Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

MeadowL · 2024-03-29T21:02:43+00:00

Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family. I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

Jonny and I have been lying low for a while after that awful to do but we live quite an ordinary life truth be told.

I was on the engine controls for the last ever departure from a British port of a UK flagged passenger only steam turbine driven cross channel ferry and I have stood next to John Bercow when someone threatened to thump him.

Does that make me famous

Yes!

My DH, apparently (I can’t see it) looks like Beppe off Eastenders. We’ve had people staring over while we’ve been out and some have asked him if he is!
Women have also openly flirted with him right in front of me. Good job I’m not the jealous type and found it quite funny! 😀

Oh I met Beppe on holiday in Faliraki 20 years ago along with Dean Gaffney 😂

I first wondered if it would be a mix of trance and progressive house he would do for the 11 yr olds, however, as OP claims he is "close" friends with Fabio and Grooverider and a PP has said it's a very tight friend group from a specific area of London, I'm guessing it'll be a mix of D&B and maybe speed garage?

I do detect some envy though 🤔

Envious of what, though? It’s not like you’ve shared details of fabulous wealth and luxury or a jet-set lifestyle. You can’t even decide if he’s just “semi-famous” enough to get recognised on a WhatsApp group or is “internationally known”.

David Attenborough took my nephew pond dipping years ago - I was soooo jealous!
It was part of a school thing-
A skull was found in his garden ( Human) the head of a murdered woman from 19th C who had lived in Richmond
Her maid had murdered her - and thrown body in Thames after rendering the body first- I won’t go into detail on here- but The murderer was called Kate I think? A hard faced woman.

Just looked that up on Wiki - see what you mean about the details being grim!

Sounds like a good candidate for Lucy Worsley’s Lady Killers podcast.

dh sat on a train and David Attenborough was sat in the same carriage.. he didn’t take a photo and left him alone

kids had a photo with David Cameron at an out of school club, we didn’t know he was going to be there or I’d have kept them home….

Where Fabio and groove are from is Streatham - well it used to be posh in certain areas back in the day, but it spills over into Tooting and Norbury, Tooting is actually quite trendy now.

It’s just tight there because some people know the others through various ways and means but it’s more, you look out/watch out for each other. Mind you though, I would not walk my dog on certain parts of Streatham common and a friend moved from that area because she didn’t feel safe walking her dog on the common.

Actually most people tend to be into a bit of soul, rare groove and R&B from any nights I’ve been to but I’m old (White Lion pub Streatham High Street) rather than d&b and speed garage though yeah kids are probably into that.

I can beat you as I went to school with Lisa Riley ( well she was a couple of years below me )
And my oldest some had his christening at the " Phoenix club" and went to the same school ( many years later ) as Peter kay🤣

I’m also desperate to know (because I have nothing better to ponder on this morning) whether he is planning to do his usual 90s/festival set for all the 11 year olds?

Or is he going to play Gangnam Style and the Cha Cha Slide, line up the kids for a Conga and throw sweets in the crowd for the best dancers?
