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

My Wife's cousin / friend is Meatloaf's Assistant / Manager / Professional bestest mate. She's in Vegas at the moment whilst he's doing a residency.

My Wife until recently was wiping arses as a Nurse in South Wales, I suspect neither would swap jobs.

My Mum went to stage school with Dennis Waterman and her old man was a sound engineer who recorded Jasper Carrot's live LPs.

My Mrs gave Mo Farrah his London Marathon medal yesterday.

I had my hair cut at my local barber on Saturday, previous chair occupant and cut-ee using same scissors was Uri Geller. Yes, I got the girl to check they were straight!

He is apparently a bit OCD about germs and has "his own special haircutting jacket" worn only by him!

A lad who i was friendly with at school is now playing the drums in Status Quo.

God knows what happend to the old drummer.

My mate's twin sister cuts Garry Monk's hair.

[littleguy]

not so much a person per se, but they filmed the observation round film for the Krypton Factor Group B final (1985 I think) in my old house.

I have no idea how I remember this, but they paid my parents £100 for doing so.

My ex-wife's brother was a child-actor and played Stan & Hilda Ogdens nephew Damian in Coronation Street.

Nice guy and still gets the occasional cheque when those episodes are repeated somewhere....

Does someone pay her extra on the side to make sure she does a terrible job?

I had a bit of an argument with Alex ferguson in the business class lounge of Manchester airport over what to watch on telly.

[With these feet]

I once asked Michael Aspel for his autograph when he walked into the butchers shop. Then realised I didnt have any paper. I was only 6 at the time though.

Lived opposite Leslie Phillips and once saw him pull out of his drive in his MK1 Escort. (Thats how long ago it was!)

I was once asked if I was famous by my neighbour. They had spotted me on TV in a link on a motoring show that Tim Harvey presented, at that time he was driving for the team we ran in the BGT.

I'm beginning to think that everything regarding Garry Monk goes down as a bad job, good intentions or not.

I sat on the next table to Les Dennis in an Italian restaurant in Liverpool in 2010.

I sat on the table next to Richard Attenborough in a restaurant in the South of France. He thanked us at the end of the meal for not being star stuck (as his grandson had spoken to us during the evening) and leaving him alone etc.

Nice bloke.

The next morning I woke up with him next to me in bed.

(Some of my story is a complete fabrication...)

[Type R Tom]

Bizarrely I’ve only ever seen 1 famous person outside of where you would expect to see them and that was Richard Madeley. First time was about 8 years ago on a Virgin Atlantic flight to Miami, I was in premium economy upstairs on a 747 (I think)and he was in front of us in 1st class. The second time was 3 weeks ago outside a post office in Polperro, Cornwall. He'd been on Michael Mcintyre a few nights before.

[Bill Carr]

I've played on the same stages as Westlife, Daniel Beddingfield and Sam Bailey (X Factor). Not all at the same time, you wags.

Is that tenuous enough?

What an arrogant prick.
I would have replied "I have no idea who you are".
Thank you for not being star-struck by me. Nice bloke? That's one of the most cringeworthy things I have ever read.
