This is a question Claims to Fame

Rob writes, "My photoshop claim to fame: the way the crop tool greys out the rest of the image? That was my idea. I sent it to the Abobe features request thing back in ooh probably about 1998. (After spending a frustrating day cropping images for a dull
website, and wishing the tool worked better.)"

What crappy claims to fame can you make?

Someone mentioned Adam Rickett.
My school spawned Will Carling, (met him at the time that he was alledgedly shagging Di) and "Dave the Photographer" (aka Dave Flint) from Chris "objectional bastard" Moyles's Show on Radio 1.

Dave used to be one of fellas who worked around a house in the school... perfectly nice bloke, just a wee bit slower than the rest of the sloth population: famous for conversations such as this...

"Hey dave, got any forks?"
"No, Got no knives, just forks"

Also famous for riding his bike EVERYWHERE and his enthusiastic "hiya", Dave could be greeted (while riding his bike) with a cheery wave and "hiya Dave" which would be faultlessly reciprocated.

I'll never forget watching someone mean enough to wave with both hands as he rode towards them.... Dave was unable to ride with no hands.. Dave crashed.

throughout the school, the phrase "Hiiya" was synonymous with "you COMPLETE 'tard"

Oh yeah... Rickett... I was sat at Uni watching Corrie... (god knows why), and suddenly I spat my coffie out... Adam Rickett on screen. in Bed. Six-pack and all.

Flummoxed me a tad... as HE also went to my school. I remember sitting next to him in GCSE english classes.

Purely un-remarkable, and in no way a claim to fame. I seem to remeber that dispite nearly everyone at that school being a spoilt, stuck -up arse-wipe, Adam was actually an OK guy, and a fekking BRILLIANT fly-half in rugby. (rah rah)
Apparently he's a star in the US... no surprise there.
