What's your claim to fame? *lighthearted*

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 Grin - I think we're all in need of a laugh right now!

Also my brother's fiancée's mum goes out with Simon Pegg's dad, (or my sister in law's step brother if I want it to sound better Grin).They were at Simon's 50th when a helicopter landed with Tom Cruise in. He'd arrived in the UK for the night just for the party. I asked my brother if he spoke to him, but he hadn't (and seemed to have no interest in doing so, totally not bothered!).

I was in the audience for a Bing Hitler live stand up video recording back in the 80s. Look him up, you youngsters, lol

Age 5, after playing the part of Mary, I was interviewed for local radio. I refused to speak.

I danced with Brian Tilsley from Coronation Street at the Millionaire club in Manchester and I used to catch the same morning bus to work as Phil Oakey before Human League got famous.

My sibling got invited to an after party at George Michael's house in Highgate and didn't invite me. I'm a massive fan and have never forgiven her.

I made sound effects for some characters on a PlayStation game in the 90s.

When I was learning sub aqua Anneka Rice was also training. What a rude cunt she was too, the dive leaders loathed her. She used to stand and wait for someone to carry her gear for her, until one of the trainers told her if she couldn’t carry it herself to go home.

@thenightsky I cant say or I'd be outed straight away!

I’m in at least 10 computer science /AI documentaries from the 90s. I did my PhD in computerscience, and needed to show more women in yhe field. I was the only woman in the team, so had to do every single documentary.
