I went to school with a finalist in the first series of American Idol (not sure that counts as someone of note - but best I can do).

ImBarryScott · 29/08/2007 14:17

Not oak house I'm afraid, though I remember many a party there (always seemed to wake up on the lawns....).

was at Hulme Hall as an undergrad, then Woolton Hall as a tutor during postgrad years.

God, I wish I was still a student.

I went to school with Charlie what's-his-face from the now demised Busted.

Rather disappointing really as usually my old school churns out impressive sorts such as Steven Fry, the Suchet brothers...oh I forget who else... that cricket commentator. Any way I wasn't there with them so they don't count. Only Charlie who I never spoke to as he was some spotty hormonal little shite when I was in the sixth form.

CountessDracula · 29/08/2007 14:18

I knew Ben Goldacre a little bit at uni. Different colleges, mind. My chap at the time used to know him and I'd pop round to visit. He smoked far too much.

most famous members of the collage were a little while ago

'Among these are the philosopher John Locke, religious leaders John Wesley and William Penn and the writers W.H. Auden and Lewis Carroll. Albert Einstein studied at Christ Church briefly in the 1930s. The College also has a close connection with government. Christ Church has produced 13 Prime Ministers and numerous Cabinet ministers, Bishops and civil servants.

The House's most celebrated political alumnus is William Gladstone who was Prime Minister 4 times during the 19th Century. More recent members include the comedy writer Richard Curtis and the composer and broadcaster Howard Goodall.'

I just missed Curtis and Goodall, who I'd love to meet at a re-union. [sigh]
