almost famous people that you almost know

[evertony]

I don't know if he's proper, but he seems nice to me.

I guess as long as he doesn't ask to set up web cams or meet him in town it's relatively OK then.....Kurt, we're mates

My cousin went to school with Daniel Craig.

My mate is Daniel Craig's cousin. Which of us wins? They are both tenuous links to fame!

Doesn't quite fit the title but my next door neighbour looks after Barrys Horne's garden.

This is actually spot on! The looser the connection the better, you're winning.

Okay then .......... My father-in-law was at school with the Attenborough Brothers

 

[Donald Twain]

My mum and uncles grew up with ex-Everton goalkeeper Andy Rankin.

My dads best mate was Billy J Kramer

My dads now partner hung out with The Beatles (Yes, I've seen the proof)

70's boy band 'Our Kid' used to come to my Grandma's and eat fish and chips.

As a kid on holiday in Amsterdam in the 70's, my dad (who was working over there) and his mates where drinking at a bar called The Three Muskateers with Barry Gibb. Had no idea who is was at the time. He was that nice man with a beard who bought me loads of coke (Cola that is).

The Real People used to go to my school. Met them much later on a few occasions.

Ian Marshall went to my school and was a special guest at a PE lesson one time.

When I was in bands we were managed by Pete Best's brother Roag. Met Pete Best when we played the Casbah Club.

Attended a New Years Ever ball at St.Georges Hall back in 1993 with loads of local celebs. I was too bladdered to remember anything though except to say I remember ex-Beatles manager Alan Williams talking to me for ages.

Andy Hunter (Sports Journo) is a friend. Grew up together as kids.

Christ! This is like reading 'I'm with the band'

 

[ste d' indica]

Used to work in a swanky bar on High St. Kensington, had a few celebs through the door, the biggest name was Robert Palmer who was a really nice bloke. Also Paul Oakenfold, who really wasn't.

Cousin must trump mates cousin. I think. But a tenuous tie.

 

[bol-uk]

My dad is married to Alfred Molina's daughter.

I used to live with Charlie Brooks

I used to work with Martin Bramah from the fall

I drink regularly with Pavel Douglas

I am Neville Southalls 3rd cousin

My son plays football with the head of the British para-olympics

I have loads more too

"My son plays football with the head of the British para-olympics"

Sounds a bit morbid to me, like something one of the Addam's Family's kids would do.

Playing football with a disabled athlete's head. This is what's wrong with kids today. And their parents watch on with pride!

Soz mate, they're kind of famous and I almost know them
Point taken though, I think

*googles "borked"

Sorry mate, I don't remember posting that and I don't normally sign of on an R I think I must have had an adrenaline rush after posting a thread and my fingers got all thread happy. Sorry again. Not sure about 'borked' think i was probably using it incorrectly, I just use it to mean broken but like all scousers I just use words wherever I fancy and make nouns into verbs.

Thank you for your borks
