Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

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 💃

Not a brag btw

Of course it's a brag. It's just fallen a bit flat like your other brags, because nobody else seems to be interested in semi-famous DJs. Whoever he is, he's a person just doing his job. Most of us are one of those.

One big difference is, most of us probably wouldn't try to charge our kids school, if we could use our line of work to help out at an end of year event.

My DH used to have his own fan club back in the day way. I would LOVE to get hold of one of their old newsletters 😆 it freaked him out as women would track down his address and knock on the door to proposition him. Hard to imagine now looking at him snoozing on the sofa in his jimjams 😅

Is he the dog dad of Fenton?

Oh god, this has made me laugh SO HARD. If only OP’s husband was as famous as Fenton’s dog dad…

Not a brag but you started a whole thread about him, and have mentioned him on other threads....hmm.

Sighhhhh · 30/03/2024 12:00

🤣 what the hell kind of thread is this? OP get a life!!!!

Abugfine · 30/03/2024 11:59

@CatkinToadflax - I think I still have that one in the loft! I’ve asked nicely but it seems that searching for an owl drawing in an annual (that may not even be there), isn’t on DH’s to do list for Easter.

It is but not a very good one.

So who is actually OPs DH then? From the clues I’ve got no idea!

The only idea I have from the clues is this? Needed the £200 to fund his catnip addiction.

DJ KITTY

World best DJ cat ever...

I'm not going to name him.

He's a very well known and international DJ, and has been since the 90's. He started on pirate radio stations and illegal raves and now gets to headline festivals worldwide. He is already booked through to the end of next year.

Oh hang on I’ve figured it out. It’s Ken Bruce isn’t it.

he's known locally, and in Europe but not 'nationwide' - that is confusing!

Show quote history

Yes, very puzzling. Europe not nationwide means he’s famous in Europe but not U.K..

Maybe OP isn’t “Famous” for her Geography GCSE exam result.

I do detect some envy though 🤔

You’re mistaking indifference to envy.

I really do not give a shit

not really when my DP does gigs for charities he covers his own costs... he does often get a drink or two out if it though!

NannytotheFamous · 30/03/2024 11:46

Not a DH but I used to work for a very very famous family. So saw close up the effects it had. When I was out with them or out alone with their children we were photographed and stared at. Ended up in a rag photographed in my swimming costume on the beach with the children. Hazard of the job.

We had security some of the time but they would draw extra attention. I preferred it when we did not have security with us.

It is a lot of pressure for the children knowing they are constantly observed - and pressure on the parents / babies hoping they will behave 😂

TediousTim · 30/03/2024 11:45

I was friends with a famous comedian- he's dead now - but going out with him could go either way. He was famously quite miserable so if he was in the mood to put his head down he'd not be bothered or really even noticed. Our local pubs didn't pay him any extra attention. If, however, he was feeling extrovert he would court the attention and people (young women) would flock to him, which was annoying - but on his part, not their's. He would get blokes trying to out-wit him at the bar or tell him he wasn't funny which could go one of two ways.

It's complicated with someone who has a public and private persona which they struggle to manage.

RIP to him, complex, kind, loveable, pain in the arse.

My DH is really well known locally, and in Europe. I'd hate it if he was really well know nationwide tbh.

I have a rather famous cousin who is a very good (I think so anyway) actress and probably a household name. It doesn't bother me because when I last went out with her (two weekends ago) nobody even came up to us and said anything. We went to a vintage fair and then out for lunch to a local restaurant. Nobody gave us a second glance. And we split the bill between us! 😍

IsAnybodyListening · 30/03/2024 11:38

No. You wouldn't recognise or know his name, but he does have a IMDb account and about 100 credits. Many moons ago he and his team won an Oscar, you'd never know unless he told you what he did. And when I mention to colleagues his job they wrongly assume we are absolutely loaded, but alas that's not the case🤣

PeanutsLunadexter · 30/03/2024 11:38

I was once on Top of The Pops 1985 but in the audience!

Reading out some of the best comments on this thread to DH. He’s just reminded me that I got a drawing of an owl published in the 1987 Brownie annual. And then commented “such a shame that you were so casually famous that you’d apparently forgotten!” 😄
