connie Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I once met the Princess Royal when I was in first year, I had to shake her hand and everything.My older sister was in ELLEgirl once, as the people they stop on the street and ask "Why do you like living in ______". And she pulled Justin Timberlake the day before the MTV Awards in Edinburgh.My uncle's famous in archaeology circles. He writes books and stuff, but they're pretty dire, unless you're into archaeology or dinosaurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 My cousin was in the army and got his name in the paper for choking a new recruit with a belt and forcing others perform sexual acts on each other infront of a room full of other recruits. Up until this point i had always been the black sheep of the family but i have no idea what to do to beat that.I have met mother of the bass player from The Darkness.Jim Leighton worked for me for a day.I talked o opne of the Proclaimers during the warm up to his gig at the music hall. He was wnadering about in the crowd and i think i was the only person who noticed him.I have met Robbie Shepherd.My cousin plays in some scottish band thats led by some famous scottish music guy but i cant remember his name.Shelton Benjamin the wrestler got really pissed off when he saw my sign at the AECC. Elwood was holding it up though. He was doing his good guy bit when he spotted the sign that read "Shelton is a Little Bitch" His expression changed and he stomped off to the other corner. We laughed like fuck. then he won his match and celebrated on every corner except the one near us. Sorry to any shelty fans who stood near us.Same night my mate Stu got a reaction from Chtristian for his "Christian is my Hero" sign.Oh and apparently i look like Matt Morgan who has now been sacked. My ex Girlfriend went to school with the lead singer of Killing Heidi....yeah i have no fucking idea who they are either other than they are Australian.I have met Gorbachevs wife. (hope i spelled that correctly)I have had a picture published in a little shitty coffee table book of crap. I got a free copy and my pictures the best thing in it.

Marsh Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 My fiance's Dad's cousin is Tony Banks, keyboard player in Genesis. Next year when I'm married I'll be related to a member of Genesis. Great.My sister's ex used to share a flat with Rod from Idlewild - I got backstage passes the first time they played the Music Hall and me and my mate got absolutely plastered - he won the "how long you can keep your head in a basin of iced water" contest and I blethered away to the drummer's Mum and Dad for ages. They were slightly uneasy to say the least. We got even drunker than Bob, the old bass player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_1903 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 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' date=' 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.[/quote']Similar to my uncle:he's a socialist and worked on the 'rock against racism' gigs back int day. Three scruffy teeenage guys walk up and he says "Sorry lads, can't come this way" They trudge off. 5 Minuates later a flustered looking PR dude runs up shouting "YOU'VE JUST TURNED AWAY THE CLASH" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Fat Porn Star Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 My grandad was in the commandos in WWII and was one of the 4 men sent to kill Rommel in the Middle East. Anyway, he wasn't there, they got caught and were set in front of the firing squad. Rommel appears and tells the soldiers to let them go. In the 50s or 60s there was a film made about it, Desert Rats I think, one of the actors plays my granddad.Willie Miller waves and says Hi to my dad all the time. Even stopping talking on his mobile to shout hello. However, my dad has no idea why and claims not to know him at all. I'm convinced it's because they look like brothers.
