I’m always entertained by the claim to fame posts that pop up every now and then. But is there anyone on here that has a real claim to fame?
Have some of you worked on our favourite tv shows? Written books that everyone loves? Produced songs that have topped the charts?
I’m intrigued to see which creative types we have on here...
Speak up with your true claim to fame! No need to reveal your identity.

I have a claim to fame but within a very small circle, material scientists.
I devised a new method of detecting corrosion in aircraft airframes, that traditional methods can't pick up. |

I was on the Jerry Springer Show. I was only in the audience but it was front row next to Steve and had loads of fun and a great veiw on this woman's knickers. The episode used to be on YouTube. |

That’s an awesome claim! Inventing new technology and saving lives all at once, whoa |

"I once appeared in the New York Times. Well, my hand and the top of my head did..."
I once featured on the front of the NY Times and had a full page article and web interview  |

"I have manned the sound desk at small local venues, for some large artists including Stiff Little Fingers, Eric Bell(from thin lizzy) and TenPole Tudor..

I see Ed Tudor-Pole in the park.
I used to be a contender. |

My college tutor when I studied cabinet making was a real hippy loved wood and taught us how to respect it. His name was Peter Dines also known in the 1970s as Dino Dines he was the keyboard player with T Rex and Marc Bolan one of my fav bands was great talking to him about the band and the music. |

"I got tremendously d*unk with the UK subs after a gig. Woke up next day at home with no clue how I got there..."
Done that many times. Got home and didn't know how I got there. Must have been the beer scooter. |

I was in the local paper for my gcse results. But didn't get asked to be in the photo nor did the other lad who also got mentioned. Instead they asked all my white mates who got less impressive exam results. Whitewashed  |

I was an extra in the Wesley Snipes film
The Contractor. They filmed the “Police Department interior shots” at my then workplace.
I (and many others) was background staff in an Iain Robertson scene. Myself and a friend had our pic taken with him (he was lovely!).
You don’t see us in the film, but we had a good time and it was fun. Made me appreciate how long it took for a film to be made - there is shitloads of waiting around, our small bit of the film took many, many hours to film. Got paid £50 too!

I've just remembered something. I went to a Manic Street Preachers gig in Norwich in the early 90's and me and my friend ended up sitting next to the lead singer Richie (the one that went missing). I told him I liked his lipstick and thought he was the coolest man I'd ever seen  |

I have a cousin who was quite famous and had a lead role in one of the primetime soaps for a few years and was also in a popular sitcom.
I also have a cousin who is quite infamous and was front page news on more than one occasion. I was mistaken for him on a night out once, it's really not a good place to be in, given his misdemeanors.
I'm the opposite of famous, even my neighbour of some ten years standing can never remember my name.
