A friend of mine had a cousin who happened to also be a cousin of Jim Kerr from Simple Minds. Although my friend was not actually related to Jim Kerr she referred to him as her half cousin. Another friend used to boast that she and Simon Le Bon were at school together, they did indeed go to the same school but not at the same time. Anyone else got any vague claims to fame?

Many years ago whilst playing golf the pair behind my group caught up.Shut the front door, but one of them was the then England manager Bobby (no Sir then) Robson. Being the good egg I am ,we let him play through.

My son was in the same primary school class as a lad who is now a premiership footballer. He was a right bullying little shit.

I went to Primary school with a member of S Club 7, but they're older than me so I didn't really know them.

I recently worked with someone who went to uni with Tim Vine and thus knew Jeremy Vine too. His reckoning is that JV always was a 'jumped up little shit', even though I didn't actually ask him for that info as I quite like JV.

In my late teens I was a Sunday school teacher. It was a seaside town and over the summer we'd often have visiting families attend.
Two very well behaved and rather shy visiting children attended my class one week. Then their mum came to pick them up - she was Jerry Hall!

Oh also my husband (as a student in Liverpool) used to work in a record shop with Pete Burns.
Earlier than that, whilst still school age he was in a drama club with a very young Kenneth Branagh who once shagged a girl in H's bed during a party and injured himself (split foreskin apparently - blood everywhere).

My PE teacher used to date Geoff Capes
