This has reminded me that one of the ushers at my wedding in 1980 was Vera Duckworth's driving instructer. He also appeared as a Beatle in 'Birth of the Beatles'.

Confused @locosteee3see as that’s an almost exact cut n’ paste from earlier post, but different name.

All sympathy if you are the daughter of Anne Atkins.

A while back some people suspected I was the daughter of Jackie or Joan Collins.

(I wish my mum and aunt were that successful, and so do they!)

I was outed in real life as a ten year old, because my mum wrote about me as a journalist, and some weirdo read my coat name label on the bus and started having a pop at me about my mum's views. This was about twenty years ago.

(my mum wrote in a few broadsheets but was by no means a household name - this gives me big opinions on celebrities who put their kids on Instagram for audiences of millions!)

To be fair the GOT fame claim only works if you don't live in NI. If you live in NI and were in or know someone who was in GOT it is a bit like saying "I'm famous for being able to blink my eyes and breathe air"

I live in Scotland, near Glasgow. My mum studied fine art and drama at Glasgow uni so knows all sorts of these people.

Another name change now... sigh

I’m well known in a particular field and have been recognised and approached on multiple occasions, but don’t class myself as famous.

Is an NTA like an ASBO? I don't think that's anything to boast about, especially if he's got more than one.

I know they're not called ASBOs anymore, but they will always be ASBOs to me.

Aha! So youare Susie Dent, not me after all! Relief.


Just a minute though, Aha? Does that mean I am in reality Alan Partridge?


Frankly my dear, I'd rather be Susie.

Oh bugger, now I'm Rhett Butler.........

I think anybody famous would be mad to be on here unless they had the skin of a rhinoceros.


So that narrows it down... 😄
