British High Commisioner and his wife in it. He pulled up behind me and asked if I wanted a hand. If only he'd known what I was doing at the time.

                  How did you wangle that, in VIP area of a festival, when (no offense) your only a DK Vetern?

                  does upsetting the drummer of a pop group count, swapping a crappy Motorola car kit from ex-wife of emerdale star, and poking a button on telephone kit of a GENUINE royals sister's car count?
