Claim to Fame

kfallon · 06-11-2011 02:39PM #1

Was just wondering what all you AH'ers 'claims to fame' are (if you have any at all)

Was thinking about this and the best I can prob come up with is that I played football against Ireland & Sunderland defender John O'Shea a couple of times and I shared a few drinks with Shane Macgowan (I'm sure he recalls the night with great fondness :rolleyes:) Both pretty piss poor I know but if you start a thread you need to contribute.

I'm sure some of ye have some real good ones so lets be hearing them plz and no retorts of "OP my claim to fame is I did yore ma" eetc etc

Oh, oh I thought of another one, Biggins once thanked a post of mine :pac:

So... you don't claim the "Sneaky Finger" eh?

Was dragged into a VIP party at an anime convention in Chicago once. most of the american voice actors from full metal alchimist were there. was also opening bottles of beer with various pieces of furniture for japanese pop bands.

My God mother minds Shane Filan's (lead singer of Westlife) son. I was in the house when he was picked up, and had no idea why that prick from Westlife was there!

I also appear in this video at 1:09

I also met Mary Robinson without wearing a t-shirt (hot day).

Good on ya Tiles.

I know a family where the son has the same name as my father and the father has the same name as me!!

The IRA, or their followers, burnt out a truck of ours in the north once.

I used to see Ryan Tubridy about, before he did the Late Late. As he'd be walking down the street I'd be staring at him as he passed me with a big confused head on me wondering where I knew him while he'd be staring right back at me wondering why I was staring at him! It happened at least twice!

Da Shins Kelly · 06-11-2011 03:16PM

My Dad knew Paul Hill (of the Guilford Four) back in the day, and when I was born, he and his wife Courtney Kennedy (Bobby Kennedy's daughter) came to our house and I was held by both of them.

Yep, that's about it. I've never met anyone famous that I can recall.
