To ask your tenuous claims to fame?

My aunts husbands sister was treated for something by the business partner of a famous actor...... I think that is about as tenuous as you can be!

I met Ian at a rather informal meet and greet thing years ago when I was a Creative Writing student. He was so lovely giving me tips on courses that helped with more genre writing as my course at the time was weird about it. I think I freaked him out a bit when I said I wrote horror as I enjoyed killing people off. 🙈 His face was certainly a picture LOL.

(And I did end up sticking with the course I was on and graduated with a 2:1).

Darius mum used to be my dr

At times like this, I miss the laugh emoji.

No...just had a brain fart!

Oh swept along 😂

I just thought you had been married more than once and you were referring to one of your husbands 😂

Jk rowling taught my brother at school, it was while she was finishing the first book and it being published.

During lockdown DD, dog and I accidentally went on a walk with Tyson & Paris Fury and their whole family. They were all spread out and we were caught in the middle.

"One husband..."

Eh? Meant to write "One time my husband..."

Small world...

One of my husband's former pupils was 'Scotland's most wanted man' for a while.

My youngest was at an event with GG in attendance and phoned me to ask if he was a big deal as none of their group had a clue who he was or what he did.

Forgot I walked past kiefer Sutherland in London a few years ago. I can’t remember if he was taller or shorter than id expected but it was one of the two!

Oh this is fun, just remembered some more - I used to be friends with a boy who was the 2nd cousin of a famous Rangers footballer in the 90s. I think his name was Barry Ferguson.

I played hockey against Mark Hately’s daughter (he was also a rangers football player in the 90s)

I also knew the daughter of the late Janey Godley growing up. I seen her mum now and again doing the school run. It was only years later when social media became a thing I realised her mum was a famous comedian.

During the pandemic the driver for one of my Sainsbury’s deliveries said he was an actor and once the voice of one the characters in Rainbow. I think it was Bungle.

@WearyAuldWumman You probably knew the son of someone I knew who was also at school with Ian. The son, not the someone. I never met the son.

Once got a taxi to an Ian Brown gig with 2 girls who lived next door to his mum Jean Brown. They'd got free tickets because they lived on his street. Said he was lovely but had always had a real 'rock star' quality

My dad was bodyguard to Monica Lewinsky when she did the book signing tour in 1999, we all got signed books and my stepmum was given her hairdryer lol

I took a picture of my daughter with Peter Andre when she was around 5.
Outside the hopsital Emily worked in at the time.

When I was a kid I spent a week on holiday with Cheryl Baker from Bucks Fizz, she was my sister's friend

It's not! (It was Ian.)

ETA Though I once saw Val in the audience of a meet-the-author talk thingy at Glenrothes Central Library.

Goanyersel!

(I listen to that at the gym.)

I was invited to be videoed, 'tell my story' and be used in a poster for the regional leisure centres.

When I looked at the current videos, they were only using auld biddies (like me) who looked to be on their last legs - in order to encourage folk that anyone could use the gym... No one under the age of 70+ at all.

Their poster boy was an auld lad in his 90s.

super super jealous! One of my all time favourite bands. The sound of my twenties. I hope he was a nice chap.

My sister was interviewed in the street by Granada reports a couple of years ago about some remarks Boris Johnson had made about Angela Raynors skirt.

Cilla impressed me when she gave us a very precise price for the SK (plus VAT). I was on the committee of the local folk club.

The SK worked out as much more expensive than hiring the Kettle members for an adult gig.
