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?

I went to school with a singer songwriter who has at least one of his written songs high in the charts right now. He's also a singer himself but not that well known or successful, think his knack is writing

He was a lovely guy, love seeing him successful now!

A family friend grew up in Liverpool just before the Beatles got big. She says that Ringo Starr used to walk her to the bus stop after an evening at the Cavern. She said she didn't fancy him at all and used to make sure she was eating something in case he tried to kiss her!

Craig, the first winner of the Big Brother , let me go in front of him in the queue at a sandwich shop once.
A colleague's friend (or possibly colleagues brothers friend) was in an 80s band, that I can't remember. They were famous enough that I'd heard of them though.
