I've been researching my family tree and have discovered that a great, great, great grandmother was a Sturgeon, so I may be a distant cousin of Pistonheads favourite redhead...

My cousin has been doing this on my mothers side.
So far she has confirmed that John Reginald Halliday Christie was my Granddads cousin and that that side of the family married into the Sutcliffe's of Halifax.

I see Lee Mead (played Joseph, formerly Denise van Outen’s husband) regularly in my local Waitrose.

This week, he looked at me as I whipped out my mobile phone, then realised I was just looking at the list on it, and wasn’t trying to take a photo.

It might be best to just hand yourself in now...;)

As a steward at a Conservative Party meeting, where Enoch Powell was speaking his "rivers of blood" speech, I was noted in the paper as having "viciously attacked" someone running at him waving his fists. Me; 8 stone dripping wet, attacker about 6 ft and solid muscle. All I did was cower and stick out my foot to trip him up. I was only 18 and only joined the party because there was a bird I fancied.

Singer Maggie Bell apologised to me when I bumped into her as she was going out for a half-time fag at one of her pub gigs.

I had sex with a female who had 'enjoyed' Prince Andrew's company at Gordonstoun. She was the same age as him. Just thought I'd add that.

Did you know that before you got starkers?

I‘ve had a pizza at Pizza Express in Woking.
I hope it wasn’t the same age as the one Prince Andrew had.

No, but I was 17 at the time so I doubt it would have made any difference either way.

I once stood behind Martin Johnson in the checkout queue in a small Co Op store near Leicester. He's blimmin' huge!

I'm surprised he could fit in a small store.

Maybe that was what made him look so big...

Well it's an interesting variation on the "3 handshakes from Hitler" thing.

Your dibber and a royal dibber have dibbed in the same honeypot.

Sir, I am your obedient servant, did you see a knighthood go this way ?

Coming off from when I mentioned Nick Lyndhurst, I've also heard that David Jason is more like Frost, and less like Del Boy when it comes to personality.

I stabbed Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, in the chest several times, and got away with it.

I once helped look for Engelbert Humperdinck's lost dog.

It wasn't me that found it.

I have had a number of conversations with Martin Johnson. He is a big bloke.

I have stood next to Tony Robinson in a motorway service area. He is small.
