If you get bored easily......DO NOT READ THIS THREAD !!!! I was bored and thats why I wrote it !!

What's your Claim to Faim ? Do you have one ? Do you have many ? Here are my top 11 !.....(tried to make it 10 but it just is 11)

1. My Great Uncle invented the first Black clothes dye that doens't wash out in water !! He's a proffessor at Cambridge University. Unfortunately he didn't patent it. Otherwise by now we would be rich rich rich! huhh.

2. My Great Aunty was Sue Pollard's English teacher.....(A famous woman, but Sara and others will know what an annoying woman she is, with the most terrible english dialect!)

3. My Grandfather was GIVEN a mountain in Tanzania as a gift !!! He was there on some missionary thing many many years ago, and there was this tribe of people who's cattle were really sick. My Grandfather (being a farmer) gave them advice of how to cure them, and told them to put them high on this 'ere mountain. so they did and the cattle got better !! So they named the herd after my Grandfather and gave him the mountain as a gift. We have the deeds for it, - It says that it's ours from the valey on one side to the river on the other, from the sumit at the top, right down to the centre of the earth !! but my humble mother says that missionaries were not aloud to accept gifts from the tribes and that we should not claim it. Now we could be rich rich rich. huhh.

4. When I lived in Israel, some friends and I got kicked of a kibbutz, and for a time I was living on the beach in Telaviv !! One morning we got woken up by the police and told to move. To my suprise there were huge crowds and as I looked up in a daze , who should be absailing down the skyscraper the other side of the road but ARNOLD SCHWARTZNIGER (spelling?). . . he was there to open the new Planet Hollywood restaurant on the beach, and in all the comotion I got on the wrong side of the red tape and him and his body guards came pushing through and I touched his huge, masculine, muscley........Arm (now now Shanazel stop it !!). and he smiled to me. It was ok but I was gutted that it wasn't VAn DAm

5. I used to teach Fouad El Mohandes' granson at a school in Sakara, Egypt. He's a very famous oldtime comedian in Egypt and anyway I said to his granson one day, get me a signed picture of your grandfather and I'll give you not one star but 4 stars in your book !! and he did. Not only that he also brought his grandad to the school gates to meet me !! Embarrassing when the man himself said 'now miss Joy, forget the stars, my grandson deserves to be head boy of class' !!! oops. I'll try to dig out the picture.

6. My late father was a farmer but also a racing driver of vintage cars. He used to do them up and race them, and he was loved by many many people. Now there is a yearly race held in my fathers name at Silverstone, and my mum has to present the trophy every year.

7. Now this ones a bit funny. I was living in Cairo, and back in the UK my sister's fiance was a vet who used to study vetinary with John Major's daughter. She had decided to travel the middle east, and my sister gave her my number so she could have somewhere to stay in Cairo. Next thing I know, her parents (father being Prime Minister of the UK at the time) are taking a holiday to go and meet their daughter on her travels, just at the time that she is staying with me. AAAAHHHHGGGGG. . . what do I do ??? I was fretting for about a week. In the end she came but Daddy had more important things to do !!!!

8. I sold some computer software to Jim Bowen ("oohhh give us a bully !"), the woman who used to be 'Grotbags' (with the gree face) and Buzby once (the guy that went to the moon)

9. I used to look after 'Desert Orchid' the famous race horse

10. I was in 'Boon' the TV series. On our school lunch hour if we were milling around eating chips in the town square, the film crew used to give us £10 each for being extras !!

11. I was working as a silver service waitress in a this posh country hotel, and I spilt a whole bowl of tomatoe and bazil soup down 'Mikhala Strachlen' once. (and then got the sack because the final straw was when I broke the cork into a bottle of wine worth £800. Who in the right mind would be stupid enuff to spend £800 on a bottle of wine anyway !!??

)

mmmm. well I did warn you you'd get bored !! however let me know yours and I'll promise to be intrigued !! xx
