Captained a team in the first series of University Challenge, the professional, lost on the very last question, scores tied as it was asked and 8 people all went for the buzzer at the same moment, the fighter pilots were a bit quicker than the geologists!
Not many claims, but;
I know Alan Hinkes, the mountaineer who is going to be the first briton to climb all 14 of the 8000m peaks in the world, (he's doing the last one in 2005).
And I once worked for Mick Murphy who was a member of the first Irish team to ascend Everest. The man is also a Mastercraftsman Carpenter, has sailed the Atlantic several times in the boat he built, is one of the top kayakers in Eire, and built his outdoor centre from a derelict mill.
I've also worked with quite a few actors when I worked at a theatre.
Oh, and I was in the local rag a few times.

I've known him for a couple of years and originally met in bizarre circumstances! He's a nice enough bloke and easy to get on with, and has the inimitable charm of a real yorkshire man
have a look at this link, it's the company I used to work for and gives you a clue how I met him
