Has anyone here got any claims to fame?'

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Not sure that's strictly a claim to fame though.
Well, I ended up sat next to Tony Blackburn in the visa processing queue at the US Embassy. :oyea:

My wife and I walked into a lift just as Eartha Kitt was walking out with her entourage of Black miniature poodles.


This was in the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood in 1995.

She was the star turn at the Cabaret Bar which was attached to the front of the hotel. It was called the Cinegrill or some such. Any way this was about 10.00 am and she looked FABULOUS darling.

I also saw Sam from Quantum Leap (Scott Bakula?) at the same place in 2000 when we stayed there again.

Persuasive girl I was with blagged us backstage passes at an Oasis gig in Grenoble in '96. Liam came down absolutely shit-faced and started pointing at me shouting 'Giggsy, Look, it's Quentin Fookin' Taranteeeeeeenooooooooo!' (a regular if unflattering comparison in those days). He then sat down and was unfailingly polite discussing the fact that we'd drawn with City that day, and how he liked Bolton fans because they weren't Utd fans.

A frequent mistake in our house. Only one letter difference between mk1 and mk2 so its an easy mistake to make. My wife, on the other hand, has no such excuse but that doesn't stop her calling me by a variety of former partners names :roll:

My gf when she was at uni turned down an up-and-coming act's frontman when he asked her out after a small gig.

This was in Sheffield... and he's now worth £10m.

She must wonder where it all went wrong.

A uni friend of mine was an unused substitute in an FA cup last qualifying round for Gateshead in 2008. They lost 3-2 away at Droyslden, the manager put it down to a weak bench.
''Amazing! Out of nothing Bolton are level. A quick throw, Kevin Nolan keeps play alive in the box and finds Kevin Davies on the left who lashes a shot under Oliver Kahn.''
