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

[liath]

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....)?

erm..scraping barrel now but...

I sat next to Michael Aspel in a restaurant once (he did not have his red book with him but was with a unidentified non-wife female) (in Surrey)

Cliff Richards walked past me once (also in SUrrey)

One of our secretaries stood behind Jarvis Cocker in the newsagents (back in the homeland)

I have, on many occasions, drank in the pub part owned by various members of Pulp (but who hasn't?)

I met thingy off of Hollyoaks and 2 pints at the V festival in '99 (curly haired bint)

I've had Christmas Dinner at Jimmy Nail's Mum's house and his sister was at my parents wedding.
A friend from school babysat for Alan Shearer.
My Mum used to work with Gordon Brown's SIL.

oh yeah, and my mate's mum used to babysit for Jarvis when he was about 11

Oh just remembererd, I met Reef when I was at Uni and their support band stayed at my house.

My best friend at uni went out once with Lembit Opik

bythepowerofgreyskull - no, not my sister!
But we went to stay with them once at Easter & saw some Ferrero Rocher eggs at the airport & thought it'd be fun to get one each for the family.
BIL seized on them with glee & spent about an hour trying to build a pyramid with the choccies.
It is actually not possible to build a pyramid like the one in that clip with Ferrero Rocher without cheating & sticking the bottom ones together.

My mum once saw Henry Cooper in Clacton on Sea and had to turn on her heel and walk away because she didn't trust herself not to grope him (that was in the late 1960s).

A few years ago DH took her to a charity lunch at which he was the speaker, DH introduced them and he was lovely to her.

Dh works with a lady who used to work on Timeteam.She said that one of the archeologists has really bad B.O.The other is a nudist.Same lady used to be babysat by the lead singer of Deacon Blue.

DH has also just announced that he was smiled at by Elle Mcpherson in Sydney.He never told ME that before now!

Sadly,I actually do know some slebs,but due to the fact that we live in a very easily identifiable and very small area,I am reluctant to say who & where they are.Anyway,this is more fun.
