There's one in RTE who a fair few have that claim to fame ;-)

If it's Caroline Morahan, I'll shake you by the hand!

my twitter profile was listed in issue one of Man City's new magazine as an online fan.

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

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

I think Dodge might have "gone wild", if there rumours are true ;-)

Packie Bonner is my uncle's cousin. In school, this variously spread amongst my peers as "Packie Bonner is his uncle" or "Packie Bonner is his cousin". I was happy enough to let this go uncorrected.

One of my cousins was an Irish Olympian in Beijing. He did alright.

I can hold my breath for four minutes, by which time a cold sensation in my extremities makes me wonder what on earth I am doing with my life.

When I was a wee lad, I had a meal in a restaurant a few tables away from Bryan Robson. I got his autograph, but only after the waitress asked him on my behalf as I was too shy myself.

I was once on the same flight from Munich to Dublin as Chris de Burgh and Rosana Davison. I managed to capture a poor quality snap on my phone's shoddy camera (calling it a camera phone would have been exceedingly generous) through the gap in the seats. Only of Chris de Burgh, mind.

When I was 18, a very adamant gay man with a wife and two kids once told me that I should enter Mr. Gay UK as I would be a certain winner. I have yet to enter, but fear time may be against me if I leave it any longer.

I saw a Trapattoni look-alike in Mulligan's pub in Manchester a few months ago during our home game against Macedonia. My brother asked him for a photo and we all had a laugh about it before ordering another pint and talking about something else.

Mick Hucknall has been known to fish in the same county in which I was born.

I can't tie a balloon.

I woke up in the middle of a dream the other night wondering if it would be boastful to mention my 2 BAFTA and 1 IFTA nominations here... It obviously says much for my modesty that I would be content to dream of an IFTA nomination rather than a Palme d'Or win!

Mrs Grise's cousin, however, really was a BAFTA nominee. Reflected glory just isn't the same though.
