What is your claim to fame?

**HBK** · 07-08-2010 11:32 PM

It can be anything and doesn't even have to be you, just your connection to fame, wide-spread publicity or anything on a grand scale. I'll get you started with a couple of examples and seeing as we have some members who have competed in big contests I think there'll be some good ones.

-I got Robbie Brookside's (a former British Wrestling champion) autograph at a wrestling show a few years ago. He stared hard at me for a while, maybe he thought he recognised me or maybe he realised I was that single fan who was cheering the bad guys at this tiny, tiny show.

-My dad has played Cliff Lazarenko, John Lowe and Eric Bristow at darts back when the sport was huge in the country.

Come on, add your own. It's only a bit of fun.

BDFPA Scottish Division

A few days ago I found my 215kg deadlift video as a link on the new Scottish BDFPA website.

Jude Law trod on my girlfriends foot at a Radiohead concert. He had the extremely fine Lily Cole with him too.

Everyone round here has some vague Kelly Brook connection. I went to school with her cousin, and used to go drinking with a girl who was Kelly's ex-best mate and did theatre stuff with her... and was now very bitter that Kelly made it big, and she was a barmaid.

I witnessed a friend once do something truly disgusting to Rik Waller (remember him?) without him realising in a nightclub bar. It involved bodily fluids.
