  1. I am sure i am related to Bob Marley. His Great grandfather married into my family surname and came from Rye Sussex.
    Could you be, could you be related ?

  2. The beast is awsome. :)

    Strange that he would be able to tell you the last 20 UK monarchs with ease, but couldn't scan through his chicken curry and 4 pack of Stella? :thinkingface:

  3. Lol he did do it himself I just chatted to him :)
     
  4. Hmmmm, we all love chatting to you V, but pray tell, how chatting to him, in your mind "helped him"? :thinkingface:
     
  5. I'll tell her to look out for you...(no ma'am, he's not a midget.)
     
  6. Saw Tony Hadley last year in the airport in Rome. Ms J got a picture with him and the kids. I hid out of the way as I hate that fucking song.... (Gold)
     
  7. Drove past Tilda Swinton in Elgin earlier this year.. She was buying a new wardrobe.

  9. Bumped into Paul Daniels in Albufeira a few years ago. He was looking truly miserable and Debbie McGee was following a short way behind. I think they had had a tiff. :thinkingface:
     
  10. I knew a Charlotte who worked with the Queens horses at Windsor Castle - she was on the front page of the Sun News Paper as a photographer had snapped her leading one of the Queens horses out in jodhpurs and her sports bra :thinkingface: tenuous I know - but have I shagged NZDave's neighbour :eek:
     
  11. As I've worked in TV/Film/Music/Theatre for over 20 years, it's too easy to use work incidents.
    Archie Gemmill did go to my secondary school, many many years before I did I just add.
     
  12. I met Jimmy Saville once, he didn't fix it for me and my eyes have only just stopped watering.

    On a more truthful note, I got served by Alan Brazil in his Ipswich pub - it was many moons ago but a good pint.
     
  13. I’m like a real man........but smaller ;)

  14. My father told me last year that within the family line, the ancestry had been traced back into the 1800's. Within that line were farmers from Monmouthshire who then went to Australia (of their own fruition) in 1850.

    Their son, was called Alfred Deakin who later went on to be the second Prime Minister of Australia and served as Prime Minister on 3 separate occasions. I doubt it will get me a free pass in but my dad found a whole lot of new relatives to contact and converse with

  17. My grandmother (gor bless er) traced our family lineage back some years. It turns out our ancestor was O’Neil of the Red Hand, King of Ireland. She was apparently the Duchess of Tyrone although one would never have thought it of her as she was a down to earth housewife from East Lancs.
     
  18. Soz, you are absolutely correct.

  19. Whilst in the paddock at Assen when Hodgson was still in wsb, his mrs asked if she could take a picture of me with my hand down Suzie Perry's knickers. Suzie was a full size sex blow up doll in a two piece bikini with suzy perry lettering on her chest we were carrying around all weekend.
     
  20. Tenuous, eh?

    I met Peter Osgood (footballer, possibly ex-England?), Brian Jacks and Neil Adams (judo) and Leighton Rees (darts) at a various holiday camps when I was a kid and couldn't care less. My dad knew the wrestler 'Scrubber Daily' and the real identity of 'Kendo Nagasaki'. My aunty's cousin is married to the posh bird out of the 80s sitcom 'Duty Free'. Nick Skelton (showjumping gold medalist) went to my school. Moved house and then went to the same school as Phillip Schofield. I met his dad when my car broke down in the ford next to his house. I was in the year above his younger cousin, who I also knew. I was in a marching band and met Jimmy Cricket and Fred Gee from Corrie at various gigs. Met Chris Walker (bike racer) at the NEC. Met and directed Sean Bean for a video game voice over. Was third row at the NEC when Prince William walked past and sat on a Ducati Superleggera. Saw his mum at a school down the road from mine when I was a kid. Met a load of 70s 'saucy' (Carry On type) actors on the beach at Weymouth but can't remember their names. David Moorhouse (Olympic runner) used to run past my house for training and my dad knew him and sometimes tried to run with him.
