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.

Bono stood on my daughter's toe.

I bought a second hand bike on eBay and when I arrived to collect it the young guy selling it was actually the manny, looking after 2 little boys in a big house and the seller was a musician away on tour who had asked the manny (who was a bit too attractive for his own good) to sell his and his wife’s old bikes while he was away. I didn’t ask who the musician was.

I was sad she split from Patrick Kielty because I think he’s a nice person too. And there’s 2 wee boys in the mix.

I was on 'Robbed, Raided, Renuited' and had to do a really cringey reconstruction, love/hate watching it back 😄

Short story - I caught my DH looking at Claudia Schiffer’s left boob.

longer story - we were flying home from Majorca and we walked pushed through a door and glanced back and I saw him do a double take. Claudia and I think Tim Jeffries (?) had followed us through the door and her boob had sort of popped out of her shirt. DH was sort of startled and mortified that he had seen this random woman’s boob but then I pointed out it was Claudia Schiffer, he hadn’t looked as far as her face - prob wouldn’t have recognised her anyway.

I once walked past Bob Dylan out for a walk. He was staying in a 5 star hotel nearby I presume. He was doing concerts in the city that week.
I’d passed him and then it clicked - That’s Bob Dylan” and I glanced back at him.
