A distant cousin is Jeremy Bulloch who played Boba Fett in Star Wars, and while I dined out on that as a kid I've never met him.

I remember that song, weren't they working at a dole office in Manchester at the time? It was played a lot when I was on holiday in Tenerife so I think it was more like 13 years ago than 6 or 7.johnmc said:Sweet Female Attitude got to number 3 in the UK charts about 6 or 7 years ago with a garage tune called "Flowers". It was a female duo one of which was called Catherine Cassidy - I went to school with her and our families were friends. Went on holiday to corfu together. All interesting stuff obviously, but, here's the clincher, Catherines mum is my godmum. Not spoken to her for 20 years though.
They have a bar in one of the Heatons I think called Cassidy's. Not been in as they are rags.

i faced him twice , two years on run in Lancs cup
he was effing awesome , and was only bowling off 5 yards
He was at Denton CC not Lawrence's mate, used to be funny if someone whacked him off his short run and then seeing him go long and sending one flashing past their head at 100mph with them shitting themselves, proper quality guy aswell, always had time to teach the kids.
stand corrected mate, yes he was a top bloke and had time to chat with us after both games

School sent me to do work experience at Shipmans Surgery in 1995. First day he took me to Dukinfield crematorium to see an elderly deceased woman (probably one of his victims) . He used to disappear in the afternoons for house visits. Coukdnt believe it when I was in Ibiza and noticed him on the front page if the Daily Mirror. Beat that for a claim to fame.

I didn't know seeing Brooke Vincent was a claim to fame, but seeing as others have - She used to go to my gym, I've stood next to her at a bar, seen her working at her mum's shop and served her in McDonalds when I was working there while at uni

I know a bloke that was taken out to dinner by scarlett johansen in an expensive London restaurant. Just the two of them. He didn't have a clue who she was.
Miss goat boy once accidentally stood on David Beckham's foot in kendals. This was about the same time that the entire nation had suddenly heard of the metatarsal. (She's short and a size 12, incidentally).

I used to work for this guy,driving an old barely legal 7.5 ton wagon,delivering plants for him into smithfield market,and shops and stalls around the city.
I was in chorlton one day,reversing behind a shop to drop some flowers, and two dozy looking morons were stood on the corner having a conversation,in the way of the entry,i jabbed the horn,reversed thinking they are bound to realise and get out of the way of this noisy wagon,(they didnt).
i got level with them next to the cab and this guy starts on me,"will you fuck off you almost ran me over blah blah",i had the window open and shouted "oh fuck off and move then"....
anyway they moved but i saw the guy giving me the eye when i left the entry,so gave him the look back......then i noticed,it was Shaun Ryder......drove off dead fast,laughing.
