Tenous links to famous people?

I once went to a model railway exhibition with my dad (I have no interest whatsoever) and met Pete Waterman.

I used to chat to Pete quite often as the company I worked for looked after his IT. He really likes his trains! lol

I sat next to Jo Perry of Aerosmith at a hockey game in boston garden many years ago.

Oh and I was next to Marti Pello (sp?) in the queue at Starbucks in Bracknell about a year ago lol.
 
I've met Russell Brand. My uncle is a London cabbie and quite often picks up celebrities. My mum met Ray Winstone in a pub. Getting really tenous now, a friend of mine's mum touched Ozzy Osbournes leg when Black Sabbath were playing in a local club.
 
ooh lemme see...

My grandad used to deliver stuff to Ian Fleming - can't get much more tenuous than that
I used to work in a lab where Gary Lineker was a regular visitor, I have pics of him with my dad presenting stuff.
I'm distantly related to sir philip sydney
I'm also distantly related to (and family friends with the family of) don stewart whyte (arrested couple of years back as a terrorist).

While working at screwfix I processed a package for "david bowie" not sure if it was the real one, someone else working there crossed out the name and replaced it with major tom :D

Before or after they turned rubbish?

Hard to say! Probably after to be honest. It was the night after metallica played Gig on the Green in glasgow. Myself and a mate blagged our way into a venue in Glasgow where Bruce Dickinson was recording a radio show for Radio 6 or 8 or something. Was a great night!
