My friend and I were just having a highly amusing chat about his prior status as a minor sporting celebrity in his local paper - he even had pics and links from the articles 
I then started thinking about my (dubious) forays into fame… and yes, the Runner Bean costume I wore to guides definitely did make it into our local Gazette
But what are your CRAP claims to fame, my first-class forum friends? |

I was a child model. And was the face? Is that the word, I don't know I was 4. But I did the channel four TV ad for the Eurppean football championship in 1992.
That's not the end, 10 years later during p.e at secondary school someone I didn't really know told me he'd seen me on Tarrant on TV the night before.
So Chris Tarrant took the piss out of it too.

First violin in a certain orchestra when younger that performed somewhere. Made the news. Still got the newspaper clipping of me in my memories box.
Spent a couple of weeks at the Fringe shacked up with someone and helped write an award winning show through copious amounts of tequila and cigarettes and sex. I even appear in their credits with a little thanks. So proud of that one.
Made most read post of the year on a friend's very popular blog. Go me and my really dire smut writing skills. |

Went to watch the Milk Race (bike race) as a young lad in the 80s, waiting at the top of Pendle Hill in the pouring rain, a motorbike pulled up and the rider thrust a flag into my hand and instructed me to wave it as the riders crested the climb.
I was on Channel 4 coverage looking like a drowned rat, shivering my bollocks off and waving a huge flag! |

When I was 17, I organised and led a protest and boycott of a nearby Shell station, in response to Shell's involvement in the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Local papers were there to do interviews and take photos, and got in some nasty digs about 'student politics' in the write-up, but we worked in shifts and it actually shut down within the week.
Same local reporter interviewed me a year later, showering me with pointless praise when I got my A-Levels and university place. I mentioned this to him. He grinned and said 'Ah, that's how the media works.'
I learned contempt early. |

Strap yourselves in..... Helped out with a school trip to the panto. Went to speak to one of the teachers - called Rob - a few rows back and a few seats in. Said his name to get his attention to which Rob Brydon who was sitting next to him replied "Yes". I didn't recognise him cos I'm a bit unobservant like that and said "I'm not talking to you mate". He looked very dejected. Crap story for a crap spot! |

Wherever I lay my hat |
More crap entries from me with various newspaper appearances including:
Feature and pic in Grimsby Evening Telegraph after I went back from the Big Smoke to do a charity abseil off the dick tower. Particularly unflattering pic of me dangling Bo Jo style
Captured in a pic accompanying a Daily Fail article about a locally prominent sex offender. I was stood behind him chugging wine |

Been in paper myself what I find funny is how they dictate it to make it a newsworthy article and make there own stuff up and pass it off like it's facts... never got journalism |

Similar to yours, Red, but not as embarrassing haha. When I joined the cubs at just 8 years old, I was photographed for the local rag.
There I was, in my school shorts and skinny little legs in long socks, neckerchief and cap, saluting like a numpty and the whole town saw
I’ve avoided the spotlight ever since and I think that’s why I never made it big.
Ahem. |

From as early as I can remember me and my brothers were told by my Mum that David Livingstone who discovered/named Victoria falls and died following a lion attack in Africa was our great great great great Grandfather. I did school projects on him and told everyone.
Wasn't until about 5 years ago mum was doing a family tree and it turned out it was completely untrue.
My older brother has the middle name Livingstone because of that error. |

I am distantly related to Tim Curry
My Dad knew Roy Wood, I used to be friends with his daughter
My son used to fix Uli Roth's Computer when he was a manager in a computer repair shop. I walked in to drop some lunch and Uli Roth was there. My boy was oblivious as to who he was... I was told that my boy was the only person he trusted to fix his computers.

'Boy Gives Alarm' headline when I saw a plane nosedive into the sea.
I was at the dining table supposed to be writing my English essay homework but was more interested in the plane outside the window.
Best part of it was getting time off school to attend the coroner's inquest as a key witness. Sadly not so much fun for the three occupants once their steep turn went wrong. |

That bloke from the classic TV series Eldorado, Jesse Birdsall I belive his name is, tried to chat me up at a sainsburys checkout queue a couple of years back. My daughter noticed the wink and said loudly, 'Why's that funny man winking mum?'
Geoffrey from rainbow touched my bum many, many years ago in a swimming pool at a charity event...
My real claim to fame though was being in the local paper for my 15 mins of fame 'starring' on opportunity knocks in the late 70s... my act was something I'd rather forget

Always like to make someone laugh, Red. Can't lie - it is usually at me, rather than with me. My NY resolution to read before hitting send clearly needs concerted effort... Already managed to email a female work colleague this year saying 'I know you are very busty' (meant busy) |
