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!

Sarah Brightman wafted past me in Harrods years ago and lashed me with her long fur coat.

My cousin’s cousin is Pixie Lott.

My (extremely good looking) vet is sometimes on Stephs packed lunch on C4, he was on today with a cute fluffy rabbit.

I was once interviewed on BBC national news as an industry expert, I am most definitely not an industry expert, but my boss at the time refused to be on so he put me forward. I absolutely hated it.

My best friend's mum went out with the guy who cleaned John Lennon's swimming pool.

My ds went to the same nursery as Mike and Zara tindels daughter, he nearly squashed me into the fence during the parents race on sports day I didn't mind

It is because of me someone went to prison but really, it is because they did several bad things.

I used to go to a children's music group lead by Penny Smith's sister. She is very nice and very pretty.

Boris waved at me I didn't know much about him at the time. I was new to London and knew he was mayor and was vaguely aware of "amusing" stuff he did (zipwire anyone?). I'd just got off the tube at kings cross and he was just coming off the escalator. I had a vague sense of recognition thinking it was someone I knew personally so was absent mindedly staring at him trying to work out who he was he must have felt uncomfortable (!) but grinned and gave me a cheery wave before lollopping off.

I once saw ant, of ant and dec fame, walking out of the coop near where I live.
