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....)?

and i used to live near the cheeky girls, before they were famous, and they are just wierd!

I was 3 years below Rupert Graves at the same crap comp. Not surprised at all that he apparently ran away with the circus.

My best friend is related to the Krankies.
The small boy is really a woman!!

My Great Uncle on my mother's side used to be Petula Clarke's chauffeur.

I used to have a cleaning job and would occasionally work with Orlando Bloom.
I sold a bra to Joanna Lumley.

Most tortuous if not tenuous: my auntie's husband's cousin's ex-step-BiL is Billy Duffy out of the Cult

oh that girl from Clapham by squeeze was "allegedly" written for Xp's aunt

My uncle's wifes, brothers wife was once the first wife of Bill Wyman.

You're challenging me for tortuousness there saffiw

My mate used to share digs with Trudi Styler in the 70s.

Apparently she offered him a blow job in exchange for him going to get her quince jelly from her room

Stephanie Cole's brother lives on my road. We see her quite often. She sometimes gives the boys sweets. DS2 calls her Stepney.

I am pmsl T "I worked with someone out of Chumbawamba's dad."

That's the most tenuous yet!

Oh, and a girl in my class at school was in "Why Don' You.....??" in the late 80s

And another - Michael Elphick got me and my mate into a lock in in a pub in Bath

In no particular order.

On stage with Sting.
Chatted up by Michael flatfoot Flatly
Also by Jonah Lomu of All blacks fame.

Waved at our last Goverment head in a pub thinking he had sent me over a drink but the drink was on the house because of a new landlord.

I was in the same class as Brian Mays neice (thats what she told us)

My cousin has a child with Darren Days cousin.

I served the Man City team dinner 5 years ago and David Seamens hands made the main plate look like a side plate.

I LOVE these tenuous links

one of my old English/form teachers is married to Ken Morley (Reg HOldsworth from Coronation Street)

Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen came to dinner at my house - but I wasn't there

I used to live next to Dominic Cooper - before he was famous

I snogged BOTH of a two-person team who won a trip to the Carribean on BLockbusters

my school friend's mother played the mother in Metal Mickey

another school friend's mother was Carol Chell of Playschool fame

my old next door neighbour used to to be Telly Savalas's live in girlfriend

I have LOADS of these, so sad

My mother went to university with John Lennon's cousin.

I went out with someone who had dated John Craven's daughter.

My mum met and chatted with Nelson Mandela

I went to school with Amanda and (her sister) Deborah Holden.

My brother had dinner with Madonna and Guy Ritchie once.

The Crown Prince of Holland once drove his car into a ditch near our house.

I saw the winner of New Zealand Idol (2006)shopping once.

My grandfather was picked for the South African national Rugby team (The Springboks) in 1919. But he never played a match because he got Spanish Flu.

I am distantly related to the man who invented the Postage Stamp.

Mine are the most tenuous because the last three can't really be classed as slebs
