~Tenuous Links To Fame~
Since Sarina almost had one with her imaginary chat to that boring scottish twat from Travis it got me thinking.
Tenuous links to famous people. The more recent the better.
Personally the most recent is:
I met,talked to AND bought a drink,not too long ago, for those two guys from the comedy band 'Flight of the Conchords' who are doing that Phones4U ad where they drive around in a van with a speaker singing a jingle they wrote.
So there.
How about you lot

Re: ~Tenuous Links To Fame~
My cousin won masterchef and wrote a series of cookery books for sainsbury's.
I could add more, but I won't.
Oh, and 'I'm an internet celebrity posts!' are hereby anticipated and ridiculed.

Re: ~Tenuous Links To Fame~
I've met Helen Sharman (first British astronaut, she was famous for a while )
I've also met Princess Diana. We had a rivetting conversation where she asked me how old I was (about 6 at the time I think)
And most impressively, I saw the guy who plays Gimli in LOTR and the big Egyptian guy in Indiana Jones at Heathrow airport.

Re: ~Tenuous Links To Fame~
I was the last person in the world to interview Joseph Heller before he died.
I used to know Andrei Kanchelskis as I went to the same Karate club in Stockport with his very fit girlfriend. She once got mugged when with her boyfriend, tried to do some of the karate we had been taught only missed the mugger with her kick and fell over leaving good old Andrei to hand over his wallet and watch.
My Dad knows loads and loads of famous people but I dont so its very very tenuous.
In my starcraft playing days I was often described as famous when I played on battle.net. I would join the game and everyone on my team would just go mental and the other team KNEW they were going to lose so they often banned me.

Re: ~Tenuous Links To Fame~
oooh...
also, i spoke to ricky gervais over the internet (yes it was him, it was on the channel 4 website after he had done his show). And made him laugh, or at the very least made him pretend to laugh.
Also, i saw someone who might have been tom morello walking along the road in clapham, but i dont think it was him as he was touring the US at the time

Re: ~Tenuous Links To Fame~
Posted by megla on behalf of megla's friend helen, who appears to be too shy to post a message on a discussion forum.
Although if she's heard about some of you lot, I don't blame her
Anyway:
I walked into Jay Kay (literally - I don't think he was too happy ) at a service station in bonny Scotland while I was on a geology field trip at the start of this semester.
Is this too direct, or does it qualify??

Pffft
I saw Princess Dianas mother getting arrested for drunk driving.
I saw Connie Huq tossing a haggis.
And my personal favourite - last summer I cooked a burger for Daniel O'Donnel :)

if you can count seeing someone toss a pancake surely you can just count every single gig you have ever been to?

Re: ~Tenuous Links To Fame~
Have posted this before, but I will post it again in this thread as I feel it bears endless repeating.
Was in a movie (as an extra) with Pierce Brosnan, directed by Sir Richard Attenborough, spoke to them both for about half an hour each. Was onscreen in film for about 12 seconds.
Went to high school with Alanis Morissette, knew her quite well. We used to exchange letters until she made it all big, and I never heard from her again...
I dated (and slept with) Jakki Degg, who most of you will never of heard of, but she was a staggeringly attractive Page3 girl.
Was almost run over by Prince Charles. (was jaywalking outside Windor palace, gawking like a tourist (which I was) and he stopped in front of me and honked repeatedly. Afterwards a police officer came up to me and told me I was nearly killed by royalty)
Met and chatted with David Borneaz at the club China White in London, nobody else seemed to have any idea who he was, nice guy.
Met a liberal assortment of leaders of nations,but thats just in conjunction with work, so doesnt really count.

It was a religious experience. Was with her for 6 months, we split when I finished my degree and left the country. Now I think she is with some footballer.
She was ALL that.
