Here...Oh, Penny, your claims to fame are brilliant! Here's a few of mine:<br /><br />When I was 13 Mark Morrison (he of 'Return of the Mack') fame performed at my school. My friend used my pen to get his autograph.<br /><br />My A-Level history teacher's grandmother was the cousin of Shania Twain's grandmother.<br /><br />A couple of years ago, my bf and I were road-tripping in Central US. Going through Missouri we stopped at the Mark Twain Museum. It was midweek and a slow day so there was just us and the Prince of Monaco (and his entourage!) in the museum. The museum staff were taking a lot of photos of their royal visitor and we made sure to place ourselves in the background of more than a couple!Catherinehttp://twitter.com/britishredcoatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-71725509290936025702012-03-14T14:40:23.711+00:002012-03-14T14:40:23.711+00:00I can TECHNICALLY hum (although I can't roll R...I can TECHNICALLY hum (although I can't roll R's, much to the frustration of my singing teacher) it's just that when asked to hum under pressure I crack and can't get more than one note out without spluttering. By all accounts it is quite the spectacle. <br /><br />K xKatielasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286827059480866574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-30609250559168062452012-03-14T14:31:16.860+00:002012-03-14T14:31:16.860+00:00Dancing dads!!

Insanely jealous of the Brian Blessed one in particular - legend. <br /><br />I thought I only had a couple then realised I could probably go on for days... <br /><br />My old German teacher was Tom Jones' cousin, in my teencrush haze I asked if he could get me Robbie Williams' autograph. <br /><br />I once, at the age of 5, sprinted off towards the Proclaimers having spotted them at Edinburgh airport leaving my rather bemused parents behind. For the record I'd still do that today. <br /><br />I used to have a guy in my class convinced that Paul McKenna was my uncle. I wish. <br /><br />And finally (because I have to stop otherwise I WILL go on for days)...<br /><br />My (actual) uncle came 2nd on the dancing dad's competition that Graham Norton ran on his TV show. He was beaten by an 80 year old man, he was robbed.steffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10898777265552711541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-64691314307809852612012-03-14T12:11:53.513+00:002012-03-14T12:11:53.513+00:00Oh God, I'm 4 pages deep and still reading.
M...Oh God, I'm 4 pages deep and still reading.<br /><br />My mum and dad were once in a motorway service station with me. Being aged 2 I was toddling round the place, as you do, and Billy Connolly spotted me and remarked to his companion that he wondered what his daughter was up to at that moment. I have no recollection of this incident.<br /><br />I saw someone at Glastonbury last year but I can't remember who. i seem to remember being quite impressed though.

She didn't like him though, and she still thinks he's a prat. <br /><br />I spent New Years Eve 2010 with Daniel Radcliffe's girlfriend. And I didn't realise it until last week. She's extremely nice, although she did laugh at my inability to hum, I won't hold it against her because EVERYONE was laughing at that.<br /><br />KxKatielasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286827059480866574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-12860469041893164312012-03-14T10:56:12.378+00:002012-03-14T10:56:12.378+00:00Mine is that Katherine Jenkins uncle is a close fa...Mine is that Katherine Jenkins uncle is a close family friend.
