Do you have a claim to fame - no matter how tenuous?

Just for fun! Ok, mine is that my stepdad is a friend of the man that bought out The Cheesecake Factory, making it what it is today. What's yours?

I've been on tv .. I was at a NASCAR race in Phoenix this year and I was on tv stood with the #4 race car before the race and then during the race when I was sat on the pit box . Some friends watching back in England spotted me.

Then about 10 yrs ago I was interviewed by speed tv at the race of champions in Paris for a NASCAR programme shown in the USA which a friend saw when she was on holiday there .

I/ we have some friends in NASCAR that are pretty well known more so in the USA than here and we are friends will Ally who is the daughter of Rick from the American / Ricks restoration programme .

Mine is fairly tenuous. One of my best friends is sister in law to Helen McCrory and Damien Lewis.

My nan babysat Diana Dors. My dad toured with Shakin' Stevens -although not sure that is a claim to fame! - (my dad used to be a professional drummer) and he knew the band 'Showaddywaddy', he was nearly in it! I was in the same local dance group as Billie Piper. I went to school with Jonathan Wilkes' (Robbie William's BF) wife. Ok I think that's it!

As a child I was in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Jason Donovan in London. Was on the Des O'Connor through that too.

My grandpa played on the soundtrack for Star Wars and lots of other films as well as pop songs too. Now he's not around any more I love hearing music with him playing as it makes me think that he's left some great things behind.

My husband and his band played the same gig as Bleed From Within!
Also, my cousin is the driving force behind a band called The Pearlfishers, who do have a decent following though I bet most of you will be thinking- 'Who? Never 'eard of 'em!' But would it wow you if I told you he wrote songs for Balamory? And, he also did a fabulous animation for STV, which was used in the early 90's at Christmas time- pen, ink and colour style, with angels flying round a christmas tree at one point if memory serves.

I used to go to top if the pops quite often. Three of us were chosen to sit on the edge of the stage ( we were dressed in short black skirts and a different colour silky roll top). We had to sway and wave our hands in the Air to Tina Charles singing I love you love.! .

I thought I was the bees knees

I beat Mo Farrah in the London marathon, as I finished and he didn't 😝
