My great grandad was Edgar Everest (hence my name), one of the founder members of Brighton United (pre BHA).

And Felixstowe is in Felix's sock, which is why I haven't been there

Elvis Presley was once sick over my Aunt. (This is absolutely true, it happened backstage after one of his shows in Vegas)

Forgot to say that my great grandfather was the illegitimate son of Edward VII. Therefore I should really be King and not that upstart Elizabeth and her dreadful Greek husband.
