[Boxingshibes]

Also in proper jobs met many influential politicians and a dictator.

Anyone else?

Which of the following is true -
The old Duke of Edinburgh told me that my dancing reminded him that nobody is perfect.
Neil Morrissey tried to pick me up in a hotel bar but I had to turn him down as I was meeting my grandad.
When I was a teenage girl in a bikini on Weymouth beach I asked Mr Lucas from Are You Being Served for his autograph and he said, "Yes of course son".

I, myself, am infamous.

I know or knew socially Paul Merton, Pinball Geoff from The Repair Shop, Tajinder Singh from Cornershop and someone who used to be in Home and Away who I shan’t name as I know them currently and quite well and it may be outing.

Met quite a few in a previous job, inc Cynthia Lennon, Joan Bakewell (goddess), Hugh F-W, Graham Norton, Jodie Picoult.

Will Smith (the British one who writes Slow Horses) used to be my neighbour and we had a couple of parcel-based encounters and conversations.

🤣 username, tidy post in amoungst a bunch of sad brags about being friends with Jim Bowen’s nieces hairdresser.

None

I’m friends on FB with an author a lot of you might know. My very good friend is also an author you may have read. I went to school with Meera Syal but not seen her since 1976 ! I’m the accountant for a non league football club. That’s about it here 😂😂

I don't know any personally but one of my best friends is Eamonn Holmes' niece. Only met him at her engagement party and wedding.
My dad is an old friend of Liam Neesons eldest sister. I met her once when I was a teenager and she was so lovely.

someone I know really well has had Tiffany at her house in Cannock for a party 😂 (if you’ve ever been to Cannock you’d know why this is bonkers) I’ve seen the video so I know it’s true. (Friends childhood friend was married to her)

Eamonn Holmes niece. 💀 😂😂😂😂

Well you’ve won top prize for me.

I’d much rather this than people bragging that they’ve “shagged” 😖rockstars. Plus, you wouldn’t need an STI check, so that’s always a bonus.

Great response by the vet 😂

Yes!

Several well known authors are friends and a Dr Who writer is in my phone, although it might confuse him totally if I rang him, at least he gave me his number.

Clang! From the very braggy name dropping!

I remember that her name was Mary Bale. I’m not sure I’ve spelled her surname correctly.
But, her name has always stayed in my head as the ‘cat in the wheely bin’ woman.

I know someone on the traitors tonight. I’m very excited. They’re a lovely person and I hope they win

My older brother knew all of the Factory lot, so I've met all of the Happy Mondays/New Order etc. He was really good friends with Caroline Aherne, she was lovely.

That’s right, I remember. I also forgot Nigel Havers.

Michael Portillo?

Know and met are very different things. Met:
Ewan McGregor, Kelly Brook, Jimmy Carr, Daniel Craig, Marcus Waring, Kasabian, Mylo, Jamie Oliver, Kelly Hoppen, Andy Burnham, Michelle Ogundehin, Jazzy Jeff, Pete Tong, Alexander McQueen.

wrong thread?

am FB friends with an author and am in one of their books.

Me none.

My husband went to school and was in the same football team as Woody the drummer from Bastille.

My niece and nephew are related to Christopher Biggins through their dads mums side of the family.

I’ve seen the real Humpty from Play School in Bradford.

Tidy. Crackin'. Oh! What's occurrin'?
