Another vacuous thread! Tenuous Claims to Fame

To add to my long list up thread, I also saw Bob "From On The Buses" in Chelsea Girl Boutique, Kingston. I was scrabbling about among the lower racks, came up quickly and was confronted by a ginormous pair of gnashers belonging to the aforesaid said "Bob" or whoever the actor was who played him, as if that wasn't frightening enough, he was also wearing a safari suit , well it was the '70s All very alarming for me still in my teens. He was with a glamourous looking blonde trying to help her select something to wear I presume! Super tenuous I'd say

Mick Jaggers ex and chanteuse. She was in the papers this week being quoted for something or another, oh yes, getting her voice back, after COVID

Their notorious arrest (in the 1960s) in bed together and mythical tales of Mars bars seemed to keep her in the news ever since. She has led a colourful life since.

I was asked to dance by a handsome actor at a wedding when I was about nineteen - he had his own TV series at the time, but later advertised sofas! Tom something? Can't remember now.

My aunties sister married a Beatle. ?

I've just remembered that my late FIL was stuck in a very narrow London street when the lovely Katie Boyle came by. She helped him out by saying, "Oh, I think I'd better reverse," she went back quite a long way, and as FIL passed her and waved his thanks she gave him the biggest smile. He was always a little in love with her after that for her gracious manner.

My aunties sister married a Beatle. ?

Right!
That's it!

These are supposed to be rubbish connections
Eric Clapton's dentist; the donkey from the Durrell's; anything to do with Bernie Clifton.

You can't come swanning on here with an actual Beatle as a relative!

(Which Beatle? )

At secondary school I was best friends with a girl whose sister's boyfriend was the cousin of Ian Anderson, of Jethro Tull. Does that count?

ILBC wasn't Katie Boyle incredibly aristocratic?
I vaguely remember my mom saying that she was Russian royalty or something.

My friend is a friend of the mother of Daniel Craig and changed his nappy!

Another Ian Anderson one...

My FIL was responsible for inspecting the operation of Ian Anderson's fish farm to make sure it adhered to quality standards.

Excellent work.
It's all in the detail.

As a child I was led on a pony by Andrew Parker Bowles, Camilla's ex, who's mother was a scion of the Catholic Womens League in Newbury and went to the same church as us!

My claim to fame.I have washed Cliff Richard and Justin Hayward’s hair!!

A member of my family
was taught music by a lady
who married a man
whose son wrote songs for
Robbie Williams.

May have slipped up there on the claim if Robbie Williams is too famous.

Alas, I missed the chance to sniff Honor but I trust Boots Paracetamol tablets got rid of her pain.

My primary school friend, Christine's father (H V Kershaw) wrote scripts for Coronation Street in its early days.

Just remembered, my mum's friend danced with Princess Diana.

At my daughter's wedding Herr Flick from 'Allo 'Allo asked me out for a drink. Arthur Brown (The crazy world of) was best man. Dave Gilmour was a guest and Kate Bush didn't make it because her son was poorly. Whilst getting autographs from school mates when she left school one lad wrote in her book that he 'would love her forever', that was Olly Murs, and Leroy from The Prodigy used to come to my house to hang out with my son.

Another sniffing opportunity!

Oh and I forgot , my mum was engaged to David Whitfield.

Also just remembered I stood next too David Essex in the intermission of phantom of the Opera in Manchester oh the fame and glory ?

I used to play with a dog that belonged to a Great Train Robber who lived in our street!

Ooh!
This is a good 'un.
The actor David Rintoul (who played Dr Finlay in the early 90s) mistook me for Sinead O'Connor in the green room at Pebble Mill. (I was waiting for a friend who was a runner.)

He was very ingratiating when he thought I was Sinead; when he realised that I was not he was very rude, and would not even look at me.

Horrible man - he really showed his true colours.
