Been on sky sports a few times, and met a few actors who everyone knows, but not cool enough to shout about 
Had a piece of academic research published once, years ago. Not famous but was cool, well, if you're an absolute geek, which I was at that specific time. |

I was with my son when he was a young child, about 2, in an airport waiting for a flight and one of the original members of Atomic Kitten, not Kerry Katona, came over and made a fuss of my son saying how cute he was. He didn't give a shit, just carried on eating some wotsits |

"All of the above OP and yet it's no claim to fame.
I did write a report 16 years ago that I still get requests for. Maybe not fame but it'll do for me.
"
Could you tell me what it's a report for? |

I could but as it would identify me I won't. Academics across the world like it and as I'm not an academic I like that they ask for it.

Was once ranked 13th in the world at Circular Chess. The fact that the championships were held in a pub in Lincoln and only 16 people entered in no way diminishes my achievement whatsoever... |

I have a cousin who was a very famous child star (not saying who).
Also, I felt Melinda Messenger's boobs through her clothes when I was 17. Not in a creepy way, she asked me to do it but I hesitated. She then grabbed my hands and planted them firmly on her chest.
It started when I d*unkenly asked her whether fake boobs felt anything like real boobs. Sigh...I miss the 90's... |

I've been on songs of praise. I had an RE lesson from Phil Sellwel (the drummer from radioed) when I was at school. And a girl from my class at school was in the papers a few times in one year as she was appointed head teacher of a free school (primary) in London with no teaching experience. |

"I once stood behind Roy Wood at a cash machine in Sutton Coldfield, what a day that was.
I stood behind Geoff Hoon in Tescos once. Cunt."
Just to confirm, who's the cunt? Geoff Hoon or me?

Been in a tv report about Chris Boardman, I was shown building his bike.
Been in local newspapers for various charity events.
Also been on the TV in a documentary about my place of work, luckily it was a fleeting glance of me.
Was on the radio begging for a lift for the london to Brighton bike ride, after the team I was doing it with pulled out of the ride.
Apart from that never been noticed. |

I was roller skating (badly) around Sandbanks in Poole with my boyfriend when we stopped cos I was bolloxed!
A couple of guys (one was fairly good looking!) walked past with a pug type dog with short legs who looked like going round Sandbanks was hard work for him too.
I pointed out the dog and said "I know how he feels" to my boyfriend.
Boyfriend says "You know the guys with the dog were Jamie and Harry Redknapp don't you?"
Me clueless.
Apparently my boyfriend's brother went to school with Jamie and played on a local football team with him when they were kids. |

62 West Wallaby Street (not real address) |
I got to meet the England Rugby team not long after we won the world cup. I went up to Ben Cohen to ask him for an autograph and when he asked me my name so he could write it on the autograph I completely went blank. Cue a long pause then me nearly dying of embarrassment. My friend had to tell him in the end.  |

Worked on the last four Bond movies, both Tombraiders, Children of Men, Golden Compass and plenty of others.
Spent many a night outside, on a roof, having random conversations with DC
Got hammered with plenty on wrap parties
Rigged stunts for quite a few tv shows here and in Spain, umpteen setups for filming over canyons, rock faces, etc.
Far too many videos on YouTube with me on them over the last few years too... |

"I've swam the English Channel twice.
WOW "
Is it wrong to ask if you did it twice because you got there and realised you hadn't got your passport on you so had to swim back?
Seriously, huge respect for doing that! |
