Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

[MeadowL]

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 💃

That's him!

I’ve never heard of Darren styles

@whatdidshedotogetahillnamedafterher Primark has some good make up ranges if you fancy a change... and you won't even need to hook up with an international DJ

This fella might be ‘well known’ but I can guarantee I won’t have heard of him as I can’t name any DJs*.

‘Famous in DJ land’ is not the same thing as ‘famous’. An old school acquaintance is married to a ‘famous DJ’. He travels frequently and earns very good money but the majority of people wouldn’t know who he is.

*Apart from Fatboy Slim and Carl Cox. Maybe it’s one of those two?

Lots of 'DJ's' play festivals - most are way down the set list - like carnations - fillers.

I can't think of anything worse - having been married to a guitar player in a band - every bloody weekend taken up with travel, gigs (including festivals), playing in New York 5 weeks after I had our first via c section, endless rehearsals - no envy here - it's quiet a lonely life I was happy to give up!

If this is the case could well be once of my husbands friends who is as humble as anything and certainly wouldn’t describe himself as famous despite being a headliner. I’d actually be pretty embarrassed if it turned out to be you R!

Me neither but he has a long wiki.
I'd be more impressed if it was Darren Sampson.

Have you ever looked up the definition of famous? I don't think it means what you think it does.
P.S. DB is famous. I don't live vicariously through his achievements.

It is indeed a lonely life for the wives of band members.
Especially when children come along.
Kids can't go on tour for weeks on end.

Also the fear of infidelity.

It might be good money - but the lifestyle is lonely.

@MeadowL

But is your superstar famous sponsored booked up international DDJ going to be doing the year 6 leavers disco? Have you called the other mum a cunt in the WhatsApp group yet?

Thats what we all want to know. We don’t care about any of the other stuff.

I think it’s all gone a bit Pete Tong for the OP on this thread.

The neighbour of a family member was in the greatest British gangster movie ever made x

You stole my reply!

Well don’t fine me £200 and call me a

😂
🎯🎯

My DH is so famous he has to go out with a paper bag over his head. When it's windy like today he has to stay home in case it blows off and he gets pestered for selfies.

Mrs TheBeef, is that you?!

lol 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with this. I was not married to him, but when young I lived with my boyfriend who performed at festivals like Glastonbury. I got into a lot of festivals for free, But its not really compatible with a family or with having a job yourself. I did work full time, so at times we did not see each other that much. But it was fine as a young twenty year old with no children.

I don’t think it’s Fiona Merry (just checked her insta) but even if it is. Jesus how bloody sad to start this thread! I’d never heard of her DH by the way let alone would recognise him.

@GladAllOver Get him a metal bucket for his birthday.. should hold in place better on windy days

It must have been hellish for him when his well known face appeared to the 'hoi polloi'

Can you not sellotape a chin strap made of elastic to stop the paper bag from ascending like a paper lantern in the wind?

I know who OP's DH was - and I can confirm that he was at stratospheric fame-level in the 80s.

All I'm going to say is 'Ralph Dring's Mobile Discotheque' - and if you know, you know.

That would be hilarious if the OP’s husband was Darren Styles.

Only getting paid 4 figures for international events? Tragic. Tell him he needs to up his prices pronto Fiona OP!
