That is a very tentative link Always Hopeful.
I once appeared on Johnny Ball's "Think Of A Number" and I held up a flower. Now that is a proper claim to fame.

Different house.

Where's '89 when you need her?! I'm feeling outnumbered here!
"69" you say?
Me and Chris C have the same claim to fame, well it's almost a claim to fame. We both lived in Paddy McGuinness' old house - not at the same time I hasten to add. I rented it after Chris.

That's as maybe. But personally, I prefer the more tenuous link to the more brash and obvious ones. With your claim, I'd have preferred it if it was a sibling or someone you just happen to know who appeared with Johnny Ball, then I'd have been more impressed.malcd1 wrote:That is a very tentative link Always Hopeful.

Hope is what keeps us going.

Wayne Foster once presented me with a BWFC pen after a Junior Whites quiz. He then suggested that I must always be in trouble, as I had a skinhead.

I am apparently related to the bloke who invented the computer.

My mother's sister's daughter's daughter's boyfriend's great granddad's sister-in-law's grandson's cat once sat on his lap.
That's not a leopard!

An embittered Bijou Bob rang Jimmy Wagg on GMR after today's game. Go Bobby.

Missed it. We didn't hear the phone in because they'd spent the first 20 fecking minutes of the hour banging on about Denis Law.

Fabrizo Miccoli's brother was my form tutor for several years. When they were kids they both played for the same team and the coach thought that Mario (my teacher) was better than Fabrizo.

Some 20 years or so ago I had cause to spend a week in a hospital in North Welsh Wales. 2 beds down was Ian Rush's uncle. He didn't get any visitors.

They thought they were the bee's knees.
They weren't.
I spent many a happy hour over the years telling them this.
