What's your claim to fame?

DitzyPoo92

Have any of you got anything you're particularly well known for? Or have any of you appeared in any newspapers, magazines or on television? Or are you well known in your area for something you've done?:)

Back in the early 90's I worked for a sightseeing tour bus firm in london, was working on the south side of Trafalgar Square one afternoon when my radio informed me that I had people on their way to use my bus for a photo shoot, 2 mins later 3 black limo's pull up and out step's Pandora surrounded by security ( anyone who's not familiar with Pandora, well she was the mother of all American topless models who had the biggest **** anyone had ever seen.) Had my pic took with her on the top deck of the bus and it was published in The Sun newspaper. I sent a copy to my dad over here who had it positioned pride of place in his pub for years, he and all the locals loved it........though not as much as I did when it was taken...:D

Oh, you know who I am. You just don't know that you know who I am. And you know that... Wait - was there supposed to be a comma in there? Because I'm not sure...

I'm known locally for getting caught with a hooker when I was 16, while on a school tour. For years after, every time I met the local priest he would just shake his head and look away in disgust. Cnut should have practiced what he preached. He's more famous than I am now.

I was on the front page of the local rag (with a large circulation, in fairness) when I was like 10, for being on some CBBC show.

I played FIFA (the football game for PS3/Xbox/PC) competitively from 2006-2009 inclusive, won 4 tournaments which involved me being sent around the world to represent Ireland in World finals. Ended up going all expenses paid to London, Amsterdam, Seattle and Cologne to compete for pretty tasty cash prises (up to $20,000). Never had much success apart from London in '06 I reached the last 16. For the last year I competed, before heading to the World Cyber Games in Cologne, I was a guest on RTE's "Ice" show which was like "The Den" for teenagers. I was interviewed for about 5 mins about my gaming habits (I think saying I played 14 hours a day and hated sunlight was what they were looking for, but the reality was I played about an hour a night) and then had to do this bizarre challenge thing where one of the hosts was dressed as some weird Superhero. The idea was I would dribble past his players and score from kick off, then he would throw a hissy fit and storm off, in rehearsal it went to plan, was cringey but whatever, but in the actual live run through I dribbled through his players and put the shot wide lol, he stormed off anyway, and I sat there looking bemused as the other presenter (that blond RTE guy who did some Ice skating show) did a cut-off to The Simpsons. Was a decent laugh, my mates gave me loads of stick about missing the shot though. My cousins who were between 8-12 were watching and apparently were amazed that I was on "Ice", they treat me like a celebrity every time we have a family event. Nowadays however after word spread around Bray I just get random lads coming up to me in pubs saying "Are you that FIFA lad? I bet I would beat you." I acknowledge that they probably would and try to move on.
