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.

Baba, I was on the first episode of the Tube but didn't get to actually talk to anyone - just drooled from afar!!
My 3rd cousin was Margaret Lockwood (famous English actress - dead) .
My MIL was in HELP with the Beatles and other dire 60's movies (not that HELP was dire!!). After that she was a Bunny Girl at the PLayboy Club in Park Lane.
I once read a bedtime story to Bob Geldoff and Johnny Fingers (Rag Week stunt).
Have told Princess Anne's husband to "wait a minute please" while I was in the middle of taking a photo and then looked up and realised who it was.
My Mum once called to my Dad how ugly the aviary in London Zoo was, just after it opened, and Lord Snowden who designed it, was standing right behind her.
Mu nanny used to work for AC/DC's drummer and also at Arundel Castle.

I stayed at the same hotel as Nicky whats-his-name (the hairdresser with blonde girls hair).

Jamie Balch, Steve Robinson and Lyn Davies (highjumper?) live around the corner from me.

I sat next to Graham Henry at dinner at my mum and dads house.

Met John Powers (is that his name?)(him from The La's and Cast) in San Francisco and asked him to come to a party with me. He obviously didn't fancy me.

Met Neol Gallagher in a hotel and he got me into the Oasis gig that night.

My mates boyf lives with the dopey one out of My Family.

Jeffrey Archer asked me if I fancied an orgy!

AussieSim · 26/09/2003 14:26

I shook hands with Bob Hawke (he was Aussie PM at the time and came to our school).

My dad was in a band called The Aztecs - used to be Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs, before Billy went to LA.

I spoke to the then Lady Di when she was on her post engagement tour of Australia with Charles (Maitland).

I was rescued from a king tide surf at Terrigal (NSW) by Spike Cheney who went on to win a silver medal in boxing at the next Commonwealth Games (was quite some time ago).

I had a good chat with Jeffrey Deaver (Author) after a reading and signing in Sydney.
