I'm friends with John Lennon's half brother.

My dad was in the same year at Quarrybank school in Liverpool as John Lennon. He was quite a character even then.

My late uncle once made the News Of The World for impersonating the singer Bobby Vee onboard a ferry to Ireland. On the basis that he could sing a bit he passed himself off as the entertainer and was treated as celebrity. When he got to Dublin he was put up for nothing in the best hotel, got interviewed by local press, signed autographs and met the mayor. It all went pear shaped when he panicked about how far the deception had gone and he decided to do a runner by nicking a car. All this happened was I was a toddler so I have no idea how long he got.

By the looks of things, impersonating Bobby Vee is guaranteed to land you in hot water:

I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure I have a unique name (first and surname). I've been checking regularly on the Internet and haven't found another yet

Yes, me too. Unlike my brother [MENTION=159]Stumpy Tim[/MENTION]. I once added "him" to a family conversation by guessing his hotmail address. This conversation went on for days before the owner of said hotmail address said "I'm surely you're all lovely people but I've never met any of you"



Oh, and I drank a bottle of whisky (well, minus 2 or 3 measures) when I was four years old. I was in a coma for 3 days after having my stomach pumped. Nurses told my parents I had a 50/50 chance of survival and if I did, would probably be brain damaged.
