Mine are very boring in comparison to some but here goes...

Harvey Stephens who played Damion in The Omen was a junior in the department I ran back in the 80s.

I was propositioned by Jeffrey Archer at a charity auction in London. He was obviously fairly drunk as I was sitting next to my DH (then my boyfriend) when he started and later in the evening he sent someone over with a note for me inviting me to go to Bermuda with him.

I was at college 3 years ago doing a fitness qualification and I won the press ups competition even though just about everybody else was male and 25 years younger than me.

I want another go too - been thinking of things all day!
*My great-grandmother died by falling out of a train when she went to open the carriage window to get some air. My grandad was only 4 at the time Sad. I share the same name as her.

*My mum once had an affair with a businessman who (supposedly) owed Mohammed al-fayed money and so Mo had our phones tapped and had a private detective take pics of my mum and her bf together and sent them to the guy's wife Shock I was secretly pleased as I hated him.

*I have a wonky rib on my left-hand side that sticks out loads and gives the impression of skinniness! Grin Just the one side, mind.

  1. My grandfather took Ricky Tomlinson to Court. Same grandfather was also invited to personal dinners with the Queen on several occasions.
  1. The drama club I went to as a teen produced several current slebs (not A list).
  1. I changed a colostomy bag on my firstborn before I had ever changed his nappy.

Oh and I can't sleep but that's not really any interesting.

Spenguin · 07/01/2011 01:23
  1. I have a weird skin "condition" wherein I can use, say, a pencil to write something on myself and within a few minutes the 'word' will have risen up, so it looks as if someone has branded me. It disappears after a bit, but I still call it my 'Hovis effect'.

  2. I was brought home from the hospital (after being born) in the Sultan of Brunei's motorcade.

  3. I once went for a little sleep-walk around a hotel when I was 9 or 10, desperately needed the bathroom and, in my delusion, ahem, had a little pee on the carpet in the corridor.

Spenguin · 07/01/2011 01:26

This is truly a fabulous thread!

3.5) My aunt's then-boyfriend was a partner in the Wagamama business (he sold his share just before they went big...argh!). When I was 5, they took some photos of me to use (still have delusions of the 'model I could have been'...pfft!). Thankfully, I am not that kid they use now. Sadly, I don't think my photos were ever used.

I do remember my mother perpetually banging on about how the photographer looked like Michael Douglas and how much I cried that day. Didn't even get free noodles! Child labour, what a tragedy!

TimeForACHEEKYWine · 07/01/2011 01:32

These are fab - think some of you should name some of your famous meetings/family Wink

MargueriteArgeneau · 07/01/2011 02:05

I am American and have never travelled farther than Canada. Yet, anyhow as I would love to.

I just finished trimming sixteen beef briskets for my FIL. I only cut myself once.

I live in the middle of nowhere.

There is a 12 gauge shotgun three feet away from me, behind the sofa. I know how to shoot it, and would if I needed to. And yes, it's loaded. An unloaded gun is useless.

I was raised by Californian, pagan, vegan deadheads. I spent much of my childhood running around Grateful Dead shows.
