2. Aaron Ramsey (Welsh Captain and Arsenal Midfield) went to my school.. I was in year 7 at the time.. if only I knew.. :-(

3. The Funeral Directors on Stella is outside my house, and Ruth Jones was on our portch talking to us.. will be seeing her when they film the next season :biggrin:

I pushed Zooey Deschannel's mum's car to get it going when she couldn't get it started. Zooey Deschannel was there as well.

My best friend's cousin is friends with Hugh Laurie's son and she's been skiing with him. I was very jealous of that!

I don't really have anything to attribute my name to, but my Dad is very involved in the International music scene so I've met and dined with a lot of big people through that including Darrin Mooney from Primal Scream, Rick Drumm (ironically an excellent Jazz drummer) from D'Addario & Company, Frank Catalano (most feminine voice ever award goes to this guy) and the founder of Sax.co.uk (biggest UK sax retailer) used to be in my Dad's band.

When I was six my auntie took me to Venice on the Orient Express. The only other child on board was Francis Ford Coppola's (director of The Godfather) grand-daughter who was travelling with her grandfater. He wanted to work in his cabin so sent the steward to find a child for her to play with. I was that child. On the same trip I was also mistaken by an American woman for Princess Beatrice (WTF??)

My dad's been on the news and in the papers a few times. He's met Prince Charles through his work.

My brother went to the same school as Geoff Hoon, Ken Clarke and Ed Balls. Oh and also D.H. Lawrence.
