"The Claim to Fame Thread"

Come on most people have one, what is your claim to fame, Something noticable you have done (mainly media). Ie i was on Jim'll fix it. Famous people you met or perhaps used to know. IE i used to have ballet lessons with MR T or I was in the diving club at my local pool with Jurgen Klinnsman. The funnier the better. Try to keep them true as well, I was voted most wanted man in supermodel monthly is unlikely to be believed, along with i pulled Kelly Brook. Any outrageous ones which can be backed up with evidence of some sort, such as i was the man who attacked John Prescott with photo or online news paper article will be most impressive. Obviously proof is not essential and a good (true) story is just as fun. At the end (although it probably won't happen as with most of these things) we shall try to discern who hindeed has the best claim to fame.

carry on winding yourself up. ya muppet.

Oh, I see, my apologies. :)

Did he head-butt anyone when he was leaving World Cup 2002 extremely early?

After just starting a new season on Championship manager with my local team (Stevenage) I just remembered that i used to work with one of thier reserve team players! James Taylor. He's on Champ manager.

Thats about as good as it gets...

I hit barry Norman (of Film 92 fame) in the leg with a cricket ball when I was batting. I was about 8.

My band has supported OneDice and Hundred reasons, and the guitarist plays in another band who have played with liads of people.

I posted this in the movies forum under the "guess who i saw today" thread but I'll repost it for the exposure I truly deserve:

I played cricket with Viv Richards in Antigua and all his West Indies cricketing mates. It was the coolest day of my life - cold Red Stripes in the cooler, red snapper on the barbecue, hot sunshine and the soothing noise of willow on leather. Ahh, the good old days.

Who else? I saw Scary Spice a year ago, walked past half of Atomic Kitten (they look incredibly young), served Frank Butcher ("a pack of rizlas and half an ounce of golden virginia, guvnor!") when I worked in a shop, met Kathy Lloyd and, one of the best of all, had a picture done with Jo Guest in her bikini!

But my crowning glory came when I used to work part-time in an airport - during Euro 96 I met the whole of the England team - and they even signed a football for me which is secretly guarded away at an undisclosed location. Now that was cool.

Right ok!?

Corey Taylor (slipknot)
Mick woteva (Slipknot)
The ash lead singer
Bassist out of New found glory

Cool. Who is he?

Ummm, i'm related to Tony :p

I was on...

*Get Fresh* at bristol zoo, 1988, dressed as a pencil case. I was 6 1/2

Neil Bucanon whapped me round the head when is was messing about. My delayed (and shall I say dramatic for the camera) reaction is hilarious. Takes about 5 seconds for the hit to register.

Um. I made a single with Jive bunny (and 400 other Kids)

*hides*

I've also done the lighting for a few gigs at Sheffield Uni.
The best was Soulfly.

And Paul Oakenfold spoke to me once, but I ignored him because I thought he was some random mad person.

I'll go now
