top 10 tenuous celeb links..

[Dave the OAP]

Ben Andrews used to live in my village (he might still do), and used the swimming pool at the house at the top of my road while he was having physio when he was injured. And he goes to the same hairdresser as me.

Nic Minassian also uses the same hairdresser as me, and he is good friends with a good (ginger) friend of mine.

Don't tell laura!!!

I had the dubious pleasure of sitting on the next table to NICK FALDO two weeks ago in a pub in Windsor. His wife/girlfriend was not all that!

I sat on a table next to Nigel Mansell in Auckland a couple of years ago - he wife was a right minger. Quite shocking

I also next to Nicole Kidmans sister in a cafe a few weeks back. She's on TV over here... Can't stand her

I played Golf in La Manga about 12 years ago, Nigel Mansell was teeing off infront of me with non other than Jasper Carrott

 

[Danny-Boy]

Christmas dinner with Esther Rantzen

Shouldn't that be on "most useless ways of spending a public holiday" thread?

Did she bring any phallic veggies along to cook btw...

 

[Danny-Boy]

In about 1972 I worked in a City office just along from Nick Owen, who was then a minor journalist on the "Financial Times".

And I do believe he once gave me a ift in his car.

 

[Danny-Boy]

One of the blokes who used to be a regular in The Bill lives up the road from me.

He played PC Mike Jarvis. He's also a Palace fan.

Hope that's not the bent welsh sergeant character they had a few years back.

The actor wandered up to me and had a chat, it must have been about 2004 at the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia where I was running some of the pub games. Felt very strange at the time.

The Bill actors often used to come into Olympia, it must have been near their studios I guess.

 

[rcf0712]

some interesting interpretations of "vaguely famous" on this thread - Ian Botham, David Bowie, Lote Tuquiri, Michael Vaughen....

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

The crown-prince of Denmark (their version of the the Duke of Edinburgh) a couple of months ago.

and my hero David Attenborough, way more than 'vaguely famous' but just wanted to mention it !!

 

[tonymgc]

My grandad was mates with Reg Varney from off the buses & Lucy Beale off eastenders is a distant cousin. Only ever met her once at a random family members funeral

 

[Superphil]

Oh, and Blu, the singer from the band GirlFriday (girlfridaymusic.com) is my business development manager.

[clapham_gull]

I once potted some balls (from close distance) that Steve Davis was unable to pot for a trick shot.

They were edited in later.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

My sister goes out with Hugo White from The Maccabees so met the group a few times, she lived with Laura-Mary from Blood Red Shoes for a while as well so also met her- that's about it.

I've met Norman Barker on business, does that count?

The 'sometimes' bass player for The Wedding Present is romantically involved with someone I know who posts on NSC

Back when I used to work at The Grand, I met (well served) amongst others I'm sure I've forgotten...

Wendy Richard
Lynsey de Paul
Paul Daniels & Debbie Mcgee
Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart
Robert Maxwell
King Hussein of Jordan

and a random old slapper who wanted me to stay in her room and prove that all room service waiters were not gay

 

[MikeySmall]

Lote Toquiri, the Australian rugby player (scored in the world cup final in 2003) lives round the corner. Nice guy. I've met Michael Vaughan a few times - he's my mates cousin. I stayed in his house one night actually. And been to a strip club wih him

I saw Lote Toquiri in a bar in Manly a few years back. He is stupidly BIG.
