Claims to FameRob 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?

Once my dad was trying to sell a house to this coupleand he brought me along when he was showing them round. I had no idea why, I was only about 9 so couldn't exactly sell the idea of buying it to them. Anyway, after a little while I start to get this nagging suspicion that I know these people from somewhere. Eventually I tugged on my dad's sleeve when I got the chance and said "Dad, *is* that Cilla and Artie?"
It was the fucking SINGING KETTLE!!! I sort of went speechless when I realised, I knew all their videos/tapes/books off by heart when I was wee. Apparently they got that reaction a lot. We later moved into that house and for the next 9 years it was my real claim to fame: "The Singing Kettle have been in my house!"
Oh, I met Wizadora a few years back at a party of a family friend. Nice lady, lives in Devon :)
