when on a transatlantic cruise back in '09, I met stood in a queue and had a long chat with Kenny Ball, a really nice guy.
Sadly no longer with us.
Mum and Dad were at a Round Table do at a hotel in Blackpool. While dressed as Robin Hood and Maid Marion, they got into the lift with Kenny Ball very late at night.Sadly no longer with us.
Some how Dad managed to swap a milk churn for a bottle of whisky with Kenny while in the lift.
No idea and dare not ask WTF was going on.
While on a night out in London, my friends and I ended up at a small, intimate kind of establishment in soho, where Pamola Faith was holding her party to celebrate the release of her new single.
This was before she became as famous as she is now, so nobody really knew who she was...
We were actually asked to leave, but were allowed to finish our drinks first. Brilliant!

I might have already mentioned this on the thread already, but until I was about 2, I was best mates with the future Queen.
My parents worked with the Middletons at Heathrow, and as I was born around the same time as Kate, we were regularly being babysat by whoever wasn't on shifts at the time. My parents have a photo in my baby album of both of us hanging out naked in a paddling pool, summer of '83.
My Dad then got a job in Abu Dhabi, and the Middletons went off to Jordan, so we left the UK until about 1995. I last met Kate, Pippa and James around then at a huge barbecue at their place in Bucklebury for her parents' anniversary, I think. Pippa is around the same age as my brother, and James around the same age as my sister. We played cricket in their garden, and I remember telling them how a couple of weeks previously, Prince William had served me match tea when we played against Ludgrove.
My parents still exchange Christmas cards with Mike and Carole, although since about 2001 a lot of the "news" has been in the papers first! And no, they didn't get an invite to the Wedding. To be honest I don't think they got much say about who got invited!

Tenuous link, and I suppose he's tenuously famous, unless you are into rock music, but a new neighbour of mine is a bona fide, Kerrang! Award winning (well three K! awards, actually) Rock Star!
He was/is lead singer in a local band called Hundred Reasons, who released 4 studio albums and notched up 6 Top 40 singles. They played Sonisphere in July this year, on before the headliners, Slayer.

To be honest, I would try contacting her again...... ^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think if she wasn't famous, I'd probably try and find her on facebook or something, but as it is I'm sure she has enough friends and various hangers-on to be doing with for now.I have suggested to my parents that they exchange pictures of grandchildren with them though - although my son is around 8 months younger than Prince George.
