What's your claim to fame? *lighthearted*

[BadlyDrawnSimpsonsCharacter]

Inspired by an article I've just read online whilst waiting for my train, AIBU to ask...what is your claim to fame? The weaker the claim the funnier, such as "I dated Margaret Thatcher's cousins drama tutor" e.g. But any will do.

I'll go first. I served Gary Cahill (footballer) once as a waitress; he came into the budget restaurant I worked at...and didn't even foot the bill!

A bit of a silly post I know, but the article I read had me giggling. If this post makes at least one person giggle that would be great - I think we're all in need of a laugh right now!

My picture was used to illustrate the local weather forecast in 1983 and I got chatted up by Bill hicks once.

I once had a conversation with Noel Edmunds about meeting Frank Bruno on Wimbledon Common.

@tainot I went to university with one of them

Oh, also. I was in the same form at school with a girl who went on to be the England womens football captain, and another girl who is a model and UFC ring girl, whose entire online presence has her age as five years younger than she really is.

Stood behind Sid Owen at the bar in a nightclub in Bath. He was an utter twat all night. Very 'do you know who I am', but deeply unimpressed when people responded 'Riiiiiiiiickaaaaaaaaay' to illustrate that yes, they did know. I mean, what else he is known for, what did he expect?

And my cousin was engaged to the snooker player Mark Williams, until she decided that she was a lesbian a broke up with him. That's extra tenuous as I've never met that cousin (she is a first cousin).

Oh and Bez from Happy Mondays asked me for a rizla once.

Oh and another. Used to be friends with a family when I was little and one if the sisters became one Betty Boos backing singers.

My sister and I had our photo taken with Bruno Brooks when he opened the local Prossers back in the early 90s. Also Danni Minogue came to my senior school, I was with my friends at the front of hall where she was singing. She was lovely but None of us knew who she was at the time.

Hmmm did you go to a secondary school that starts with ‘R’? If not, DM came to my school too!

I was in the same dance competition as Emma Watson. Never been so starstruck.

My cousin went to school with Maisie Williams.

Also I was behind James Cordon in a queue once

This is a good grasping at straws one... Boy I used to play with as toddler, families lived next door and kept in touch after we moved away, he ended up being mates with Christian Bale at school. I remember my mum saying " apparently x's friend at school has been cast in a Steven Spielberg film"

I once made some of the Chelsea football squad shove over in a hotel lift. My DH was very embarrassed (I had no idea who they were). I was very pregnant and hungry and not about to wait for the next lift.

My grandparent in laws are good friends with Theresa may. She sent me and dh a wedding card and a bottle of good champagne.

It's funny cause both me and dh hate her (wouldn't be outrightly rude to her, and we kept the champers!)

Once queued behind Jack Ryder (Jamie from Eastenders) in Nandos!

My grandad wrote the Country Code

Oh and Kit Harrington from Game of Thrones once passed out on my sofa. (This was pre-fame, my housemate went to drama school with him)

My eldest child once fell out of a trolley sideways and Sir Alex Ferguson picked him up.
I lost my youngest child (briefly) in the Princess Diana playground and found him in the pirate ship well looked after by Kate Hudson

I played in a band with Kate Winslet dad, face painted Mike Catt's daughter, said hi to Robson Green, been interviewed by the little sports guy from BBC breakfast (it wasn't shown, my dd was)

A child I mind has a school friend who is in the Lego Christmas advert.
The Krankies used to live down the road from me

I queued behind Boy George in Sainsbury's. He was buying a lot of vegetables.

Have 2 ‘claim to fame’s’. First is that myself and a friend where propositioned by Mungo Jerry when we were 15, at Bligh’s. We asked for his autograph after a gig and he asked if we wanted to go out the back for ‘a midnight special’. We declined!!
Also my history teacher was Merlin Minshall who was the inspiration for James Bond, also the first man to ride a motorbike over the Sahara desert, among his many feats. If you google him you will find he had a amazing life

I’m fourth cousins with the royal family (oh and should add, 4 times removed ...!)

I once danced on stage in the west end with Lorraine chase.

Bill Oddie once bought a pair of earrings from my mum.1

I'm in the movie 'it's all gone Pete Tong'.

I didnt think i had any until i read other peoples

I once snogged an Apprentice candidate (back when we were teens).

Ive worked with Steve Coogan’s brother. Really lovely man.

I had my photo taken with the Chippendales for the local paper when i worked as a waitress, back in the 90’s.

2 of my lot are in a Justin Bieber annual
Stood next to Jamie Oliver & didn't notice , friends young D told us after the had gone!
Stood behind Rory Bremner in Hamleys toy shop one Christmas
Had an argument with Justin Bieber's bodyguard as he pushed me, didn't know who he was though, He was a total git and was right in my face when I challenged him about not apologising.
