The thread in which PHers reveal tenuous links to famous people.
Discussion
I take my lad to swimming lessons on Thursdays, and he is mates with one of the other kids in his group. I got chatting to my sons friends mum, and last week she informed me she went to school with the ginger girl out of the BBC drama "Oranges are not the only Fruit".
I was pretty impressed to be honest.

I once had a "conversation with a PH forum member (Fane on this thread) who went to the same school as an actor from Children's Ward, GBH (got fried by a power line on the second episode) and most importantly, would do anything for Dairylea, including kiss Veronica Dribblethwaite.
Daniel Street Brown was also a class mate of mine at Hulme in Oldham.

From recent news, Alistair Carmichael hit the headlines after his special advisor (Euan Roddin) leaked the memo between Nicola Sturgeon and the French ambassador.
I was at secondary school with Euan for 6 years
(woohoo, go me etc etc) 
John Burridge a goal keeper lived at the end of our road.
When he moved in he was doing star jumps and stuff and asked a group a semi-interested kids where all the Dads were, he looked a bit deflated when we told him they were all in Paris watching England vs France at Rugby.
He got a full Villa squad signed ball for my friend who was quite a sickly chap, which was nice.
I remember he also borrowed my Dad's wheelbarrow as he was building an extension.

Stumbled across this thread which made some entertaining reading so thought I'd add my own...

My girlfriend (now wife) used to work for a PR company in London, they did Elton, Blue, The Spice Girls etc.
I don't really follow celebrityness but one time I came back to the UK from an offshore job and was sat in reception waiting for her to finish and I think one of the Spice Girls made me a cup of tea.
Or it could have been Elton.
Bvlgari brought in a stack of nice sunglasses once; one for each spice and a bigger pair for Becks (as he was just together with Posh), soon after that he signed with Police so the shades were distributed in the office. I got Beck's and the Mrs got Posh's. Still have them somewhere.
Before that she worked for Sony Records/BMG with Simon Cowell as her boss. Shared in the Champagne celebrations when Westlife got their first No.1
As she was a PR thingy person she was given membership to a load of London clubs; China Whites, Browns etc and used to spend many an evening out drinking with celebrities that I would have no idea who they were. Once had a few drinks with a lovely girl called Natalie at the table. It was about 3 months later that I saw her on the TV and realised it was the Umbruglia! Phwaar.
In '98 I was backstage at the Bude rock festival and toddled off to find a lavatory. I rounded a corner to see Cerys of Catatonia fame getting dressed in her trailer, topless at that point. I guess it was my American Pie "Do you want any help with that" moment but we just exchanged a wave and off I went. Celeboobies!!

My mum has got Suzi Quatro's old front door on her house. (They knew each other in the 80's when SQ lived down Maldon way. Not Maldon Way, but in the area of Maldon.)
I regularly went to barbecues and summer parties with Matt "the ex-slightly homeless sofa surfer" Cardle. Still see him around town from time to time when he gets a weekend off.
My GF went to school with Ed Sheeran. She says he was the smelly, snotty kid that nobody liked, and was MEGA ginge, and she reckons he still smells.
As a teenager I landscaped the garden of one of the New Seekers. She didn't look very new.
Roy Castle very nearly ran me over once in his big burgundy Rolls Royce.
