Untitled Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 anyone had a family member or someone close to them who has become famous through a weird or strange situation.a few years ago my grandad worked at a few races courses in the local area and it was his job to check that no one got into the vip area who shouldntanyway, one particular day princess anne tried to just walk in without her regular escort and just assumed she would be let in (she was wearing somewhat of a disguise), but my grandad the stubborn guy that he is refused to believe she was who she said she was and didnt let her in.and so the next day, the headline of a few national news was a pic of him with his hand in her face saying 'sorry luv, you're not coming in' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessHolly Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 My Dad's friend Rod used to work for the security company who let all the bands into the appropriate areas at Reading Festival. He's knows absolutely fuck all about bands or music or anything though. So this one year these two scruffy looking guys with long hair turn up and Rod's just like "Guys, you've got the wrong passes, these are for tomorrow, not today, you ain't getting it." They just turned around and walked away, didn't make a fuss or anything. A little while later, they came back with some chief security guy who just went "Rod, don't be an arse, these guys are in Nirvana, let 'em in!"Ace.

spellchecker Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 my mate's cousin used to share a flat with craig logan, the third member of bros that left the band. he dated dannii minogue and i was told he often saw her roaming around his flat in her underwear. but he was gay and hence it didn't hold much appeal for him.

Jenni. Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 My Mum's, cousin Claire's, aunt came to adopt her niece (My Mum's cousin). This woman is Sally Kellerman who had her breasts out in Mash, and is the narrator of a new animated film coming out called Delgo. Her husband is Jonathan Crane, a poducer who used to manage John Travolta, now a family friend, and has produced films such as Swordfish and Face/Off. Claire makes jewellery and Sheryl Crow bought a $500 dog collar for her pooch from her, and Claire gave my scruffy dog one for free when she came to visit. Sally also adopted twins called Jack and Hannah, Claire's brother and sister. Hannah's best friend from school is Julie Andrew's daughter. They're so rich we had to teach Hannah how to use a payphone.Tim, the brother in law of the main lady from "the Mummy" lived in our cottage for a year or so.There was a programme made about my Dad and his friend Mike for the BBC when they were about 20, because they built a plane from scratch.I was on Songs of Praise.

Sue Denim.. Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 My Dad invented the Scorpio submarine which was used to rescue the Russians trapped in their sub.

Guest Gasss Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 My grandfather's double bass features on the majority of Jimmy Shand's records. He was well known in the Scottish Jazz and Folk scene in the 50s and 60s. Unfortunately, it's not him playing it! Jimmy Shand's bassist elected to borrow his bass from his home in Dollar rather than transporting one long distances.My sister's band were on CD:UK and MTV2 in 2002. They were an indie rock band called Draw and released a couple of singles that year. My sister has since left the band but they are still going.
