The more tenuous the better.

I don’t want any of your “My mum used to clean for a famous pop star” because that turns into pages of tiresome questions and “Oh go on tell us who it is/give us a clue/no I can’t sorry”

I want such tenuous connections that nobody will bother asking follow up questions.

I’ll start.

My dog was Mr Tumble’s dog’s mum.

@smallglassbottle Me too. I'm also fair-haired and unhealthy looking. Bit worrying, really.

Me too 😬

Perhaps we need a support group, as we can't be the only ones 😂

During HCP training, I had a mentor who nursed one of the Kray twins up until his death.

I'm from the same Scottish clan as Donald Trump's mother 😂

I was an intern at the agency that made the Spice Girls Wannabe video... I was on set when it was recorded. I brought coffees for people and marvelled at my colleagues speaking on hands free phones.
