Tenous links to famous people?

When I was young I had a weekend job in a deli in Henley on Thames and spoke to George Harrison to take his order over the phone! I also met Dave Allen (comedian Now dead).
 
I just had sunday dinner sat next to one of the particularly hot members of the Bristol City squad.
*swoon*
:D
 
My parents own two chairs that used to belong to Brian Trubshaw.

The Daily Mail has referred to my Farther as 'an old lefty'.

I've delivered furniture to a house that Hugh Grant though about buying, but pulled out.

I've been in a pub at the same time as Keith Allen.

My ex has met Bill Gates, (apparently he's even more boring then she expected)

Oh and I've been in the same shop as both Liz Hurley and Pierce Brosnan.

I was in wetherspoons once at the same time as Jordan/Katie Price, actually sat back to back - didn't even know it was her til I saw it in the papers next day.

My dad was on business in Germany & Belgium once with a guy that looked very like bill gates at the same time as he was over there, as they got out the taxi they were approached by someone asking if the guy was bill gates, after replying in the negative they saw the guy walk on up the street and cream pie the real bill gates.

Why am I not shocked that those two chose a 'spoons.

same person :P I was sat at the next table with my back to her and she was sat with her back to me barely 2 feet apart. I noticed a bit of a stir when she came in - which is why it stuck in my mind - but thought nothing of it at the time.
 
I'm good friends Tim Campbell, with the winner of the first series of the apprentice.
My cousin's cousin is Martin Keown.
I have rap battled Scroobius Pip.

My mum went to school with Tony Jacklin, the golfer. My girlfriend has a friend whose uncle is Malcolm McDowell of A Clockwork Orange fame.
 
Ok.

Being a Chef I have seen and cooked for a few. Ones that come to mind who I have also met are.

Tom Clancy (wrote Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games to name a few)
Phil Collins
Cliff Richard

'Mavis' from coronation street. I once did a BBQ for her on a beach abroad.
David Bellamy
The Levellers
Jack Sugdon from 'Emmerdale'
 
I'm in a relationship with Claire Forlani

She just doesn't know it yet ;)
 
One of my Mothers relatives is Rod Davis of The Quarry Men, who were pretty much a precursor to the Beatles having had Lennon, McCartney and Harrison as members.

My Mum once had one of the goonies at one of her house parties.

Obi Wan (Sir Alec Guiness) used to drink at one of the local pubs we went to occasionally, used to make me and my brother behave somewhat better knowing there was a Jedi in the place, never did see his lightsabre though :(

I once did some work for Rory Bremners ex-wife and met him a couple of times, I also know the real reason as to why Noel couldn't cut to Chris Evans on his TV show when they hid those camera's in peoples TV setups.

Fred Dineage, Hugh Dennis and a few others live in the same town and always seem happy to nod and say hello if you do so to them.

Jude Law was seen at the local station, my god the local Tesco express staff all wanted to close the shop and go mob him lol, Bedales School is up the road and a lot of celebs send their kids there.
