I was on live TV once back in 1999 on MTV and my mate hit Donna Air with a spoon. I believe it got into The Daily Mirror or Daily Star.

Or to simplify:
Blake Fielder-Civil's step-father was formerly your children's headmaster.
My best mate's step dad is the drummer of the band, The Verve.

Yeah, well, uhhhh, my parents went to the same grammar school as Ulrika Jonsson. And, apparently, Jimmy Carr. Although not at the same time, I might add. Further, my nan taught Matthew Cottle (Game On) when he was about 6.
I've been on TV a few times too. But nothing much interesting.
On S4C every year at the brass band competition at the National Eisteddfod for about five years running. So who didn't see that then? Eh? Eh?
Your parents went to the same school?

Yes... Is that rare?
Yeah! It's quite cute though.
I think it's rare to keep in touch with anyone from school, really. I only still have one friend that I knew at school. (College and uni are different.)

They/we still live just down the road from it too. I guess that that's even rarer!

True, true. Surprisingly enough, I don't have many friends.

Presumably he's one of the ones who's not Richard Ashcroft then?
Aw. You've always got us, Aaron. *pats head in patronising fashion*
I used to play football and go to school with, and am still good mates with the current Liverpool Reserves team captain, who just went on loan to Sc**thorpe. Future England captain there, trust that.
Hang on, that's a bit harsh...I know Scunny has a lot of idiots, but theres no need to blank out the towns name.
Incidentally, I once walked out of a club behind Anouska, the first person to be evicted from Big Brother 4. I've been in clubs with many a celeb in my time, but she is sufficiently unfamous enough for it to be cool.......

Turn off your language filter. 
I know Frankie Rage, who I'm sure is going to become an infamous serial killer, dressed as Hattie Jacques.
And The Sun would dub him "Hacker Hattie", on account of his using a meat cleaver to do in his victims, and the whole sorry affair would be known as "Carry On Killing".
