Who Do We Know Who's Famous?

Was in the same class at St Bede's as Monica Ali, famous for Brick Lane.

 

Her brother Robin is now a Professor at the London Eye Hospital, noted for being the pioneer of the world's first retinal correction surgery.

Robin is two years older than me and also attendee St Bede's.

 

Alf Hartigan and TheWanderer1958 will certainly remember these two.

 

A lady in Grendon St where I was born had two famous relatives. Her grandson is Nigel Short the chess grandmaster, and her nephew is Ricky Heppolete, the former Preston and Orient player.

In the same class as Adam Creme at school, cousin and mini me of :lol: Creme from 10cc.

PE teacher at college was Fran Cotton from the fat lads game.

I was told :lol: Creme went to my school

 

Before me, obviously

 

Simon Archer was in my class as was the brother of Martin Bramah

Was at school with Damon Gough, badly drawn boy, know Peter Kay quite well, but then everybody in Bolton says that, cousin who's an actress on TV occasionally , but closest to knowing somebody really famous was working with Johnny Marrs dad until he retired a few years ago.

Remember me and my mate bedding two girls from Chesterfield on holiday in Crete in 83, one of them said Iv'e just split up with Danny Wilson, my mate said who the fuck's he ?

me and Gumbo went to school with a bird that Bolton's best known wanderers supporting tattoo artist nobbed in a loo on Greece Uncovered that was broadcast on sky1 :D

 

"Classy bird, Dave" is one of my all time favourite lines on a TV programme

Who remembers that Nicola Holt from the first ever series of Big Brother, quite fit and proper mucky, she used to be a barmaid at the flag in Bromley Cross.

 

Anyway, I don't know her and never met her, but there's a woman at work keeps going on about being her 'best mate'. I don't think she knows that she's a porn star and escort these days. (not that there's owt wrong with that like)

 

She must do, surely, best mate and all?

You probably have met her mate without realising as she was also at St Bede's. She was in the class a year below you whilst her sister Karen was in the class a year above you i.e my year.
