What's your tenuous claim to fame?

I once played football with Kevin Keegan. Was in the early eighties (I was 10 at the time) when he was playing at Newcastle. They were sponsored by Newcastle Brewery at the time and they ran a competition to play football with him. I was one of the winners.

I got in a fight once with some boys from Stowe School who were out in town (I grew up in Buckingham), my mate Bob hit Engleburt Humperdincks son with a milk bottle during the fracas

Should have kidnapped him.

...I used to work in Spain for awhile and met Frank Bruno and Ronnie Knight.....I'd forgotton about them until this thread appeared.

...I've also met Donald Duck in Disneyland.

I met Frank Bruno too. He came to open a shop where I worked. He called me Boss, which was nice.

He paid his minders from a briefcase in the boot of his Bentley Turbot.

I once sat next to the bloke who lived next door to the woman whose sister was married to the cousin of a bloke who worked with a man who said he thought he was related to another bloke who caught a cold from a virus which had been up the nose of a famous person.

My Dad's best friend's mum worked as a secretary to Charles Lindbergh.

One of my pals claimed he shagged Sonia (late 80's SA&W singer - ginger, scouser, annoying), another guy I know claims he shagged Nell McAndrew and another of my pals was told to **** off by Frank Bruno when he was appearing in Its a Knockout.
One of my exes was a page 3 girl in the early 90's. During her extremely brief modelling career.

 

[papercorn2000]

Another of my exes used to be baby-sat by Billy Connelly.

Age 13 thru 16, I made super 8 films with Peter Jackson, he of 'Lord of The Rings' etc. One was shown on the NZ equivalent of 'Blue Peter', a program called 'Spot On'.

Edit: My mum knew the aforementioned Englebert.

Scott Gorham from Thin Lizzy bought me a drink once.
Elvis Costello trod on my toe and apologised "sorry love".
I bought Nick Lowe a pint when he was broke.
The Damned wrote a song about me - I'm the "Stretcher case baby".
I also know the "Problem Child" (also a Damned song)
Boris Johnson slagged me off in a newspaper article once but more recently added me to his long list of apologies - Liverpool, Portsmouth, some island in the far east and me...
I once mistook Robert Plant for Jimmy Page, if looks could have killed I would have been a pile of smouldering ashes.

My dad went to school with "big" Ron Atkinson.

But most tenuous would be my son's best mate's mate was a member of the boy band that was put together on last year's X Factor

I know Nick Cave's sister - I met her in Tonga when I was teaching there doing VSO, and she was an Australian volunteer.
