almost famous people that you almost know

[ruggy]

Hello
Hope you are all boss,

the thread I'm starting is
I don't know any of these people really but I occasionally drop them into a conversation to make me look and feel better

John parrott- my uncle's mate

My mum used to work in midland bank and The Christians (band) used to bank there

&

my sister got kicked off a stage by Rozalla in Sheffield while she was doing "everybody's free.." . I love that song even more now!



Them is my best ones.

Anyone you don't really know, that you occasionally drop into a conversation as if you almost know them?

Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin and Adrian Belew are all mates of mine.

Spent an hour nattering with them in the SU canteen before they played there as "Discipline" just before they reformed themselves as King Crimson.

Fripp had egg and chips btw

Once got backstage at a Morrissey concert because I worked with his (at the time) drummer's aunt. I know Kodaline pretty well, we gigged in the same places when they were called 21 Demands.

I threw the ball back to Unsworth once when I was sitting in the paddock on Bullens Rd side

my mate Paul, just looked at me, shook his head and we both sort of laughed

I was stood behind Brian Conley in Gregg's a couple of days ago, he said 'cheers mate' as I moved out of his way to let him past, so I think we're friends now.

I sat beside Jon Snow on a plane. I didn't feel I was interesting enough to talk to him.
