Claims to fame

What are people's claims to fame out there? Alas, mine are very tenuous. Probably my best is that my uncle was good friends with Norman Pace at school, and they played hockey together. Other than that, don't really have any :frown:

Let bragging commence.

erm this has done loads of time but:

I used to know Rob Gretton to see hello to (he was the late New Order/Joy Division manager and Hacienda co-owner) his kids went to the same primrary school as me as at the same time.

I live 1/4 of mile away from Badly Drawn Boy, he is practicaly a neighbour, I've seen him about a few times.

The Bee Gee's went to the same primary school as me and were bought up on the next road.

Sir Matt Busby also lived 1/2 of a mile away from me and went to one of my local churches he also used the same barbers I go to.

I've seen a lot of corrie actors out and about.

Some guys in a bar in England thought I was famous and asked if they could have their picture taken with me.

I have signed and given away a ton of baseballs to mostly kids in the South of France, when playing in international Tournaments out there.

Being an All-Star.

My Cousin is in the same course as Rose Byrne (soon of Troy fame) at Sydney Uni. His sister is a Morrissey model. Their mother is an entertainment reporter. I go with her when im in Sydeny becuase she knows how much I love "The shining ones"

One of my best mates was in Peter Pan. As for me, well I was trapped in an Elevator with Merrick And Rosso for half an hour. And I asked a question on the Glass House.

Someone did think that I was Antonia Kidman one day though... very strange...

EDIT: Oh, my brother knows Elton Flatley.
