Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family.

I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

My husband is not famous, just a driving instructor. He is the 3rd best driving instructor in Wales (he doesn't tell anyone but I do!) 🤣 I'm so proud 🥲 he is always being beeped at, and regularly stopped by past students, parents of students etc.

He was approached by bbc radio Wales to do a piece on driving tests last Tuesday, but we were on holiday in Cornwall and didn't have any signal 🤦😂

Yes it's extremely tiresome having other women fawn all over him.

You've outed yourself Hilarie! Careful the OP will be fuming with you 😂

I can't cope! Woke the kids up laughing! What I was thinking though reading the title again...semi-famous bit. My husband had a famous semi most of the last year, neither use or ornament really despite the viagra!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

My brother was in The Cage on Tiswas in the 70s and got flanned.

Must up my security.

I'm in a local band and have performed with them at several festivals and charity events - got one of those 'Artist' wristbands and everything. Free bottles of water and bags of crisps after coming off stage - it's heady stuff.
Am I as famous as your DH OP?

TerfTalking · 30/03/2024 10:29

I think these threads are all so bloody pointless and tedious because no one will ever say who the famous person was/is, so anyone could just make it up. The posts taking the piss are quite amusing though.

GwinGwyn · 29/03/2024 21:05

Oh the DJ guy. From your other post.

Why do you think people care?

Fairly vacuous nonsense really.

A famous local DJ? Does that mean people's 50th birthdays and switching on the town's Christmas lights?

Is he planning to assassinate the other two so he can become number one? I'd watch the shit out of that Netflix series.

I'm in the Shiiine On 2023 video....form an orderly queue for autographs.

I mean he’s not that famous if he needs to charge the PTA £200 to do the Y6 leavers party.

Oh that’s embarrassing 😂😂

If it makes you feel any better OP I know people who know Fabio and grooverider (proper south London DJs). They’re completely normal. Locally to me live members of Soul to Soul, seen them in bars and chatted to them and you’d only know because they still have the high locs/dreads hairstyles. Very chilled guys.

My DH is close friends with both.

Lovely chaps you're right ✅️

My husband had two videos go viral. His face isn't in them but his voice is. Does this count? 🤣

MeadowL · 30/03/2024 10:38

Thanks for all the laughs in the replies everyone 😄 🤣

I do detect some envy though 🤔

Envy of what @MeadowL ?
Genuine question?

Betterbuckleupbarbara · 30/03/2024 10:40

@FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee yes, he’s not wholly famous, just semi, so yes.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you envious with my boasting of all my festival performances. I'm sure you also have a lot to be proud of 😃

Jenasaurus · 30/03/2024 10:42

Does having over 100k followers in Tiktok make me semi famous 😂

SabreIsMyFave · 30/03/2024 10:42

MeadowL · 30/03/2024 10:39

But my DH is a famous movie star. I have no reason to be envious. Confused

He earns millions of £££ a year.

crazyaginglady · 30/03/2024 10:43

InNeedOfAWin · 29/03/2024 21:10

Yes, but I am more famous - so it doesn’t bother me.

Fave reply so far.

5128gap · 30/03/2024 10:43

There's a DJ guy in my home town, (does weddings and used to do hospital radio) and everyone in town knows who he is. He's given himself a 'wacky' nickname, is 'eccentric' in a 'I'm mad me!' Kind of way, and tends to walk into pubs with a 'party's here now folks' kind of attitude. Big fan of 'hilarious' t shirts and loud 'bants', but he buys a lot of drinks so people put up with him. Does that sound like him OP? If so, yes, I can reliably confirm, he's famous in our town!

Axx · 30/03/2024 10:44

I'm not jealous, a close family member is internationally famous and it's a ball ache when they want to do something normal.
