One of my friends is Ray Winstons Niece,

 

My mum has sold houses to Steve Davis, Frank Bruno and a couple of other 80/90s legends. She showed Chris Eubank a couple of places too... in my mums words he was "a very perculiar chap". Bless her.

Once Nassah Hussein (ex england cricket captain I think ??) came in to have a look at a few places, mum asked for a few details and he got all humpy... "don't you know who I am".... knob!

 

My cousin is Alan Bircher, Wicked swimmer and about 2nd in the world for long distance open water swimming. (& has size 14 feet!)

 

Another of my friends is a carpet fitter and went round to work at Liam Howletts (prodigy) house at about half nine in the morning and walked in on a radio 1 lady DJ racking up lines of 'ahem' on the kitchen table... she was polite, offered him a line :D

 

My girlfriends uncle is in the group 'truesteppers' think they did a track with vikky beckham a couple of years ago. Before that they were cool though.

 

Thats it I think.

Well it couldn't be the Steve Davis of Radio One, Jo 'look at my interesting cup of tea' Whiley, could it?

 

LOL

 

I was gonna just say it but wasn't sure if i'd get in trouble for legal reasons or something :)

 

She's got a dog named after a bad ass rapper...

 

I might have well just said her name really shouldn't I? ;)

I used to be related by marriage to Roger Moore apparently.

 

My friend lives next to Pete Doherty but I read in the paper yesterday he's being evicted! Loads of old Jaguars outside apparently, he keeps losing the keys and buying more cars.

 

I think Joe McGann (The Upper Hand etc) must live locally. Seen him 3 times in as many months around Southampton.

 

Oh and I met one of the first guys who started the Ibiza thang all those years ago in the Elysium when it was cool...

My girlfriends godfather is Edward Woodward, and her godmother is Michelle Detreace (Married to Edward Woodward) who played Betty in Some mothers do have them. I've not met them though.

 

A very close friend of mine's brother is Andy Beckwith who was in Errol in Snatch, was in Eastenders and recently was a pirate on the Flying Dutchman in Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

 

Work-wise, there's loads of F1 and other motorsport people.

I've no direct relation to famous people, but I have had three celebrity encounters.

 

The first was when I was fifteen. A friend of mine was heavily into Gary Numan. He knew what village he lived in, so we went for a drive there. We stopped at a local newsagent and my friend went in and managed to persuade the newsagent to get his newspaper delivery records out, on the claim that his cousins name was Webster and that he couldn't remember what road he lived in, and find Gary Webbs actual address. (Gary Numans real name).

We knocked on his door and after a few uncomfortable minutes, he became more friendly and talkative and gave us an autograph written on a page he tore from a pad he was writing songs on.

With hindsight, it was very unfair of us to do that, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

The second was bumping into Cheryl Baker on the Blackpool Pleasure beach whilst a few friends and I were on a holiday there.

A couple of years later at work, we sold a mobile phone to Rita Crudgington, (Cheryl Baker), who later tried to make a warranty claim on the phone not working which was found to have lots of white sticky stuff inside it!

 

Lastly, one of my uncles died a few years back. One of his sons used to be a Radio Caroline DJ, (Pirate radio station in the 70's for all you young kiddies!). As such he has a fair few celebrity friends. One of which sat next to me at the funeral. Jules Holland.
