Friends of the Famous

[Heraldeer]

Anyone friends with a famous person? I don't mean live in the same village, see them in Tesco's or know their second cousin - I mean actual buddies.

My sister was on the front of the Daily Telegraph a couple of months ago, I've been on TVAM and the Marathon, does that count? And my aunt was mates with Sally Gunnel.

Unless your sister is Hillary Clinton and your Aunt Fatima Whitbread - not really.

When my Grandad goes and stays with some relatives in Swindon, he requesntly hangs out with Melinda Messenger, as she lives round there and is friends with the people my Grandad goes to see. I know a couple of the Kent county cricketers, to talk to, but wouldnt regard them as 'friends'

I saw the queen in the passenger seat of a Jaguar once. I think Prince Philip was driving. She looked quite miserable. But I guess no, I don't really know any famous people.

My mate called Stuart Smith is an up and comming Stand up comic. Maybe in a few years I'll come back if he hits the big time.

Dr Shipman was my doctor from aged 5 - 22. He was a 'friend of the family'. *shudder*

[netty.m]

Why is zeus no longer friends with Wayne Rooney.

[andytreble99]

[thewillow]

This is all a bit sad and very uncool.

[nykkieberry]

Originally from Gee Cross, Hyde...left when I went to Uni. My parents were with Dr S until he was arrested - and a friend of my mum's kept in regular contact with him in prison.

I got a �10 christmas tip from Peter Gabriel and a mention by name in his fanzine for the buscuits I used to deliver to his recording studio when he was producing 'So'. Does this count? (I also sold Hugh Cornwell an apple!)
