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 💃

@CatkinToadflax - I think I still have that one in the loft! I’ve asked nicely but it seems that searching for an owl drawing in an annual (that may not even be there), isn’t on DH’s to do list for Easter.

🤣 what the hell kind of thread is this? OP get a life!!!!

Not a brag btw

Not a brag but you started a whole thread about him, and have mentioned him on other threads....hmm.

Is he the dog dad of Fenton?

Oh god, this has made me laugh SO HARD. If only OP’s husband was as famous as Fenton’s dog dad…

My DH used to have his own fan club back in the day way. I would LOVE to get hold of one of their old newsletters 😆 it freaked him out as women would track down his address and knock on the door to proposition him. Hard to imagine now looking at him snoozing on the sofa in his jimjams 😅

Of course it's a brag. It's just fallen a bit flat like your other brags, because nobody else seems to be interested in semi-famous DJs. Whoever he is, he's a person just doing his job. Most of us are one of those.

One big difference is, most of us probably wouldn't try to charge our kids school, if we could use our line of work to help out at an end of year event.

I'm not going to name him.

He's a very well known and international DJ, and has been since the 90's. He started on pirate radio stations and illegal raves and now gets to headline festivals worldwide. He is already booked through to the end of next year.

💃

So he's well known locally and in Europe or he's an international dj who headlines festivals? Which is it?

If he really is a big deal festival headliner isn't he pissed you're gossiping on MN about him? The well known people I'm acquainted with, wouldn't appreciate people using them to create attempted brag posts, especially their OHs.

Deeply disappointing. That’s true fame you’re missing out on. That’s your DH off my Christmas card list! 😄

SabrinaThwaite · 30/03/2024 12:15

On the other hand, I’ve just looked up the son of DS’s old sports coach who actually is now an internationally famous DJ. He was just starting out when I first met his mum.

DS is a bit 😮 as he had no idea and his mates are big fans.

So thanks for the reminder OP.

he's known locally, and in Europe but not 'nationwide' - that is confusing!

Perhaps he's known locally as 'the guy from round the corner who's famous in Europe' .

Yeah right.

What was the point of the thread again?

Jeez.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 30/03/2024 12:18

Even if he was famous like Calvin Harris (who I hate by the way!) then so what? His job is a DJ, he plays records for money and gets paid for it.

Most DJs I know (and I know a few) they’re really boring. Because music is their life. They’re fairly professional and unless they’re really successful then their fame can come and go in waves. They spend a lot of time away, abroad if that’s where they’re booked and it’s late nights/early hours and weeks away. I won’t say much about their personal lives but at least one has cheated.

I am totally jealous. I would love my DH to be in the realms of OPs semi famous DH. I would love to see him.my DH getting his business cards printed at Vista Print and handing them out from his wallet to our respective Aunties and for me to reach the dizzying heights of accompanying him to such major events like err..school disco's and for me to finally be able to get my make up from any where but Avon.! How I envy the OP.

He can’t be as famous as Jeremy Healey, Judge Jules etc.

My husband was once almost interviewed on Spotlight news but it ended up falling through. He told me early on in our relationship. I stayed. It's hard sometimes but we deal.

I was once on an episode of Beat the Teacher and I did! OMG! I'm famous and I didn't realise!

I was once on Beat The Teacher and I got so horrendously mistaken about the true intended nature of the programme.

Thankfully, as I was a child, they agreed not to press charges.

I was sponsored by Bickerdyke's Finest Organic Yorkshire Horse Manure once. Oddly enough, I got loads of free Oakley sunglasses.

Not my Husband but my Brother was back in the day, used to go out on a weekend with him for a drink and a dance but it just became a pain to be seen with him because then even when i wasn't with him people would stop me and ask where he was and women would stuff slips of paper with their phone numbers on and ask me to pass them too him.
