It's Sunday. I'm bored! Do you have any celebrity friends as in close enough to have them on Watsapp etc. Come on give us a clue, maybe some MNers will even be brave enough to tell us names!

Yes, I'm good friends with Fish from Marillion and we exchange messages weekly and chat

I realise most of you won't know who this is

Cool!! Magnificent songwriter.

I used to know Sean Hughes very well. The most complicated man in history, one week he'd love you the next he'd hate you and you were ostracised from his little pub gang for a while and then he called you up again and so on. Had some wild times with him nevertheless and i'm so sad he's gone.

I know him. Well, not personally but I know who he is and the band! Everyone knows Kayleigh surely!

I kind of know Neil Morrisey. He's a friend of a friend and drinks in one of my locals. He's very charming and likeable.

The thread has revealed to me that I'm a member of a pitiful underclass: people who do not know Fish from Marillion.

Me too! My only exposure to him has been his appearance on Gardener’s World 😂

I used to chat to Sean when we were out walking our dogs. He was lovely but often seemed troubled. Such a sad loss.

My drama teacher in the 00s had been on emmerdale playing sarah sugden. She was really cool and a great teacher. People would try not to mention emmerdale (although she was fine with it) in an effort to seem too cool to know what it was 🤣

I was casual friends with a good friend of lindsay lohan at one point, she was lovely and seemed a nice person despite her struggles.

I know loads of big brother/shipwrecked/pop idol people frpm the 00s but thats not famous. Sadly i dont know Fish

SenoraMiasma · 29/03/2022 15:00

@Buttons SR? I like her, so chilled

Ricky Gervaise has greeted my dog on Hampstead Heath!

@Welshwabbit

I did my legal training with Judge Rinder. We have fairly regular WhatsApp chats and I went to his wedding. He is, and always has been, exactly like he is on the telly. I am very fond of him (and his family, who are lovely).
Aw this is nice to read. I love him and always got a no-nonsense but genuine vibe from him. I've been following his Instagram while he's been helping out at the Polish border with the Ukraine refugees, he seems like a really decent person.
Bootothegoose · 29/03/2022 16:01

@okayigetit

Very similar… I wonder if it promotes following. Really strange things like ‘I’ve never had much of a relationship with my Dad’ when he was actively involved in her life and used to give us lifts everywhere or ‘I used to struggle getting weight off and found the only thing that helped was protein shakes’ accompanied by pictures of her in college when she was a size 6 and ate completely normally. ‘I always struggled to make friends and felt isolated’ she emigrated for uni and ghosted everyone she knew, so so strange.

Bearlover16 · 29/03/2022 16:42

I was in a band in the early noughties. I live a very quiet life now and my perspective has changed massively since becoming a parent. I'm a frequent Mumsnetter 🤣

SenoraMiasma · 29/03/2022 16:46

@Bearlover

We’re you wild and exciting? I was always so boring I envy those who really went for it when young🙂

StageFrightMightLight · 29/03/2022 16:50

@Bearlover16 are you Louise?

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 29/03/2022 16:59

Louise Wener? Sleeper were a 90s band I'd say rather than 00s.

yourestandingonmyneck · 29/03/2022 16:59

@AndAsIfByMagic

I know several stand up comedians.

I've said on here before - Greg Davies is lovely and everything you'd hope he would be. Sarah Millican and Jason Manford really care about their fans and go out of their way for them. Sara Pascoe is beautiful inside and out. Most of the ones I've met are lovely but a few can be a bit "edgy".

@AndAsIfByMagic so glad to hear that, I adore Greg Davies Smile

No, I wasn't in Eternal, if that's who you're referring to.

Trixiefirecracker · 29/03/2022 17:16

I was going out with someone who was in a band in the 90s. Does that count? They weren’t very good but we regularly had a lot of parties and people like Placebo coming over and wrecking the place.

@OfstedOffred

@Samcroand tell me how is Tom Felton?

mamabear715 · 29/03/2022 17:41

@Joystir59 thanks! Had to google him. :-) Not up on Bridgerton.

Samcro · 29/03/2022 17:42

[quote BiscuitLover3678]@Samcroand tell me how is Tom Felton?[/quote]
