My claim to fame is that, for the briefest of moments in 1981, I was officially the youngest person on the planet.

What's your claim to fame?

If I'm right, you were also at one point the youngest person on the planet. But beating up Bruno wins.

I was once on Saturday Superstore as a kid. I was also once in a pub in Edinburgh in the 90's having a beer with some buddies on a Saturday afternoon and there were these two guys next to us with a guitar and they kept cracking into some singing which got pretty annoying after a bit so one of my mates shouts over 'Oi, can you two knock that off, we're trying to have a blether over here!'...I'm sure the Proclaimers won't remember that incident nowadays!

Oh yeah, almost forgot...I got a few abusive tweets from Gregg Wallace after telling him I thought he'd pulled some 'this is my show and I'm not playing' stunt after the professional Masterschef had joint winners about five years ago.

Apparently it wasn't fixed. At least that's what i took his tweets to mean!

Not exactly a claim to fame but have bumped into quite a few celebs in town during the festival over the years,the 2 I remember most are the Eastenders......

'Nasty' Nick Cotton on Princess St....noticed him but didn't want to shout out "Heyyyy,Nasty Nick!" as it's a bit of a cliché....so shouted his real name (John),waited till he turned round and then shouted "Heyyy,Nasty Nick!"

Got a smile for my trouble

The guy who played Sanjay wasn't as amused when I greeted him in a thick cockney accent....."Awwwhite Saaaanj"....if looks could kill!

Not really sure, I'd never heard of it until I walked into a shop and the shop keeper told me I'm famous and handed me a copy of said "Digger" ha ha. It's some underworld / crime publication which covers criminals/gangsters in Glasgow. Think it comes out monthly? At least I think that's what it is....
