Hey guys, just thought this would be an interesting topic. What is your claim to fame?

I dont really have one which is annoying. My claim to fame can be i live right near where part of the Da vinci code is just being filmed. So i might be in the background somewhere! My cities cathedral (lincoln) is being used along with Westminster abbey.

heres a pic of it.

Whats your claim to fame?

So is tom hanks in that movie or what? I've heard rumors he is, but no ones ever actually comfirmed it.
Anyways my claim to fame is I'm better than you all. That should be enough.

My Dad used to be friends with Robert Daltry of The Who, as in genuine friends. He'd go round his house and such. Both used to live in the same town

I've been in two episodes of Viva La Bam, if seeing the top of my head in a sea of people counts[:D]. I was at the Mall of America the day they shot the episode where they spent 24 hours in the mall, and they also shot the CKY concert that Phil and Don Vito "sang" at. (I don't know if anyone else actually watches this show though so maybe noone has any clue what I'm talking about.)

I was at a live taping of WWE Smackdown (no pictures from it though because we had crappy seats, [:(]), but it was the episode a while back when Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo where still a tag team and they staged a "gay marriage" that Eric Bischoff ended up crashing. I've also seen my favorite wrestler David Batista live, that was just this year in January. I had good seats then, just seven rows from the ring. I can certainly die a happy woman! [:D]

strange, thats the name of both my mothers schools as well ... St. Judes Junior School and St. Judes Infant School.



I crowd surfed at an Arch Enemy gig and got to the stage just as the song ended so Angela Gossow (lead singer) was looking right at me, that was until the fat ass security guy pretty much threw me off to the side of the stage [lol]

I've met quite a lot of the Wolves FC players before as well, but so has everyone in Wolverhampton [lol]

I live in the village where they hold the annual "IronMan" contest thingy, that has competitors from all round the world entering it and its always on channel 5 when it happens, albeit at like 2 in the morning [lol]

HAHA! that is really funny...

St. Jude is the Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes. Befor the hospital was built, Cancer in a child was a hopeless cause, but that has changed thanks to Danny Thomas!

Anyways, What type of schools are they, Boarding?
