Tim Burton thingy and Helena Bonham Carter own a house not too many miles away from where I work and I often see (stalk) HBC in the local Waitrose
OMG! You must work around the corner from my flat, Rexi! 
And I nearly ran over HBC with my trolley in that very same Waitrose 
Haha - how on earth did you manage that? She's a bit hard to miss 
And ... your hanging baskets need watering
And now you've told everyone

she got paid about 3 grand for the gig at the dome and gave me ÂĢ20 to say thanks-i was robbed
and i got in a lift in a hotel with the bloke from emmerdale who had an affair with kim tate, he died in a fire-cant remember his name
anyway-he gets in with 3 blonde bimbo's-stood on my foot, he burst out laughing, the girls giggled and i gave them the most evil stare ever
they all went quiet, faced the lift door and sloped out
trouble was-i was going to the same party
he nearly crapped himself when he saw me again lol

As a teeny, I met Crick and Watson (Nobel prize winners) who discovered the structure of DNA. My best friend over the road's Dad went on to become one of the rare double Nobel prize winners too. There were one or two or others along the road (some of whom were my Dad's students) who achieved the same prize. 
I also gave Richard Branson the finger when I worked for him!

Blimey that's some CV.
My Mothers sister is married to the great great grandson of Scott of the Antarctic... true
I have quite a few but probably the most tenuous (sp) is that my aunt was Majorie Proops housekeeper when I was growing up.
Best thing about that was that they lived next door to Catweazle.
Made me dead cool in the late 60's let me tell all you young whippersnappers who have to google to know who either of them are

A parting is never a good thing I'm afraid. I sure you would have hoped to weave things back together. Never mind, It was probably a close shave in the end.
