We all have at least one. We know somebody who knows somebody who used to date the famous guy from that TV show/rock band. Some people here on the Geek are actually famous (at least in our circles) and some people may actually be friends with proper famous people but that's not what I'm after here.

I'm looking for those extremely tenuous and completely pointless claims to fame. At some unspecified time next week (when I decide this has run it's course and when I get a chance to get online and check) I will award 10GG plus any tips this Geeklist receives to the claim to fame that I consider the most tenuous/amusing. My decision will be final. Obviously I am relying on you all to be well behaved and not tell any porky pies.

Incidentally when I thought of the idea for this Geeklist I looked to see if there were any similar ones around and found this one: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/11777 by Legomancer but I figured that was a while ago and I'd go ahead with this anyway. So sue me.

I'll start you all off with a few of my own....

Edit: I've remembered what gave me the initial idea for this list now - Chris Evans on Radio 2. Thanks Chris

I will now read through the many, many entries and will post a thread to let everyone know the winner.

In a self-referencing frenzy here is a link to the forum post where I declare the winner and my honourable mentions:
