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....)?

Oh and i beat the crap out of that bloke off the telly who was going on about that particle thingie and was in D'ream

but don't tell ds, because fighting is bad

my mums step dad is charles dicken's great great great grandson.

I'd have something very creative with that guy too given half the chance!

ooh 'ello lapin... did he come dressed like that? [puerile]

my best mate's ex boyf once punched Krishnan Guru Murthy on the nose.

they were 11.

DH's mate's sister is married to one of The Cure.

That's pretty tenuous, isn't it? [proud]

Jesse Birdsall walked past me and looked to see what I was doing...I was bfing my Ds does that count?

"Arise Lady La Gore"

My late mother's related to Gilbert O'Sullivan.

My father did The first lord's sea captain's laundry in Kensinton palace in the 60's and for the Beatles. He tells me he got mobbed from screaming teenagers trying to get their hands on the boys smalls.

And I went to the same college as Michael Gove (odious Tory person) but never spoke to him.

And went to several of the same parties as Boris Johnson but never spoke to him either (I don't do Tories).

And Sam West also went to the same college as me but I did speak to him - he was lovely.

And my brother went to the same college as and played football with Andy Burnham (Labour minister for something - sport? culture?) and he and Andy stayed in our flat in London one night and we all went to see The Wedding Present in Kilburn.

And I got on the same bus as Bobby Gillespie recently.

And Tony Blair came to the DSs' school a while ago and DH nearly got knocked down by one of his minders.

Stephanie Beecham once passed through my shop in a waft of beauty confidence and sophistication.

Richard Cabourne's mum used to make scones for me every Tuesday. I sold her a cooker.

DH does Christopher Timothy's and Chris Evan's trees.

I stood behind Tim Roth in Balham sainsburys

I sat opposite A heavily (but not brilliantly ) disguised Kylie Minogue on a bus after the Notting Hill carnival. She is toooo weeee.

I saw the Dalai Lhama at the British Museum whilst herding a class of 5 year olds around. He nodded at me.

I bought candles from Bob Carolges shop, but there was no sign of spit anywhere

I forgot I was in Madam Toussad's and thought one of wax works was real.

Lol at the mental picture of The Dalaih Lama nodding at Meghalegs.
