My Five most Obscure Claims to Fame
October 11, 2012 - 9:25 pm
Have you ever met someone famous and think that that makes you in some way famous? I haven’t, so here are my five most obscure claims to fame.
- I once rented a room from someone who had Pearl Jam’s chef in his car. This is what gave me the idea to do this and is possibly the weakest claim to fame that anyone could have with three degrees of separation.
- For sixth form, I went to the same school that Josie Long went to. I may have even sat on the same chair as she did, but she’s not very famous and thousands of other people went to the same school.
- My Dad once met Roy Walker from Catchphrase. Apparently, he has a tattoo on his arm and smokes Silk Cut cigarettes, which my Dad says every time we watch Catchphrase. My Dad has met a few famous people and whenever they come up on TV he always tells a story about them. He’s got a great story about how he leant Patrick Mower from off of Emmerdale a pen to sign autographs.
- I have edited the Web-site of Nicky Moore. I have the password to his website. I could go in there and delete everything if I wanted. You know? Nicky Moore from off of the Samson band?
- My Granddad was the mayor of Dartford. This is probably my favourite claim to fame, even though I didn’t exist when he was mayor and Dartford is rubbish anyway. It used to be good when he was in power – back when he abolished all taxes and made cocaine legal. If he actually had had that power and done that, this would be a reasonable claim to fame. In reality, he probably just opened a youth club or something.
