Claim to fame?
Following on from john's thread about talent, everyone has a claim to fame, how ever weak - what's yours?
Mine is that I used to go out with Joanne Catherall of the Human League.
Beat that 
cheers

I was once 10 minutes away from being the hand inside Sweep (of 'Sooty and' fame ) when his regular hand was caught in traffic......
tragically for me his regular hand just made it in time 
Looked after Rod, Jane and Freddies shopping once too.......

My vague claim to fame is having driven the bond Aston from The World Is Not Enough. The one with the rockets in the front and the tuned V8. And in
the same evening I was doughnutting the first post production ( I think that's the right phrase anyways) Aston V8 in a field car park at the
Goodwood Revival with a completely random passer by as a passenger. Which I then drove over a wooden peg and ripped the under tray off of.
Oh, and I met Prof Heinz Wolf once at school.

I went to the same school as Darth Vadar (the guy who wore the stuff, not the voice)
and I once saw Neil Kinnock picking up Glennys at Heathrow terminal 4
and my wife saw Jimi Hendrix playing live (and she's younger than me!)

Got a blue peter badge for coming runner up in a competition as a kid.
Around 20 years ago I did VR/telepresence demos on both Tomorrows World and Richard and Judy (hidden behind their sofa just in case the computer
needed a reboot).
Followed that up by programming a 7dof robot for a BNFL advert - indian dancers around the arm which was bolted to the top of a small knoll
overlooking Ennerdale Water in the lake district if anyone can remember it.
These days I work with Nick Frankau (Flt. Lt. Carstairs from Allo Allo).
Not managed to boink anyone famous though.
Edit: Almost forgot, got to shake Phil Winsors hand when he came to open the research centre I was working at.

met Noel Edmonds and was star struck (i was about 6 at the time)
Went to college with the Verve (year above me)
Cousin has acted in Casualty (Uncle had walk on part covered in blood)
Brother writes computer games (Actua Soccer, Sega Super Stars Tennis, Outrun conversion, errm, eer - i should know more)
I know where NS Dev lives
Friend was on hero or zero as the technical consultant - the film crew described him as the maddest person they'd met!
Friend did the web sites for Aston (until recently) and i used to do independent QC testing for her as a favour (aka does this work on your
computer?)
I helped nasa send the mars rover to .... errm, Mars (got a certificate for my involvement as well!)
Yeah ok, rubbish claims to fame.
(edited as i got one of my bro's games wrong)
