What have you won or what is your claim to fame?

[OwlsFan]

This is one I often do at dinner parties or even around a table of strangers. It's amazing what comes out. At one Table we discovered a world record speed holder for single prop planes and a Miss Dairy Queen 1980 something.

I have a fair few cricket league winners medals, runner up at the school's table tennis competition and got as far as No. 2 in the World at online Axis & Allies. Now dropped to No. 18 :frown:

[tetsujin1979]

I won one of the JP McManus Scholarships in my school (CBS Sexton St in Limerick) for my Leaving Cert results

[Lionel Ritchie]

I did a Peel session. :-D

[Mr A]

I killed a guy with a trident.

[DeLorean]

I played the Milk Tray man

[Magicme]

I was a festival queen when I was 16 and modeled from age 8 to 18.

I set up the amnesty international group in school.

I was first female live football commentator in Ireland at our cup final last year.

I won an award for my anti racism work at mons.

Was shortlisted for press officer of the year my first year in the job....all downhill from there!

I ran with kip keanu (sp?) To light the torch at the world veteran games in Oregon.

I wore John Tracy's Olympic medal. I held Barry McGuigans world champ belt.

I'm great oh and extremely shy and modest about my achievements and claims to fame.:o

[theworm2345]

I have nothing aside from some very minor sporting accomplishments...unless being world's biggest David Connolly fan counts? Even then I'm sure his family are bigger fans (well, maybe)

Shush am trying to get a job so of course am touting!!

[Bray-Z]

I shot JR.

[the 12 th man]

I attended and sang at the first Karaoke gig in a pub in Ireland.
I had a table booked in the restaurant in the Twin Towers after it was hit.
I got the first ever infraction on foot (It was only a test one but even so).:D

[Eminence Grise]

All-Ireland Pioneer U-15 table quiz (a remarkable achievement with 2 teenage alcoholics on the team). We won the Connaught U-25 title the following year, beating even seasoned university drinkers/thinkers.


Irish Times Young Historian of the Year – yup, even today it just screams nerd.:o


Fencing Intervarsities and Colours v UCD– very proud of those, because I was diabolically bad at every sport I’d ever tried before fencing! Or since, for that matter.


Junior Chamber Ireland public speaking champion. Got a free holiday to the European finals in Greece out of that... 37C in the afternoon, and me wearing a tux. Sweatin' for Ireland. Top three went to the World final in South Korea. South Korea is still on my list of places to see...:disappointed:


And in recent years, nothing. Zip. Diddly-squat. Not even as much as a free scratchcard from the Lottery...

Is it weird that out of everything mentioned so far, this is the one that I'm most envious of?

[Eminence Grise]

If it's any consolation, that was the same year some muppet correcting Leaving Cert history papers gave me a D.

FFS, the IT project was my special question!!!!

Starting Chapter 8 of my PhD in history today: but that D will haunt me to the grave.

[OwlsFan]

D in history? Can you remember what topic you screwed up on. The Punic Wars - perhaps you were engaged in public wars at the time and lost concentration?

[Eminence Grise]

Can you remember what topic you screwed up on.

I've only ever screwed up once in my life....

I thought I'd made a mistake.:cool:

[juan]

I was once a guest on Mooney Goes Wild.

[thischarmingman]

I hugged Dobby from Peep Show on Wednesday night.

[cornflakes]

Russell Brand checked out my girlfriend

[sligoman]

The FAI cup was in my house.

[SkStu]

Julia Roberts kissed me (on the cheek!)

Bum cheek?

[SkStu]

i think she would have charged me more for that... ;)

[Spudulika]

The FAI cup was in my house.

But the good thing is you only got 6 months suspended for it!

[osarusan]

I buckled Sugar Ray Leonard with a left hook to the jaw in Montreal on June 20th 1980.

On Playstation? :p

[gustavo]

I'm a moderator on an internet forum

and they said I'd never amount to anything

[dahamsta]

I run Foot.ie.

[strangeirish]

Three National Karate Championships, numerous county championships in Gaelic Football and numerous awards and medals in soccer. And the one I'm most proud of...I'm not from Sligo...:cool:

[Kingdom]

I won an All Ireland Vocational Schools Football medal without playing, or attending, a single game in the competition. Satisfying.
I ran a Sports fanzine.
I won an Offaly County Championship.

[OwlsFan]

I should mention that I met Trevor Stevens at an FAI Awards Dinner. He was an Agent for a Wednesday player at the time and we had a great chat and he even gave me his card :O He said I "knew a lot about football" but he was slightly inebriated at the time. We exchanged e-mails for a while but the player eventually left Wednesday and our correspondence soon dried up (i.e. he put me on his spam list). I also had drinks with Aldo and Houghton in a bar in the USA during the World Cup (well, I was in the same bar as them). I also had my photo taken with Trappatoni at a function. They are probably my only claim to fame on the football front.

[thischarmingman]

I got Hull promoted two seasons running, getting them into the Premiership, where I then moved to Man City and narrowly missing out on the Championship while in the process helping Carlton Cole to a European Golden Boot.

I won the Setanta, League, FAI Cup and the title with Derry City in one year.

I called Chris Turner a foul word and he heard me.

I also conversed with Bojan Djordjic, once of Manchester United.

Andy Cole invited me on to the team bus.
