For a prank Chris Rea once refilled a number of Lemsip sachets with ground up crack cocaine and slopped them on the shelf in the House of Commons tuck shop. It's not known which politician ended up taking this remedy, although Keith Vaz started fancying men and set himself up as a washing machine salesman a few days later.

During one of those 1970s reminiscence programs
Stuart Maconie said "now, no-one likes Spacehoppers more than I do ...".
Chris Rea took this literally and flew into a rage. "I like Spacehoppers a lot more than he does" Chris posted on Reagram, his own private social media platform. "Stuart Maconie is a mere dilettante with a passing interest in Spacehoppers. My interest in them is positively unhealthy". He then posted a series of pictures of himself wearing an orange mankini posing with Spacehoppers.

If one examines the footage of the Apollo 11 landing closely one can just see a bearded man in the far distance stolling about in his budgie smugglers before entering a portaloo and disappearing.
This is, of course, Chris Rea, who was inspired to write " The Beach" by what he had seen.

In further research on recent historical events, Chris Rea took the Turdis back to the night of 27th February 1933, exactly 4 weeks after a certain former painter & decorator had been sworn in as Chancellor of Germany, as the Turdis landed next to the Reichstag, Chris went for a nosey to see what was going on in Berlin, he also had with him some old clothing that he intended to drop off at the local Cats & Dogs home charity shop in Middlesbrough Town Centre on his return (Mrs Rea had insisted) he was suddenly disturbed by a gang of men, so he ran back to the Turdis and set off home, the men went into the Reichstag and Chris was sure they were up to no good, however a huge Auberge field flame and a violent tilt set the Reichstag on fire, the charity bags fell out of the Turdis door, straight through the Reichstag roof, Chris got away by the skin of his teeth, later Adolf Hitler blamed communist agitators for burning the Reichstag down, citing arson due to old clothing found on one floor used to light the fire, leading to the execution of a young Dutch communist, Chris went on holiday to Berlin some time later, and really blushed as the story of the Reichstag fire was told as he knew the truth of what really occurred.

Chris Rea did the voice of HAL9000 for the original version of 2001.
However, Rea's gravelly tones were too difficult to understand for the US audience so the version of the film for the US market were dubbed by Douglas Rain.

Chris Rea denies that in September 1938 he set up a business in Germany called Nationaler GlaserSpatz Und Glaser GMBH, (National Glass Replacements and Glaziers) just in case, yet the money came from somewhere to fund the development of the time travelling Turdis, it was believed that Hitler was furious that he didn’t come up with the idea first.
