  • The really shit KLANG thread

Which barely famous people have you ever met and how did you meet them?

Here’s three for starters:

I met the guy from the Plusnet adverts in The Washington pub in Sheffield. He was also out drinking by himself so I had a few pints with him, really nice bloke actually.

I met “Nev” from BBC Three’s The Call Centre at Schiphol airport when we were both waiting for the same flight. I had no idea who he was but knew I recognised him from somewhere so went to ask and he confirmed his identity. Must’ve recognised him from a trailer or something.

I once walked to Wigan North Western railway station with Canadian darts player and former Lakeside finalist Jeff Smith.

Dwight Yorke, Quentin Fortune in the lift of the hotel I was staying at, the day after my wedding night. Hung over as fuck but I gave Yorke a hug and struggled to put a name to Fortune.

Andy Cole last year in LAX, waiting in line with all the plebs to get out of the airport. Gave him A fist bump
and knowing look while he wasn’t getting any VIP treatment.

Attended two seperate shoots with Virat Kohli and Ganguly in 2018 for the Flipkart ads, wasn’t my project but the boss let me go to represent the brand and get some bts shots for social
media. Same with Amitabh Bachan and Deepika Padukone in 2019. Played gully cricket with Rahul Dravid because we made him a Culture Ambassador in 2014 - more pr than anything else.

Lake People came to the mansion and partied pretty hard with us. No after hours set but he was chill. I retired to bed early around 3AM, he came up to my room and got in my bed with me to get me out and do some kitchen sinking in private.

    What the fuck did I just read.

    “Siri, what’s the worst collection of words?”

      Whut?

        Hahaha I have a picture somewhere if you say pics or stfu.

        All sorts of wrongness in that last paragraph.

        And a downvote for not recognising Quentin and being a Utd fan…

          Jim Courier told us to fuck off while he ate spaghetti Bolognese in the players lounge after losing his round in the Dubai Open in 96. If that counts for anything.

          Kumquat fair enough kumquat.

          the lake people night wasn’t a big deal ffs. Just a bit of fun to get me out again fuckers. My wife was right there taking the piss.

              The pics aren’t happening jp. Lol.

              Say next to Salomon Kalou in a cinema after a Chelsea game about 7 years ago.

              Got called a fucking wanker by Andy Townsend at Lofus Road.

              Have urinated next to Seb Fontaine at Stamford Bridge.

                To got told to “fuck off you sweaty bastard” by Sasha at Fabric.

                  Sasha’s dad pulled me a pint at a real ale festival in Shoreditch.

                  I told zac dingle that he was my childhood hero in the toilets of the townhouse in leeds

                    rhouses I’m not sure that Manchester United’s 1999 treble-winning strikeforce of Yorke & Cole qualify as being a “really shit KLANG” but if that’s where the bar is being set:

                    I once met Jermaine Jenas and Marlon Harewood in Nottingham’s lace market.

                    And I once went to a bonfire and fireworks display with former Coventry City goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovich.

                        Smallman1 So he is capable of not pissing himself then?

                          Smallman1 I’ve also met Sasha but he was sound with me, actively came to talk to me actually.

                            PDJ True pdj, true. Got ahead of myself there.

                            I was the ‘drinks bitch’ for Mark Ronson, Diplo and Deep Dish during my internship with BPM magazine in 2005.

                              Have been in the same gym as James Cracknell, Andrew Strauss and Michael Atherton.

                              At different times.
