To ask your tenuous claims to fame?

My SoniL is descended from Robert the Bruce

My mate came home and saw the sex pistols having something to eat in the kitchen. One of them was seeing his sister.

I'm distantly related to former US president teddy Roosevelt via his marriage to his second wife. Or something like that.

My husband’s former bandmate plays keyboard in Oasis.

My maternal cousins, fraternal great grandfather was one of the bin men in the film my fair lady

Haha I worked in a call centre too donkeys years ago...my tenuous claim to fame was Mike Baldwin from Corrie.

A friend’s nephew is Mike Skinner from The Streets.

I used to work in a call centre and once spoke to Rick Astley and Charlotte Church’s mum.

Years ago, I stood behind Gary Barlow and his kids in the queue at Boots.

Well actually Steve Coogans brother is a,friend of my cousin and came to his wedding i was sat near him he keeps popping up on people I might know on Facebook presumably because we have friends in common. My cousin and his siblings😂

This thread is like one long Alan Partridge travel tavern style name drop.

Anyone seen Bill Oddie? What about Sue Cooke?

I once saw Gillian Taylforth in Tesco in Borehamwood.

I was in the same class at school as the great grandson of John lougi baird

I went on a date with Phil Oakey from The Human League in late 70s.

My cousin was married to the man who owned the bedding company, dorma

I was on page 3 of the news of the world, not for anything risqué though.

I also think I saw Jake glynnhaal in Sainsbury's in 2011 (probably just a lookalike). I live very near Vic reeves.

I was a cleaner for the family 14th on Kent's rich list (Brett aggregates)
Lovely people, but I was always given instant coffee while they had nice ground coffee! Also I technically owe them £90 as I got paid when they had COVID on the understanding of make up the hours but it never happened

Remembered another one!

I lived in a very small village for 6 years from 11 to 17. I was about 14 and walking along the main coast road to my grandmothers house, when a flash sports car pulled up at the side of me. A man leaned across and asked me for directions to somewhere, I forget where now. But I knew where he needed to be and directed him. He couldn't thank me enough!
He looked really familiar, but I couldn't place him. I didn't know where I'd seen him. I tried to describe him to my mum when I got home and she was clueless! A few weeks later he appeared on TV and I shouted that that was the bloke! It was Derek Jacobi!

I snogged someone (not famous) who dated Kate Moss.

Ooh I've been an extra on Minder!

Pete Tong once offered to buy me a drink in a pub. I said no thanks. His friend said “that’s Pete Tong”, I said I don’t believe that’s even a name.

My mum appeared on the 90s TV show "confessions" to confront a man who had stolen our cocatiels from the pub garden a year or so previously (my crush at school saw it and found it hilarious).
I was the only other person sat in an empty upstairs of a Starbucks with David dimbleby (I didn't speak to him).
My husband and I flew over Afghanistan the night America first bombed it during the war in 2001.
My husband's cousins wife is the real fern from the pilot episode of "this is my house".
I delivered a bunch of flowers to Tiger lily hutchence geldof. I worked as a royal mail delivery driver in faversham and didn't bat an eyelid at the parcel that said "TL Hutchence Geldof" until I was outside faversham priory. I had to ask passers by how to get in as my sat nav thing took me to the wrong bit. I had to knock on a separate house that's just outside the main gates and Fifi trixabelle answered! She said "dad told me about these, they're flowers for tiger" I didn't know what to say so said "are you bob geldoffs daughter?" She said yes. Unsure how to respond I just said "cool" and walked off, probably made myself look a right tit.
My stepsons mums sister was on an episode of the supernanny rip off, little angels

I met Douglas Bader when I was 4. He opened the school I went to in Germany.

Ooh I love Gary Moore!

My Mum met Mariella Frostrop in the local vets office with my cat. Apparently the town where I grew up became a celebrity hot-spot shortly after i left.

A friend of my husband was in the audience for the first Jeremy Kyle show, she was student at the time and cos it was a new show they were really just inviting people in off the street.

I know a person who turned down Brad Pitt hitting on her - right before his Fight Club fame!

I’m related to Tommy Flanagan the Scottish actor. He’s great
