Do you know any famous cunts? How many steps does it take you to reach one through friends or acquaintances?
My one is I have a mate who beat Wayne Gardner at Goodwood or somewhere on a classic and I once got the better of my mate when he washed his front end out and binned his gixxer when I was unusually in front of him. Therefore I deduce I am as good as a 500cc world champion. That that yer cunts.

Nigel Kennedy played my sister-in-law down the isle at my brothers wedding; Kennedy is, or was, a personal friend of my brother. Now, I don't remember Kennedy playing at the wedding, because it was the day after I was wiped out by a Toyota Celica and my memory was non-existent for about 6 weeks after the event; but I have seen a video of the ceremony and I can confirm that he was there.
Kennedy also played at a Millennium Eve party that I attended. There were DJs of all genres playing that night and he got up on stage and jammed with a Techno DJ friend of mine... it was quite something to witness.

I don't know anyone who is particularly famous but once owned a Toyota Celica 😁 |

My cousin Jackie Bell played for Newcastle United in the 60s as a wing half scoring 8 in 117 games and also England U19s, so a bit famous back in the day.

My cousin was the drummer in The Almighty. He's a tit.
His uncle (no direct relationship to me) was Alex McAvoy who played the teacher in The Wall.
I used to sit beside Gary McAllister in maths.
At a Queen gig in 1982, I was at the front and high-fived the singer. He later died of AIDS.

Me and the missus went to the NW200 in 2000 and frequented Joey's bar in Ballymoney every evening and got well in a few locals. Come Saturday post racing we all got a lock in and Joey joined us and got pished at our table.
He wasn't so quiet with a drink in him.

Nobody.
I was walking down the beach promenade a few years ago and a smartly dressed young man walked the other way, followed by a young lass running after him with a pen and some magazine or paper for an autograph. I didnt recognize him, 5'10ish, good looking, skinnyish, thought it might be some Pop Idol winner sort of person.
When I got home I was still wondering who it was and remembered AFC Bournemouth had been promoted to the Premier League just paid a fortune for a new central defender. It couldnt have been him surely, not big enough for that. It was, Nathan Ake. Appearances can deceive. When Bournemouth were demoted he fucked off to Man City. No nice beaches up there Nathan.

My best man and I went very different directions. He is in the music video production world. It was him that got Jay K smashed enough to get pinched in London all those years ago. And he is a good friend of Roisin Murphy, her of off Moloko fame.

I met Florentino Perez (president of Real Madrid and the moron who tried to set up the superleague) a few weeks ago. He asked me if I wanted his autograph. I said no thanks, you're alright. One of the two guys with him said "Florentino, this guy is an Atletico supporter" to which I replied "damn, is it that obvious!".
And that was my only brush with a famous twat that I can remember...
Oh and when I stayed in a hotel near to Sepang in 2015, John McPhee was there poolside while my kids were playing in the pool. I didn't speak to him though, seemed rude to interupt.

Was a classmate of the bloke who founded Ryanair, not the twat who runs it now, he was in the year below me.
One of the first proper road races I went to was Athea near Limerick, I was helping out a mate racing an RS125. After the meeting we were having the chats and Robert Dunlop walks up holding a plastic bag & hands out cans to everyone. I got well tongue tied cos he was racing royalty. Mate was slagging him for not letting son Michael win his first race (he pipped him on last lap). Later after mucho drink I saw Roberts van leave the paddock for the long trip north. He was sleeping in the passenger seat, son Michael was driving. Michael I think was 14 then.
My ex used to run a recording studio & rehersal space in Dublin.
one freezing day I was fixing the heating system. The Corrs & Waterboys were there rehersing in different rooms. After getting it running Andrea Corr insisted on going out & buying me a coffee & muffin. Not only was she an utter babe, she's actually a genuinely lovely person. Most famous people tend to be twats. Same place about 6 months later at a launch party for summat I was introduced to Gerry Hall, think she was 56 then. She'd still get game.
My housemate when I lived in Galway was a mate of Kate O'Toole (Peters daughter), she invited me up to a party in Clifden that Kate was having. I declined, mainly because I didnt particularly get on with Kate. Connie turned up very worse for wear late on the Sunday, She'd spent the weekend on the absolute lash with Peter O'Toole, Angelica Huston & Bill Murray plus his brothers. Apparently Bill Murray & clan are all incredible musicians & singers. Deffo one that got away.
Mate when I was 18 was from a big naval family going back generations. It was assumed he's do officer training after his A levels, he actually wanted to go to college & do pharmacy. That went down like a wet turd on the Axminster. Compromise to stop his commander father killing him was to do 3 months basic training at Dertmouth then decide wether to take up a full comission. So off he went, his group of fellow trainees included a Royal paedophile who apparently doesnt sweat. Its probably no surprise to anyone the that Andrew Windsor has always been a complete and utter knob head.
Classmate at college was having his 18th in a pub in Farringdon. I got sent over by him to talk to his landlord who was sitting alone at the bar looking miserable, cos I was old like him (I was 25) and we would have stuff in common. up close I realised that his landlord was Howard DeVoto (Buzzcocks & Magazine) still two of my all time favourite bands.

You need to go back in time like a terminator and stop the royal paedophile.

I think Armstro Ngracer wins the i know famous cunts top trumps thread hands down. That was impressive. Not by coolness on my behalf, more by osmosis. My ex worked in film & music industry & truth be told, a bit of a star shagger before me & kids turned up. I was generally only invited as a responsible adult to carry her drunk ass home. The sensible boring git in the room. |
