My sort of claim to fame at uni is that I actually got rejected from the uni, they saw my talent on the summer course and changed their minds, so a few of the teachers who know me refer to me to others as 'the rising star' and tell them about my story haha, which I find a bit embarrassing.

A lot of the metal bands in blackburn used to know me when I was 14 because I played a mean metal bass guitar haha, very speedy and talented girl bassist haha, those where the days.

I got full marks in my art exam at college too which I guess doesn't happen too often. A lot of people hated me for that though so it wasn't necessarily good fame.

Ive met David Cameron twice and have a picture to prove it :cool:

Once had the extreme privelidge of managing one of the corporate boxes at Rovers for a season for the comopany I worked for back then. Got to meet most of the players, Graeme Souness, Mark Hughes and best of all, Simon Garner :):eek::) (founder of the famous Blackburn Rovers Flying Club!).

Was stood once in Mitton Fold and Alan Shearer came in and ordered a pint (it was some sort of testamonial game 3 years back and they were all staying there) - his body guard was 10 whole men!

I once met the whole of Iron Maiden except for Bruce Dickinson who had to literally FLY off......and they were all really nice blokes.I wasn`t ever the biggest Maiden fan but my mate was a (and still is) big steve Harris fan and i think he`s met him a couple of times since.
