Done to death previously but always new members joining!

I am not famous, dont have any celebrity friends. It fascinated by what it must be like to be famous or have famous relatives or friends!

Anyone willing to spill any beans tonight to cheer me up!

He does! Lovely guy by all accounts but I really don't find him attractive.

The80sweregreat · 04/08/2017 16:03

i think CF is lovely - he is funny 'IN Bruges' film, very sexy.
he was in the monsters film with Eddie Redmayne - looking dapper in a nice suit.

My only claim to fame is that I cooked spaghetti bolognese for all 4 members of U2 in our caravan and they sat in our awning for a couple of hours just shooting the breeze afterwards.

It's a long story.

They were perfect gentlemen though and Larry was absolutely gorgeous.

The80sweregreat · 04/08/2017 17:16

Adnerb95, cool!
However famous you are, people need to eat.

Humm1ngb1rd · 04/08/2017 17:19

Come on adbner 95 we need more now Grin

Adnerb95 · 04/08/2017 17:33

The coolness quotient was slightly undermined by the fact that my PFB was just 6 weeks old at the time, screaming with colic night and day and my breasts were flooding the entire campsite..

The80sweregreat · 04/08/2017 17:38

Not something that happens everyday eh?

MsHarry · 04/08/2017 17:42

Oh I love Larry Mullen.

Adnerb95 · 04/08/2017 17:51

Bono had twisted his ankle and I ministered cool compresses in the from baby muslins soaked in cold water.

It was quite surreal and many years ago but they were already famous.

Adnerb95 · 04/08/2017 17:52

The best thing is that autocorrect kept trying to change baby muslins to baby Muslims!!

The80sweregreat · 04/08/2017 17:55

Baby muslims on bono's foot.
One for the Daily mail!

Thats a brilliant story - love the fact you had a 6wo in tow. I'm not sure who in my family would be more jealous - me or my brother who relentlessly played u2 at full volume all the way thro' his teenage years or me the poor younger sister having to endure it and then finally admitting that she liked it!

Butteredparsnip1ps · 04/08/2017 18:45

I'm a sucker for threads like this. Partly, because I'm always amused by the grumpy who cares anyway posters who come along for a moan and the gullible posters who think the more obvious hints are true...

Personally, I'm intrigued by some of the Authors. I recently found out via MN book club that a former primary school friend is now a successful writer. So I'd love to know if she's on here. If anyone's older sister has had a very recent birthday Wink give me a wave!

Adnerb95 · 04/08/2017 19:23

Yes, I'm always a bit Shock when posters come on MN saying they cannot possibly travel 40 miles to see family for a tea-party within the first 6 months of baby arriving, when I think of what we did with ours when they were little ...

The80sweregreat · 04/08/2017 19:27

I hope they are on their christmas card list !
Im not a fan, but the Joshua tree is a fine album.

The80sweregreat · 04/08/2017 19:27

That makes no sense.
I hope they send you a card..

Back in 1980 my Mum who was a teacher also taught an evening class at the Uni. One evening during the break she was in the SU bar, sat at a table by herself with her glass of OJ being ignored by all the students. A guy came over and asked if the rest of the seats at the table were free and could they join her. She said yes and sat chatting to four guys who she described as very nice. She noticed the students all looking over but didn't know why. When her break was over and she got up to leave and said goodbye to the group one of them said to her "You don't know who we are, do you?" She said "No, should I?" He said "We are U2 that's why everyone keeps looking over" She admitted she was still none the wiser. The following day she asked 20 year old me if I knew who U2 are...........

@Rach3637475 after careful deliberation with my cricket mad husband, he has decided your name begins with S and that your husband is Welsh. Please put us out of our misery because he's currently bouncing round the living room like an excited puppy saying "I'm definitely right!" I should add, he has our 10 week old in a sling and needs to calm the eff down

VanillaSugar · 04/08/2017 20:42

babywearinggeek well, if your DH is cricket mad, I cannot tell you my story. Suffice to say, his mum said that when she's with him and people say "you look like Xzzzzzzxxxz" he says "well, I'm the same height as him" Grin

Bangingmyhead - did you go to school in Bedlington? Think we might have gone to the same school!

Did I hear you on R4 on Friday afternoon? (not a cabby btw)

I once worked with someone whose mum's friend made a cake which featured in an episode of EastEnders.

bambambini · 06/08/2017 04:21

Was having this kind of conversation with friends at college. We were all "oh i served Frank Butcher once" and "my cousin was at school with so and so's cousins cousin" - and one friend just said "Billy Conolly comes and stays with us a lot"
