Claims to fame

[Qwerty]

Leading on from the "interesting finds" and "best thing you have ever won" threads I thought I would start another.........what are your claims to fame (or immediate family members claim to fame to broaden it a bit).

I have a couple of personal ones but for various reasons (mainly legal) I can't mention them for a good few years yet

One I can mention though is that my Dad was the team leader of the team at Sunseeker who built the Sunseeker Superhawk boats used in the James Bond film - "The World is Not Enough". One full spec operating boat built, with another which was adapted by the special effects team, and another which was just a hull and top deck.

As Andy Warhol famously once said -"Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes"

The only semi famous person I've worked for is Marlon Harewood (ex Forest, Villa, West Ham, Newcastle). There's a fella in our town who owns a few pubs/clubs and Steve McFadden and G G Gareth Gates can be seen drinking out in town quite often, both fairly pleasant people, they must get fed up being approached constantly.

Tiled a few footballers houses over the years but not being into football I wasnt that impressed and cant remember their names....Derek Doogan was the only name I can rememeber oh Richards ? Both Wolves players. Dont think Doogan was actually playing at the time. Turned down a Steve Bull job !
I tiled the Central TV News presenters house Bob Warman. I think he has moved now and has had issues with the latest tilers who fixed to a Anhydrite screed.
Did some work for a Aussie pop star ( actually English but the No 1 was in Aussie charts) Starskee ( Jolyon Barker), Hit song was Midas Touch or My Way ...cant rememeber.
And if rumours were to be believed , back in the late 70`s my dads firm who i was with at the time did some work at a house used by Black Sabbath.
