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....)?

I'm seeing someone who is a mate of the guy who used to be married to Kerry Katona. Brian Mc Fadden from Westlife.

Oh, another one. Paul Daniels onbce opened DP's primary school fete in Stoke Poges.

DP said Daniels was charging the kids in the school £1 for an autograph - this was in 1979. Tight fisted git.

My ex DP went to school with Ewan McGregor and has never quite got over the fact that Ewan became famous and ex DP didn't hee hee, my dad's cousins son (or something) is in the basil brush show - now that has got to be the most tenuous and most crap surely

I went out with George Michael's counsin...

I totally HAVE arfishy, it's a real laugh

now, MORE

Carol VOrderman stole my cab in Marylebone High Street

I taught Hale and Pace's children on a holiday music course

I spoke on the phone to Ant and Dec.

oooh and to Sophie Rhys Jones before she married Prince Edward.

I've met and shook hands with Timothy Lawrence (Princess Anne hubby) and laughed very politely but horrifiedly when he said something not quite nice about her.

The Dutchess of Gloucester once said 'Congratulations, I can tell you don't smoke' to me (I was 12, and to my shame, I did )

My sister is one of the snotty cows villagers who petitioned to not let Madonna move into their village (...not our sort dahling)

we were both invited to Wham's farewell gig, but he was a metal-head and would rather have gnawed off his own legs than go. I would have quite liked to have gone

Iloverosycheeks...... My ExDh also went to school with Ewan McGregor....and his rather more gorgeous brother - in fact (I may have this slightly confused) I think my ExSIL went out with the brother (she also went to that school)....Creif? something like that?

DonDons - we even got on at the same stop!!!!

He got off before me though.

It was a 277 if you're interested.

yes HHM was Morrisons Academy in Crieff, my favourite story was when Ex-dp's band was supposed to be playing at the school disco or something but Ewan McG's band got to do it because his dad was the PE teacher, ex dp very bitter about that

My Dad fixed Paul McCartney's land rover
My Aunty told Macca to post his own letter when he drew up in a car and asked her to do it.
My Granny was a cinema usherette and once threw The Beatles out for making too much noise.

I hail from the Mull of Kintyre.

I stayed in the same hotel as the Fun Lovin' Criminals and Ian Wright once and only met them because the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night.

Less high profile but less tenuous - when I was living in Halls of Residence my next door neighbour was Stephen Robertson who played Michael in 'Inside I'm Dancing'. Was on the same course as him and knew he would do great things.

Max Beesley sat in on my first appointment with my gynae when I was having investigations into infertility - he was doing research for Bodies at the time. I have no idea what the Consultant said during the appointment - too busy swooning!

Fast forward 2 and a half years to me giving birth in the same hospital, and discovering that the Registrar that has just broken my waters has got his mobile number. I was very insistant that she gave it to me as he was clearly my friend (but was very high on gas and air in my defence )

Lapin serisouly!!???? OMG Dish the dirt - was he a twat or was he lovely?

Oh and this is really tenuous - My music/singing teacher taught Rebekah Elmaloglou (Sophie from Home and Away)

ooh, sixspot - we have degrees of separation! My mum & dad bought a house from Robert Smith's granny!

Tom Baker was special guest at a school fete that my godmother took me to, at the height of his Doctor Who fame. He was very smiley and friendly and asked if I wanted his autograph. I scowled, said no and stomped off, as I'd never forgiven him for replacing my beloved Jon Pertwee. In my defence I was about 9.

Used to be on smiling and nodding terms with Bill Nighy as we both frequented the local corner shop.

Once discussed cakes with Maggie Smith in a Patisserie queue.

Joan Plowright admired the skirt in my basket in an M&S checkout queue.

My most tenuous, but much-loved link is to Steve McQueen. As a small child, waiting at the station with my dad, William Russell ruffled my hair. He was in The Great Escape with Steve McQueen.

Sigh.

Oh, I just remembered another one. In my first year at University I lived on the same floor as Tara Palmer-Tompkinson's sister. She never ever ever said a word to me for the whole year because I clearly didn't go to the right school. All her friends were either called Harry (girls) or Ed (boys). I had no idea who she was until much later though.

And my bridesmaid met the Queen - who went to her HOUSE to have lunch with her parents and the Queen had lipstick on her teeth the whole time.

And my best friend's daughter is best friends with the daughter of Gary Lineker's girlfriend.

My mums BF at college was dating a singer, he asked her to "live in sin" with him, her parents went potty so he dumped her....was Eric Clapton.
