A prostitute that Wayne Rooney slept with broke my collar bone as a child in Qatar.

What? This demands clarification more than any post in this thread.

Jenny Thompson was a childhood friend of mine when I lived in Qatar. Through unusual circumstances, she was at fault for me falling from a great height and breaking my collar bone

OK then, I'll stand the Operation Yewtree chaps down.

I've had a drink with the drummer from Dr and the Medics

My Mrs sister walks Lisa Stansfields dogs for her

I used to fancy the pants off of her as a teenager.
What are her puppies like now?

I'd like to stroke her spaniel's ears.

MiL has shook hands with Thatcher and Diana, is related to an ex-Pope, has escorted Claudine Auger around Rio and got hit on by Carlos Reutemann (turned his propositions down though... bit of a playboy apparently).

FiL has flown in Harry Oppenheimer's private jet, sampling his collection of wine.

Do I win?

Er... that'll be a big no.

my mates grandad wrote the maynards tune for:: "there's a moose loose aboot the hoose"

Unless your mate's grandad was around in the 18th century, he didn't write that tune.

My best mate's grandad bought a dog from the great-great-great grandson of the third cousin twice removed of the great-great-great-great grand-daughter of the housekeeper of Sasaki Yasutsuna's butler's niece.

I did the Finance and Insurance handover for Rowan Atkinson when he bought one of his Honda hybrids. He is a throughly nice chap.

Rowan Atkinson bought a Honda on finance?

He should hand in his Pistonheads card.

I was once in the checkout queue behind Diana Rigg at M&S on the King's Road. Do I win?

Aye, 45 years ago.

Right you are. She looks absolutely awful now.

Rotten teeth and matted hair.

So is she just a normal manky old woman now? Shame, I'd have liked to be able to say I'd still give her a go.

I'm currently playing in a band with a drummer who had two top forty hits.


In 1997.


With another, better band.

That's a real link to a tenuously famous person. Start your own thread.

I've hugged Simon Pegg.

Him and Martin Freeman, I hate them. I hate their stupid fking smug faces. They've got st-all to be smug about, ugly little bds. Crap hair too. And not funny. Or endearing. God, I hate them both.

What I like est about that ^^^ is that in the unlikely event that you registered on either one's consciousness, neither would give a fk about you.

Yeah, but that's because I don't look like a and I'm not always on the fking TV.

I can't remember if I've said before but my mate Andy goes to the same gym as Scottish newsMILF Jackie Bird.

He says she's a right .
