Note to self, stay away from the peroxide when diving. Does not help the condition of hair ;D. Just bitching because I'm not on holiday or a famous diving journo  |

Miaow my dears, retract those claws  And they say women are bitchy. We are but obviously not good at it as you ;D. I'm so impressed.  I want to hear about any claim to fame, not just diving? Come on people, start name dropping. |

I've met Louise a couple of times - at the Dive show and at a BDO conference - certainly not a scary lady at all.
As to claims to fame - well I once beat Olympic swimmer David Wilkie in a swimming race - though I reckon he was just being nice.
Also my elbow had a starring role in a documentary about Loch Ness (and not as the monster incase anyone was wondering!)

Not my claim to fame, and a diving / music related one but a mate of mine once dived with Bernard Sumner of New Order.....

More like Mosh-divers please.
Mine is completely non-diving related. My friend's old boss went to the Beckham wedding as her hubby was one of the Man united physios.
God I love living vicariously. I'm off to crawl back to my uneventful little life.

Well I'm with Sam I'm afraid. I thought Louise was sound. Dived, dined and drank with the lady and she's okay with me. Has quite a lot to say about a certain Surrey based dive instructor all of which was bloody hilarious! I'm definitely doing a Trimix course now cause I got the offer of some good diving all over the place.  For those of you who have been to Javea before, I've now done the cave at Cumbre del Sol and the one at L'escull. The bigger one goes in for 5km so gave that a miss for now but you should all definitely get yourselves back here at some point to see them. I've also had a bloody big octopus stuck to my hand so it's been good so far. See you all on Monday.  |

Two diving claims to fame. 1. My trimix course, Instructor -- Rob Palmer Assistant -- Pete Ready (Inventor and maker of the PRISM rebreather) Pal of above 2 who turned up for a few days -- Stuart Clough (Carmelan research, makers of life support for NASA etc) Holy Sh*t what a week that was!!!! 2. Photo job at Fish's recording studio, (Fish -- water? diving? I know it tenuous at best but run with it) Mates of mine were recording a demo CD and I was there to shoot album cover shots and the big man was there, spent a while chatting with a music hero of mine while trying to stay calm and cool as if it happened every day!!! By the way if you are ever short of an insult, try this www.webweaving.orgJust press refesh for a fresh insult Thou beslubbering beef-witted barnacle |

I've got somemore, kinda similar to Mark's.
1) got picked to fight against the Ladies light-weight world champion for semi-contact fighting. Spent three minutes running away from her and she still kick the be-jesus out of me.
2) worked at a sportsman's dinner as a waitress. Had to serve the table with Danny McGrain and David Hay on it. Dropped a lump of roast beef fat on David HAy and a knife on Danny Mcgrain.

Shared a pizza with my childhood hero Olympic 800m silver medallist Peter Elliot after a charity run. He'd retired by this time.
