Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

Famous in his field but those outside won't have heard of him. Doesn't cause any issues.

I am now really worried that I had a chat with a famous sportsperson the other day at a railway station. He was by himself, if he had been with anyone else, I wouldn't have spoken to him. I didn't ask for a selfie.

He was really lovely

Oh my God it’s so annoying isn’t it. My husband is also a little famous. He’s the local Headteacher. Everywhere we go we have kids chasing us down the street “Mr Johnson……. Look it’s Mr Johnson……. Hello Mr Johnson!”

Is his name Kevin or Perry and does he like to 'go large'

One of my classmates was on the popular quiz show Blockbusters in the 80s. But by then he was in sixth form and the school I had decided I wasn't staying on so I didn't get to bask in any reflected glory.

I wasn't bitter though because it soon became apparent that fate had other plans for me. One of my brothers went on Going for Gold with Henry Kelly! He only lasted 3 rounds, but did get a screenshot his picture in the local paper.

Sometimes people ask if I miss those heady days of fame by association, but I always tell them I have no regrets - I like the person I've become, and wouldn't want it to have changed me 🤷‍♂️

My DF's name is in a book!

P.S. It's one of those local history, self-published books . . . . .

No, but Salman Rushdie once hit on me when I was 19.

Pretty upsetting to learn that one of my favourite writers is kind of a creep. I later learned that his creepiness is well known. Oh well.

I've shagged someone semi famous and when dp and I watch shows he's appeared i sit there all red and I think dp thinks I fancy him, but I don't, I ended it. It's just a case of I've seen him naked 😂
Oh I've never told dp that I know him, I like I've a wee secret from when I was naughty 😂

Not sure on that one .. this is the poster who wants to call another school mum a cunt as she's dared to suggest the kids might like a cinema night instead of paying daddy DJ 200 quid ( equipment he already owns / his own kids class )

Now he's famous .. apparently but couldn't get another booking as he's pencilled in this event .. which makes the other WhatsApp group mum " a cunt "

Lovely

Yes I'm the same OP. What bothers me most though is when we go out and people DONT SEEM TO CARE.
I always take care to book restaurants in his name and announce our arrival loudly. When he answers his phone he says "HELLO ME BUBBLES FOR BREAKFAST HERE". So people will know they are to notice us.

I sympathise . . . .I was once on the BBC 6 o'clock news as there was a major news story in my area and I could be seen briefly at the back of the hospital carpark the BBC were filming in.

Can we exchange autographs?

I once worked with a lady whose father had shown Princess Margaret to her seat when she had attended their village church. We never heard the end of this - it was quite remarkable how often this was brought up in conversation. We only had to use the word 'church' and it would be "Did I ever tell you about when Princess Margaret was at a weekend houseparty at the local estate. Well, on the Sunday, my Pa welcomed her at the door of the church and actually walked her down the aisle and showed her to her pew!"

I used to send pictures in all the time.
Sob. Nothing...😢
Somewhere inside me there's a sad 8 year old who's still asking Tony and Morph "why? why not me and my painfully shit excellent felt tip frog drawings?" 😭
I have much respect for your Gallery fame TheFireflies 🙌

PigletJohn you are indeed MN famous!
I reckon you get summoned more than any other poster 💪🤘😁

Sorry OP, but I couldn't help thinking of the character Miche from People Just do Nothing...haha.

😂

I once had a piece of artwork featured in the Gallery on Hartbeat. My husband bears this well and is very understanding of my notoriety as an artist,

This is a fun thread but the OP really revealed their colours when they posted “Cry some more 😂” to one piece of considered criticism.

I really do think the OP is bored as hell and needed the validation and entertainment of a few hundred people joining their thread.

Hope your Hubby is feeling better and recovering well. He's had quite a year , hasn't he.
I'm amazed that you are on here!

I'd say he does! Mum used to see him about while shopping sometimes. {edit ..do you mean Trevor McDonald?}

I was in a post office queue years ago and saw a bloke that I thought was a friend from somewhere - his voice and appearance was so familiar, but I couldn't quite place him.

He was one of the main characters from 'Withal {Edit Withnail and I'} bloody spellcheck... , a film I loved - but no one was bothering him.
He looked and sounded very like his actual character.

It must be worse nowadays with the advent of smart phones, people taking pics - it would be very tedious.

My husband is often asked if he’s related to me.

Does Trevor MacDonald count?

Ex was a relative of the Welsh Rugby Manager

In Wales, couldnt go far without someone talking , taking a photo, asking for a autograph.
Spent afew hours with him and it become very boring very quickly
