What has been your claim to fame?

Doing 100mph around the corner at the bottom of Butser Hill (on the old A3). 500cc Suzuki.

General acclamation from at least 10 people at the scene.
 
Being thrown to the ground, repeatedly screamed at and nearly shot on a USAF base in the UK for doing exactly what I'd been asked to do. Americans really should learn how to speak English if they're planning on conversing with the public over here. :p

It's nearly a claim to fame as I went to the local newspaper with the hope of outing them, but they wouldn't touch it with a bargepole for some strange reason. ;)
 
I must be on the cutting room floor of several papparazo, as I led the Beckhams out the door at Harvey Nichols into a scrum of photographers. Never saw myself on the front page of Hello...
 
Got caught up some conker trees when me and my mates where about 10, was trying to run away but got caught by (we thought the farmer) a local newspaper reporter. well publish in the Wigan Reporter with the headline " There Bonkers Over Conkers " with a photo of us all lol
 
Used to DJ and run a record label, used to be fairly well known in the midlands hard dance scene and a bit in London, released a few tracks, about it really.
 
I met Arnold shwarzenegger when I was little (my dad did business with him) and my mum was really gutted that my little sisters didn't get on with his kids because she was hoping to have tea with Maria shriver (SP?). That and having a pint with bono while watching the rugby in our local many moons ago. So nothing of my own merit of course.
 
Princess Diana visited my primary school in 1986. I can remember it at age 7, shook hands and spoke to her but etc was too young to understand it. I would have understood/appreciated it more it was a few years later in secondary school, say like 1991 when I would have been 12/13.

Have met a few other celebs as well. Think of celebrity jungle and other reality stuff from 2004.

I walked right into David Blunkett eight years ago. He just laughed. Sadly it never made the evening paper. #FalseFlagFails

Another +1 for David Blunkett. I was at some conference where he was issuing the education white paper for 1997. Afterwards, I managed to weave my way to one of the photographers and asked him to take a photo of Blunkett with my camera. I even patted his guide dog lol :p
 
Lectured at the Royal Geographical Society to an audience which included David Attenborough and Michael Palin and then sat next to Palin at dinner afterwards. I was a bit star struck!

Was on BBC's Inside Out doing a story about me and my used tyre. Was in a few papers and on Confused.com etc.

Met loads of celebs through work but meh. Most of them are either completely normal and boring or ********.
