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

My wife spent a lot of time on tour and at home with the McCartneys when Paul was married to the rather wonderful Linda. Apparently she was one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. wife was only about 5 at the time though!

I've met Stephen Fry a few times in the green room after filming of QI, nice chap.

I was almost run over by Laurence Llewellyn Bowen (tv interior designer thingy) in Port Isaac, Cornwall. Driving a diesel silver Skoda Octavia IIRC (well this is PH).

Another one, my Mum's best friend used to look after Jay Baruchel (The Sorcerers Apprentice, Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder) after School every day when growing up.

Hope they were tenuous enough.

I know someone who went to school with Llewellyn Bowen. He shot him in the foot. Good.

I bought my house from Mr Robertson of Robertson's Jam fame.

I was goalkeeper at school until the future England goal keeper joined. That was pretty much my burgeoning football career over by the age of 11.

My Mum worked as an estate agent and dealt with a house sale for Ronnie Barker (in Pinner)

My dentist used to live next door to Bob Holness of Blockbuster fame (in Pinner)

My Mum's school friend went out with Elton John before he decided to be gay. (she lived in Pinner)

My Dad's 2nd Cousin is Inspector Mullet in A Touch of Frost.

My Wife's been on Casualty twice as a nurse, Doctors as a bar maid and a receptionist in the Sarah Jayne Mysteries. ETA: She was in a DFS advert too.

I opened Dick Emery's RAC application form.

[vonuber]

I was nearly run over by the king of Sweden.

Cliff Richard is a cousin of some sort. My mum used to escort him to school when they lived in Lucknow.

I once stood at a urinal next to Roger Moore in the Cafe de Paris in Monte Carlo

[Justin Cyder]

Noel Fielding is some kind of distant cousin to me. Never met the man & think he's about as funny as genital warts, but he is a relly. Sort of.

[SlimRick]

I asked Keith Floyd for directions once - couldn't remember who he was while I was speaking to him.

I sat next to Nick Hewer on the ferry to Dublin last year.

I had a 3 month fling with Central Television news reader in the early 90's.

Bravo that man!

Not me - But my brother and his work mate were in a lift with Michael Caine.

After a short period of slience my brothers mate said 'You're only suppose to blow the bloody doors off'
Michael turned round and said 'Dont talk to me, I dont know you' and then got out the lift.

Papa Hotel said:

Hang on...

The Ambassador Sauna? Bottoms Up?

Which establishment did your mum work at??

Kirkfieldbank Hotel just outside Lanark and Page Four pub in Bathgate, she managed them for Mr Di Resta.

I knew he also had icecream vans (which have been known to have dodgy goings on - not his I hasten to add) but didn't know he also had rubdown places.

I turned down Posh Spice in a pub in Maidenhead, when she and the girls were recording their début album. She wouldn't take no for an answer, and left in tears.

Richard O'Brien knocked a tray of dirty plates from a waiter's hands and over my head in The Ivy. I was seated at the time, yet he glared at me like it was my fault.

Gibbon.

[Justin Cyder]

Is he the bloke that thinks he's a woman? No wonder it glared.

[MrMagoo]

I once had a coffee with Emma Watson (sort of)

I also saw Dick and Dom walking in London the other week.

That's about it sadly ....

[droopsnoot]

A bloke who used to be a member of the same classic car club as me is somehow distantly related to Lewis Hamilton.
