Met somebody famous? Been retweeted five hundred times? Featured on the tv? No matter how small or big, what is your 'claim to fame'?

Meeting the queen I guess?
and I met Nikki graham :love:
Made a couple of major tv appearances; was once featured on an episode of Escape to the Country walking down a street, and I also made the highlights of an England-Australia cricket match once, pretty big stuff
In terms of people I've met then Brian Lara was the best one, it was in a random bar which was dead apart from us and he came over to talk to us, started saying something about Aston Villa to me until he realised it was a West Ham shirt I was wearing. We were all a bit merry though and none of us were sure it was him, my friend even refused to let him sign his shirt thinking he was a lookalike lol. But after he left it turned out it was and all the locals said he came there quite a bit, was a bit annoying

I was in a pub once when dean Gaffney from eastenders was in the same pub and the staff wanted him to go in the vip area but he was happy to stay in the main bar.

I live in the same town as Keane and went to the same school as them, regularly see them wondering around town and they often do small shows here for the locals which is quite cool.. my doctor is the father of the keyboard player too. Not sure how this is my claim to fame but its as exciting as things get for me. Also spent the day with Tiff Needall once on a London to Brighton drive.
I got quoted in The Times last month when they ran an article on the National Trust Big Brother house tour launch

My letter was in Heat once and in the old editor's book. I've met Jason Orange on a bench which is basically a story I tell every day. I've also met Olly Murs, James Phelps(Fred off Harry Potter), Steve Peacocke(Brax from Home and Away), Luke Mitchell(Romeo from Home and Away) and Josie. Half my face is on a Take That DVD and the back of my head was on ITV.
Twitter wise, Kerry Washington retweeted me and I've been tweeted by a good few celebs, my favs being Caroline Flack, Howard Donald and Gary Barlow.

Had a long conversation with someone who produced Beyonce's album (4) and he gave me his contact details because I said that I want to get into the music business.

My other claim to fame was when I was about 7/8 years old and I wrote a really long message to the girls aloud fan club and they sent me a personal reply with goodies and a "No Good Advice" poster
