Jill 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 My auntie married & divorced Jackie Milburn's son.. before I was born. I'm sure I have a few more, but I honestly can't remember them, which is probably an indication of how shite they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6499 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've met Paul Hartnoll, Moby, Erez Aizen and Amit Duvdevani (Infected Mushroom), Daniel Kitson, Michael Elphick. shared a flight from LA to London with Robin Williams, though obviously we were in different areas of the plane. Think I met Squarepusher at a festival too, bit vague that though. I've met a few famous aussies but they meant nout to me so I have forgotten them, and someone from Shortland Street too. Tall skinny bloke. My mum used to play (in the toddler sense) with Trevor Horn and my brother works with Richard Hammond's dad, how's that for elongated? Oh yeah I met this old geezer last summer who regaled to me the tale of how he figured out a way to bring the price of pills down from £15 to £5 in the early nineties and was mates with Mr C, he was, as it happens, Ebeneezer Good!
