Re: What your most tenuous / ludicrous claim to fame ?
I went to school and was mates with Nicholas Beveney who played the Gunboat officer in Sahara with Matthew McConnoghy (sic). He was also Big Dave in the Pot Noodle advert from a few years ago.
Used to meet loads of "celebs" when my local haunt was the Sugar Lounge in Manchester, normally Corrie, Hollyoaks and Utd players.

I one more, I used to go Skiing with Eddy 'The Eagle' Edwards at Gloucester Country Club & Ski Centre when I was a nipper.
Umm, is it John C. Reilly?
Or maybe, Steve Buscemi?

Re: What your most tenuous / ludicrous claim to fame ?
you did say tenuous.
My wife has met the queen a couple of times, met prince charles, prince andrew and princess anne.
My brother was good mates with zara phillips and once got invited for xmas eve to the palace.....pillock went drinking with his mates instead.......a fact i will never let him live down.
my brother knocked out one of sheikh mo's sons a few years ago.......dont ask, its a very long story that got tony blair involved!!!!! ****ing funny tale though
I nearly crashed into sheikh mo a couple of years ago.....would have been his fault as well!
I have an unerring knack of leaving the room, being away etc when friends and family meet the so called "famous" so about as close as I've been is spilling beer all over gavin hastings at the rugby and calling scotland shite amongst other things whilst unknowingly standing behind andy nichol......he was not amused
