Mike McShane from 'Whose Line Is It Anyway' looked at me when I was in a cue

A snooker cue?

Quote: Sean Prower @ February 22 2009, 6:55 PM GMT

I might of made that up

You might HAVE made it up

Angry

I used to live next door to a man who was in the same class as Jeremy Beadle at school.

I once kissed Carol Decker out of T'Pau - on the lips!

A Decker-smacker?

I put my hand right up Toby Anstis's sleeve!

(By accident. I was reaching for a free carton of milk and was a bit too enthusiastic.)

My brother played for Bourne Town who played in a celebrity match against a team that contained Bill Oddie.

I saw Melvyn Hayes on Rampant Horse Street in Norwich on his way to the Theatre Royal

A colleague at work has the surname of Atherton, the same as former England cricket captain Michael Atherton...they're not related. ;)

We have those in London now but BoJo doesn't like them.

:D

I saw Gordon Brown on my TV. He's the Prime Minister of Great Britain. I live in Great Britain.

Laughing out loud

I threw up all over George Best's local pub (before he died).

Couldn't you have just thrown up all over George Best?

My daughter is still angry at me for cock-blocking her

You cock-blocked her? I hope that she was later sold to a circus.

We helped Neil come up with the name "The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band".

Seriously?!

Quote: Geoff Mutton @ February 22 2009, 11:01 AM GMT

Do they have a younger brother called Master?

LOOL.

My Aunties Godson is the guy who played the killer in Hollyoaks.

Aunty's*

I knew the man who invented top deck shandy. An innovation in it's day.

There's a picture of a young me, in ex-Everton, West Ham and England footballer Tony Cottee's autobiography.

I thought you were going to say in his bedroom. What a disappointment.

My Uncle went to school with the little bloke who played the German officer who would always shout "'tler!" when saluting, in 'Allo 'Allo!.

Sam Kelly - ace.

One of the blokes from the early '90s Indie group The Farm lives in the street next to mine. A mate of mine met him in my local launderette once, but, instead of asking him about The Farm, he asked him what it was like meeting Salt 'n' Pepa, at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party.

Oh God. Laughing out loud

My Nan used to live by Tony Booth, from 'Til Death Do Us Part, aka Cherie Blair's Dad, when he was a young Drama student, and she said she once observed him stealing a tin of biscuits, from a local shop.

All property is theft.

Abraham Lincoln is my great (x something) grandfather.

I am related to Cheryl Baker.

I went to the same school as a murderer, and that 'comedian' Iain Lee. They could be the same person.

I was dining in a posh restaurant a few years ago when Sir Trevor McDonald came in with his grandson. Later on the same day I almost (sorry, world) knocked Claire Sweeney in front of a taxi in Covent Garden.

I used to live on the other end of the street to the school attended by Princes William and Harry.

Tim Brooke-Taylor presented my primary school with their first mini-bus. My cousin was chosen to show him around the school.

My parents, aunts and uncles all attended the same school as Tracey Ullman, Jimmy Carr, and Ulrika Jonsson. My aunt remembers Ulrika (who was a couple of years younger than her).

One of my great-aunts used to work in a small mens' tailors where Terry Wogan bought his clothes. (I suppose that means she's probably seen him almost naked. Sick)

My doctors surgery was opened by the Woganator.

I have met and 'mingled' with numerous celebrities and industry names through my work for this site, including Kevin Bishop, Charlie Hanson, and a number of others I'm too tired to mention.

I met Terry Jones after a special screening of The Complete And Utter History Of Britain (https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/complete_utter_history_britain/).

My nan taught Matthew Cottle (of Game On fame). My cousin's maths teacher is his wife (incidentally, at that same school as Carr, Jonsson, etc).

William G. Stewart, Hale and Pace attended what is now my university. Natasha Bedingfield was also a student there.

One of my uncles has been a drummer with The Pretenders.

My grandad used to be British judo champion.

My wife's friend (who is also the step sister of one of my friends) is Sharlene Spiteri's cousin.

My dad took a pee with Noddy Holder.

Someone I know shagged Mick Hucknall. I'm not saying anymore than that. Except that I'm not alowed to play Simply Red when my sister comes round at Christmas.

I was at a party once and Matt Dawson was there.

I had a walk on part in a film and one of the leads was Jason Issacs. At lunch he came and sat at the table I was on and he laughed at my jokes.

I worked on a tiny film once and Nick Moran was in it.

My wife's Nan used to live in the same sheltered accomodation as Geri Halliwel's grandmother.

I was going tenuous, but all of yours are quite good. I've met numerous amounts of celebs, band members through work. Not naming any though. :)

I once stood in a lift with Paul McKenna at Broadcasting House. Oh, and somebody I knew at universirty claimed that he'd met Michella Strachan and she was really "hard faced."

Skin like an old leather boot?
