Do any of you have any dubious connections with famous people.. for example my best friend at school stroked Eric Claptons dog,and another friend of mine ,during our nursing training,tested Dick Emerys urine!!!!!
also I used to see an osteopath who later went on to treat Emma Bs (spice girl) mum.

I used to work in a Waterstones and we always got famous people in - once Jerry Hall asked me where the Dead Sea Scrolls were - and I've seen Mick Jagger,Pete Townshend's wife,the nice actress who was Miss Bea in House of Elliot, Kate Adie,Michael Fish (who was grumpy when we asked him his surname when ordering a book)- I showed Keith Floyd to the loo and ordered books for Lady Annabel Goldsmith.... also I sold a sandwich to Germaine Greer when I worked at a health food shop ! And Salman Rushdie during an author event asked me if he could get by to get a sandwich !

My ex's sister-in-laws cousin was the villain in a Bond movie, and I stood next to Michael Palin at a charity auction but was too tongue tied to speak (he is, however, gorgeous). Perhaps the most dubious though, I caught an STD from a well-known t.v personality - for obvious reasons he will remain nameless!

Pj!! What a risk to take! Dubious isn't the word!

My Auntie used the same toilet as Michael Jackson (can you say his name here?).

I got to shake Will Smiths hand at the Smash Hit's poll winner party. We went in about 1993 and were possibly the oldest people there...still it was fantastic as it was the first of 5 times I got to see Take That live.
Oh dear, what have I confessed too.

I was at uni (doing the same course) and dh was at school with Ali G

I had a few dates with Martin Kemp's cousin ! didn't work out though....

My half-sister and her mum were extras in Gladiator.

I once passed the lead singer of the Fine Young Cannibals in the street, and turned to look at him at exactly the same moment he turned to look at me!

My cleaner also used to clean for Andre Previn...
I have also appeared on a 12-part TV show alongside Alvin Stardust, Graham Chapman (Monty Python team) and agony aunt Claire Raynor....

Also went to a wedding and sat on the same table as Jeffrey & Mary Archer!! (Before prison!!)

My dad was Elton John's postman

Don't really want to own up to it but I was on CrackerJack when little. Actually not that little, unfortunately in that embarrasing in-between age, with glasses and before the brace, knee high socks...
Munchbunch, I was also at college with Ali G, he was 2 years below though

And my ex-boyfriend's mum used to go out with Yul Brynner.

Mo2, what on earth was that programme? what a cast.

I have a Blue Peter badge and I had a picture in the Take Hart gallery, do they count?

John Nettles came in to admire our exhibition last year.

I snogged Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik when we were at University together.....

Wow philippat, Even now at nearly 30 I wonder how I can get a BluePeter badge. Did you ever use it to get in free to places?
Maybe I need to get Ds on there and then pinch his badge, he's (nearly) 4 so wouldn't understand the value of it anyway. Oh what a wicked mother I am

Phillipat - yes - well dodgy cast, and that's not mentioning the Catholic nun, John McVickers ( a train robber) and various other oddballs...
It was an obscure regional TV series based on Teenage Ethics (do they have any?) in the early 80s....I'm not saying any more, but I still have the videos, and pray that I never become so famous that some media journo will seek them out for national TV!!

By the way, I am SO jealous, I always wanted to get a picture on Take Hart... (but never sent any in - perhaps that's where I went wrong...!)

My dad and William Hagues mum are cousins!

(Still wish I had a Blue Peter badge too.)

Keepingmum, what did you win on Crackerjack? Was it just the pencil or did you get a cabbage or something too?

I worked in the pharmacy at Heathrow many years ago and failed to satisfy Robert Wagner - he wanted Bain de Soleil, I said we didn't have it - "It's a suncream", he said patronisingly, subtext you ignorant English shopgirl! - but we still didn't have it.

Also disappointed Solomon King (?) when I worked on the WHS stall there - he actually said "do you have my record?" so of course I had to reply "I don't know, who are you?" (I knew really!). The record was called She Wears My Ring, he was a one-hit wonder.

And I went out for a while with a guy who became one of Elton John's guitarists a few years later. He was a folky at the time.

Er - that's it!

My mum sat next to David Attenborough at a university gala dinner a few years ago. She said they had a fascinating (and very amusing) conversation after she'd got over her nerves.

Janh, I won all the stuff I was carrying when I got my third cabbage for getting the answer wrong. It was most unfair I thought, they asked me who wrote the Waverley Novels, how many 10 year olds have heard of Sir Walter Scott? There were all sorts of things, hulahoop, box of rice crispies, and of course my crackerjack pen and bag (probably still kicking around in the loft). Most prized though is my autograph from the Krankies, it must be priceless now (not).

At some charity event I asked Bill Wyman for his autograph and unfortunately for me the autograph hunter in front of me had asked him for a kiss. He automatically assumed I wanted a kiss too and lunged towards me OPEN MOUTHED. I was only 15 but I knew a sick old perv when I saw one and turned my head. He was so embarrassed as there were a lot of people and press around at the time watching. (The girl in front of me who did snog him was in the Sunday papers - sooo pleased I refused!)
