We know that there are a number of famous people who have homes around Carvoeiro, Lagoa, Silves and Porches - I wonder if any of them visit this site, I wonder if any of them are members . . . are you out there right now?

Also, not on the same scale, do any of you have "claims to fame", obviously MC is 'huge' in the Backgammon world but what about the rest of you?

This particular guest must have been dipping into a couple of Bagaceiras before (s)he logged on

There is a famous german singer who lives on the outskirts of town. He is called Udo Jürgens.

Like most famous people down in the Algarve, he would rather nobody knew when and where he is in the Algarve.

what about my dad Biffa, he's quite famous

Has anyone seen a "famous person" in town?
We saw Les Battersby (Coronation st) at the Almansor.
Wow weren't we lucky !!!!

When we lived in Lagoa,I took over a garden near Porches from person who'd played tennis with Cliff Richard.
Does that count? Its very 'second hand'!
Oh..I met & shook hands with the late Princess Margaret..I was about 11-12yrs old. I was representing my church!
Yeah..I know...don't really go with the image does it
Maybe this doesn't count either

My 'Claims to Fame' are all a bit suspect but here goes!

Golden Balls once passed me a tin of tuna in Tesco's (being little I couldn't reach of course!!)
I kissed Rod Stewart, although I'm not sure he noticed,
and Sinead Cussack and Alex Furguson are regulars in my local Sainsbury's.
Sorry not very impressive

Then there was that World famous Fado singer who died that was advertised on this board,NEVER HEARD OF HER OR HAD THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD.LOL.

I ALSO KNEW ROB OF SCUBBIE DOO'S.

THEN THERE WAS ANGUS MECAPUP,GOOD DRINKER.

So that was his name 'Rob'..was always trying to lure us in there

I reckon I know who Guest and Guest 2 is. What about that nonsense a few years ago when Don Whats his name from The Eagles was supposed to be in town and using Whispers (now Jailhouse). Didn't look anything like him but still earned him a few drinks!

Yours truly was on Sky Sports football phone-in on Monday night. The single greatest moment of my life.
