What's you best, really tenuous link to a sleb?

I am in awe of all these people who have met loads of celebrities and have interesting stories to post about.

It got me thinking.......the closest I have ever got was when I was young Tilda Swinton's mum & dad used to let me ride on their estate and one day I patted Tilda's old pony.

And that's it!!

Anyone else got equally tenous sleb stories (and yes I am very bored....)?

I went to secondary school with Simon Pegg (I was a runt of a 1st year when he left though ) but we did have the same completely mad drama teacher so I am even more shocked that someone from our school got anywhere in acting!

Only once though

Bernard Cribbins once had a go at my dad on a plane because my dad's air conditioning was 'blasting us all behind you'. Yes, those little round things with a puff of air like a mouse fart. Cribbins is now banned in my family. However, he lives in the same road as PIL

Dara O'Briain was on our flight to Dublin a couple of weeks ago with his wife and babby.
