Tenuous claims to fame (88/365)

I don't have a lot of tenuous claims to fame*, but as of 7:30 this evening I will be able to say that my handknitted socks have been on BBC2.

(They will be on Mastermind, on the feet of T, who will also be on Mastermind.)

What are your best tenuous claims to fame?

*nor do I have any actual claims to fame, really

I've got a quiz-related one, which is that in my third year in university I went out with the chap who exclaimed "Homosexuals!"* in response to a University Challenge question to which the correct answer was "Regiments of the British Army". He's even in TV Tropes!

*my faulty memory improves the joke by having him buzz in before the question is finished, but YouTube is there to chasten me. Paxo's response is rather homophobic, no surprise there though. Bamber Gascoigne would never.
