To ask your tenuous claims to fame?

[GetAGripNigel]

The more tenuous the better.

I don’t want any of your “My mum used to clean for a famous pop star” because that turns into pages of tiresome questions and “Oh go on tell us who it is/give us a clue/no I can’t sorry”

I want such tenuous connections that nobody will bother asking follow up questions.

I’ll start.

My dog was Mr Tumble’s dog’s mum.

While on holiday, my daughter rode a retired race horse that had competed in The Grand National.

My DD is on. Couple of dating apps. One of the Jedward twins matched with her profile. She didn't match back 🤣

I assumed they were both friends of Dorothy

I've appeared in a TV series and been in scenes with Danny Dyer.

I appeared on Ant & Dec's "Banged up with Beadle!" Didn't meet Ant or Dec as was on a sea fort somewhere off Portsmouth,but did meet the lovely Jeremy 🙂

Banged up with beadle ! What as in jeremy Beadle

I googled him i think hes quite the silver fox now ,i think I would rather shag him now then when he was looking like terry from brookside 😂😅( have been watching the re runs on STV)

I went to school with one of the guys that the movie California Schemin’ is about.

A lot of girls at our school fancied him back then. I didn’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

My husband is an audio producer and I have met lots of bands, and been to quite a few VIP gigs, of those the lead singer of Train wanted to fuck me. I was engaged so I said no to his security. I was 24.

Ok I have a few. All pretty shite.

I had a shag in the bathroom at a house party with one of the Scratch Perverts (if you were into hip hop in the early 00s this will mean more to you 😂).

I also had a few shags at Glastonbury with Charlie Winston, who had a time of being very famous in France but no one has heard of here.

I am distantly related to Cilla Black.

Deborah Meadon now owns and lives in my childhood home.

Chris Packham came to my childhood home to film an episode of The Really Wild Show.

I projectile vomited out of my mouth and nostrils at the same time right in front of Howard Marks at his daughter’s 30th birthday party.

I went to James May’s house once as my ex was friends with him.

I sold cigarettes to Wendy Richard and June Brown when I was a teenager

Ok last one.
I shagged Sean Bean on the sinks in a toilet night club, back in the 90s.

Admittedly, it was a very very vivid dream, because I had a massive crush on him, but boy, it was gooooood! 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Soul Sister! I loved the time that ding came out

Oh no not Mucky Monaghan!

Went to school with Mr Bean's kids, neither of whom were in my year

Shared popcorn with Billy Bragg around a campfire

I'm friends with a someone who used to have a fairly close friendship with one of the Bee Gees.

I'm a huge Bee Gees fan myself, and got to know this person from a (now defunct) Bee Gees Mailing List.

Sean?

I was sat on the floor with my friend in rock world in Manchester, when Ice T and most of Body count walked past us they had been playing a gig earlier in the evening.

I wish! Rowan Atkinson

Rowan is brilliant in Not The Nine o’ Clock News. I’ve been spending too much time - this week even - watching sketches from it!

Let’s just say my love for the programme .. … kinda lingers …..

Haha I do think he is quite suave as Blackadder, but I've always had a thing for Sean Bean (and his lovely accent!)

I shared a lift once with Barbara Windsor and her partner . It was in a hotel in Marylebone.

My Dad was a churchwardenv with Clare Balding's Dad.

I once knocked on the toilet door in M&S on Kings Road, as whoever had been in there had been a very long time and I wasn’t sure if it was locked or in use. It was the actress who plays Gail Platt in Corrie. She was not happy when she came out.
