Jan Vojáček Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 We all have a few pointless claims to fame that are a decent way of striking up a conversation. Here's mine: 1. In 2004 I got in a taxi (private hire MPV thing) that the Black Eyed Peas had just got out of...I was 7 at the time and had no idea who they were. 2. I sat next to Frank McAvennie's son in Int.2 Maths last year, talking about Only an Excuse was off limits. 3. My personal best. In 2009 James McCarthy came to the team that I played for (and now coach) awards night. He asked me for a pen to sign a boys top and I gave him one, he then left without returning it. I've tried Tweeting him but he seems to embarrassed after his thoughtless theft to reply and offer me some kind of compensation. Over to you P&B!

Boghead ranter Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My dad did the drawings for the QE2's rudder. Dougray Scott asked me to "pass me some ice big man" at the bar at a charity do I was at one year. Hugh Keevins stood at the urinal beside me at the same do. Clatty b*****d never even washed his hands afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I was on TV the night we played Rangers in the League Cup at Firhill in 2009.

Jan Vojáček Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 My old best mate is Ross McCormack's cousin.This reminded me, at my table in Maths was also Jonny Russell's cousin. Felt a bit pathetic that I wasn't related to a footballer tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
