Mrs DWS has been doing our family tree and apparently I am, through marriage somewhere in the past, related to Lord Lucan. I kid you not. I didn't believe it either!!!
Also to Robert Boyle, of Boyle's law fame!
Obviously they are very tenuous links.
So where is he ?Also to Robert Boyle, of Boyle's law fame!

Come home from school one day and there was a big black Jag parked outside my place - not a common sight on the estate I was brought up on.
Walked into the house and Mum was making tea/coffee for a group of black chaps sitting around the kitchen table. My Dad was there too (a rare visit from the knobjockey) and all seemed jolly.
Dad soon drove off in the Jag with the group of black men.
Turns out my old man was the driver/minder/general thug for The Real Thing.

My best mate at University (UCL in the mid/late 90s) was a fantastic, self-taught guitarist.
He went to audition for a uni band who were looking for a guitarist. The band loved him and offered him the gig on the spot. He slept on it but then turned them down as he didn't really like their style of music.
The band?
What is now Coldplay!
