Orville beat the crap out of your godfather's daughter??? :shock:

My friend Ed bought his car from Matthew Corbett (of sooty and sweep fame).

Two years below me at school was a girl whose surname was "Kidman". She was Nicole's cousin.

My friend Mark Horwood was on "Later" with Jools Holland at the beginning of April, 'cos he's the keyboard player and co-writer for "The Mummers" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mummers

My great Uncle was a test pilot for the Wright Brothers.

Played in a garage band in high school with 2 brothers that later formed the band The Black Crows.

I took Julia Roberts on a date in High School..

Had breakfast with Niki Lauda, Alan Prost and John Watson the Sat before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1985.

I met Zidane outside a hotel in Nante's during the 1998 World Cup.
Shook his hand and said "Zidane!" He said "oui!" and walked away.

I am related to both Baden Powell (the founder of the Scout movement) and footballer Andrew McCombie, who in 1904 broke records when his transfer fee from Sunderland to Newcastle was paid at the dizzy heights of £700ish, the highest transfer fee ever recorded at the time.

I was stood next to Mike Reid in the McDonalds queue a couple of weeks ago.

My sister met David Hasslehoff in Ilfracombe on Monday.

I called Dermot O'Leary a c*nt in a bar in London a few years ago.

I worked in a shop whilst I was a student and sold Terry Pratchett a weather vane.
