The thread in which PHers reveal tenuous links to famous people.

In 1995/1996 I did a placement at the Employment Service (as was) with a guy called Brian Jelliman, I was told that he used to play with Marillion. Honest.

Jelli Fish?

That's a brilliant photo.

Roy Castle was a good bloke.

I was at a party down in Devon last night. I was minding my own business, sitting quietly and eating my meal, when I was gently bumped from behind by Lord David Owen as he squeezed past to get to his seat.

The thug.

Later he stood by the dance floor watching me & Mrs B. cuttin' a rug. He may have smiled at us.

Splitter.

A mate of mine has shagged Kayleigh, which is the ultimate tenuous Marillion link

Same date as me...

I've met Dean Gaffney. Well, if by "meet" you can include drunkenly stumbling up to him calling him a tt, then I've met him. And James Nesbitt in the same way....

Me too but not the 49 years bit

Me and Dean

I met Rolf Harris on a train to Manchester when I was about 11 years old. He was (and still is as far as I know) the nicest 'famous' person I've ever met. He took the time to help me draw some doodles and I've still got the framed pics on my wall.

Just browsing back through this thread

BTW sorry if this has already been highlighted

Don't want to derail a funny thread, but does anyone know the names of the blokes with Roy? I was trying to explain who they were to someone but couldn't google them as I didn't know their names. The tall bloke had a stammer or something.

I sat next to Cillian Murphy and his wife and children at a family wedding in France. He was a nice guy although I didn't know he was an actor and nice family. Good wedding too. Lots of wine and Comte

The tall one is Eli Woods, the other is (I think) Jimmy James' son James Casey. By this date James himself was dead. It's one of the funniest sketches in comedy history.

Roy Castle, James Casey and Eli Woods.

I've interviewed maybe 20-30 footballers and around the same number of celebrities as one of my contracts is to write features for a matchday football programme. Favourites are Jasper Carrott, Des Lynam and John McClure from Reverend & The Makers.

The chap that lives three doors down for me (and who I cat sit for now and again) is a chief modelmaker at Aardman Animations who has worked on the Wallace & Gromit films, the Shaun the Sheep films and was on Sunday Brunch this very morning.

There's a wikipedia page that says I was 'briefly famous in the late 1990s'.

There you go - you can all reference me and my st musical career

Apparently we outsold Blur in Poland & Turkey during our peak. Hahahaha, just found that out!

Was expecting it to be some horrendous Brit pop type track, but your stuff is pretty good! There just isn't enough flute in music these days

Like that you have a MySpace page - reunion tour?

We used to own an Audi coupe owned by Brain Forbes, Nanette Newmans husband

A mate of mine owns Max Clifford's old Jag. He doesn't like to talk about it. Much.

Another mate owns Ted Malt's Moggy Minor softtop.

My Dad was mistaken for Adam Faith a lot when he was in his early twenties.
