In my Facebook friends I have a friend who has their own IMDB page (for those who don't know IMDB is an online database of information related to films, television programs etc so actors, directors etc) and I have a mutual friend with a 2021 UK Olympian.

Who do you have lurking in your fb friends?

A literal princess. I won't say from what country or who it is but we attended the same course together when I was a teenager so I've kept friends with her on FB since then.

A session musician who has played with MASSIVE artists. Several legend status musicians. He's always been a bit of a hero of mine, but then came out with 'all lives matter' bullshit around the BLM protests and started typing in caps at me when I politely countered his argument. I can't look at him the same way any more.

One relative who interviews famous musicians for a living, and another with a winning score in the Kevin Bacon game.

DoingItMyself · 09/08/2021 21:52

One of my fb friends is related to two well-known singer-songwriters. I think this is why some other people have decided to become 'friends' of mine. I can't get them introductions, autographs, guest-listing or anything like that so they're being bored by me for no reward.

TrampolineForMrKite · 09/08/2021 21:54

Related to a famous dancer, who I am FB friends with and FB friends with the sibling of a premiership footballer. My sister is also FB friends, and real life friends, with an EastEnders star from about 25 years ago.
