phoebejo Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I loved the Top 10 Tenuous Links segment of Chris Evans drivetime show, I'd hear it on the way to work, so I'm glad he's carried it over to the breakfast show. Todays was Damon Albarn and I have a link to him My ex-boyfriends best friend was the brother of the lead singer of Elastica, Justine Frischmann and Justine used to go out with Damon Albarn. What's your tenuous link, to anyone famous, not just Damon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L is a chauffeur, one of his passengers one day was none other than....RHCP My niece's ex boy friend was friends with Alex Kapranos (singer in Franz Ferdinand ) who is best pals with........BRANDON FLOWERS ! My ex's friend is mates with Russell Crow My friend's aunt married into the BE-RO flour family, but I don't think I'd get any brownie points for that one I got chatted up by Kirk Brandon once, but I doubt anyone's even heard of him.

ailsas mum Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 B. I. L is a chauffeur, one of his passengers one day was none other than....RHCP More than once, A. K. left his after shave in the car once, you should have seen the fights here over which brat was going to get it. O.H. has also driven Metallica, Gordon Brown, Gary Lineker, Idina Menzel ( singer in Wicked ),Alistair Darling, Princess Anne, George Bush's personal secret service agents , Charles Kennedy, Menzies Cambell, Ricky Fulton.I should add that I have sat in the same cars as the above . When he was in the police he met Elton John, Billy Connolly, he also when he was in the police had to help Princess Margaret into her car when she was taken ill very early one morning whilst leaving a night club in Edinburgh . Eldest daughter used to go out with the drummer from Snow Patrol, was good friends with The Supernaturals, has met Mark Owen ( take that ) and Marti Pellow, Robbie Williams, she's met others but I can't remember who they are. OH is also related to the first labour prime minister. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spins4me Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Oh is a member of Surrey Cricket Club so there's a couple of things: OH has had lunch with Andrew Strauss (England cricket captain for those of us who are non sporting) Tim Rice said "good night" to me when me and OH were leaving a Surrey Cricket Club dinner. At the same dinner I had a very short chat with Mrs Selwyn Gummer - as in me, "Isn't it a lovely view?" Mrs S G, "Yes, it's beautiful." OH played in a rugby match refereed by Jeffrey Archer.
