Anyone with a claim to fame?

[SMEE]

Wondered if anyone here had a claim to fame of any sort. My one is....one night in The Glen pub, I was getting on rather well with a gal who both myself and my mate reckon was the rather lovely Jenny Falconer(of GMTV fame). Was getting on well till her freind got all mumpy and moany and wanted to go home :008:

[CaleyD]

That old trick  :014:

Does being able to neck a pint in under 2 seconds count as a claim to fame?

Ach - its an old one but it can be verified.

Went to a Malta game many moons ago with the Tartan Army - I had to take the missus who has never gone again.  :023:

Anyway I had to take her to this posh Chinese - She is complaining that we havent had a minute to ourselves and warns me if anybody else comes in I am to ignore them.  :009: I went to the bar fer a quick double and there was Rod Stewart - had a quick chat and he bought ma drink.

Back to the table - a quick chat - ordered the meals - quaffed the drinks and I go back fer a refill.

Quick thinking IHE - I get Rod a double malt and ask fer his assistance - he laffs and agrees.

Ten minutes later me and Mrs IHE are getting stuck into the main course - in walks Rod and his minders.

"OOHHH - Its rod Stewart - the Mrs croons and swoons

I shout - "Hows it goin Rod" he replies "Not bad Johndo - hows yerself"

I put the thumbs up and the Mrs is gobsmacked.  :rotflmao:

Five minutes later - after multiple questioning - Rod comes over and says "And who is this beautiful woman Johndo ?"

And I say - " Feck aff Rod - we are trying to get some privacy"

Ya should have seen her face  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

But Rod sat down thereafter, paid fer the meal and all the drinks - Stoopid english *******.

[Guest couchpotato]

Many moons ago i was a keen and regular member of the tartan army and followed the Scotland team all over.I was much younger at the time and as fashion dictated i had a longish feathered hair cut and having a fairly large conk was often getting mistaken for Rod Stewart.

One trip to Malta i decided to go for a chinese meal and was accosted by a pissed Invernesisan convinced i was Rod Stewart and unwilling to take no for an answer.He asked me to join in a prank on his wife and since he bought me a large dram i agreed but couldn't go through with the wind up and told his good lady what was going on while he had stumbled of to the toilets.She said "ach , just humour the old goat and i'll pick up the tab for the drinks and food out of his wallet,just let him think you paid for it" after the meal i listend to his incoherent ramblings for a while before heading into town for more drams,I'm sure to this day he still believes he spent an evening with Rod Stewart.  :sillywave:

Every year I'm lucky enough to be invited to play golf with a group who have a fixture at the exclusive Swinley Forest club near Ascot.  How this fixture came about is a story in itself which I won't go into now. The club apparently has only a couple of hundred or so members, and does not accept visitors except when playing with a member.

A few years ago I scored my first ever hole in one there on the 17th hole. Thrill enough.  The following year at this venue the 4 ball I was in was surprised to see a 2 ball following us with what looked like a couple of spectators following them.  Seeing anyone else on the course whilst we were there was a rarity in itself. By the time we had reached the 17th the 2 ball had caught us up and were putting out on the adjacent 16th green as we teed off on the 17th.  We were surprised to see that it was Prince Andrew playing with a woman (we later found out was a quite well known lady professional golfer) and escorted by two security men. 

So my (nearly) claim to fame is that ,had it been exactly a year earlier, Prince Andrew would have seen my hole on one.

Met Harry Rednapp at our kids footy tournament in Weymouth couple of years back, great bloke, it was announced that Harry would have to leave soon as he had other commitments Harry wasn't having none of it and stayed after chatting to kids and adults alike, a year later we had Ray Clements totally the opposite,complete t**t couldn't get away quick enough, it was promised he would sign autographs for the kids at the end of presentation he disappeared out the back door.

Harry, I wonder if he fancies relocating to Inverness?

With the Viking Clan Gunn having more branches than you can shake a stick at, Northern Jaggie, I fear that your first task would be to determine which lineage to follow. From my past lives I recall that this name is significant for the fact that somewhere in the past it featured a big Norwegian chief having come down from the Orkneys to spread his wings into Northern Scotland to escape the fights with all his relatives for land. So let us know how you get on then? :crazy07: Fascinating stuff though. What is your surname N.J.

[Drochit Blue]

the boozer I used to frequent before Man City matches was one used by Ricky Hatton. He used to sup Guinness by the dozen if he wasn't training for a fight. Nice bloke too, would chat to anyone, but he was so small you'd never guess he was a world champ boxer

[jaggedthistle]

My only claim to fame is that my second cousin used to play rugby for Scotland!

[Scotty]

Played football in the same 5-a-side team as both Roy Aitken and Bobby Lennox on separate visits to "Butlitz" in Ayr on childhood holidays. Celtic had the contract for providing one player at the end of each week for an 'exhibition' game and I was lucky enough to be chosen in the exhibition squad on two occasions  :003: Roy Aitken was a young player at the time and Lennox was there the second time as the main squad was playing in Europe that week.

Was a published poet at the age of 9 !!! seriously !!! Wrote a poem in primary school that was published in a local schools poetry book. Something about a fisherman patiently waiting for that first bite .....

Was a guest on "on the ball" and "off the ball" with Tam and Stuart the weekend after that Celtic game

Met various "Corrie" characters here in Toronto over the last couple of years - The guy that played Les Battersby, the actress that played Eileen Grimshaw and outside the Toronto FC stadium the guy who played Tommy the mechanic who got murdered (who was here filming a series called Inspector Murdoch mysteries).

Bumped into "Colin and Justin" at one of the Home Improvement shows here in Toronto

and of course, the biggest claim to fame .... being smart enough and lucky enough to support ICT !!!
