I am not sure if these sorts of posts work nowadays, but I would like people to tell me about their tenuous connections to fame. Not actual connections, it's important that there is no direct contact between you and a celebrity.

Examples I invite people to retell:

* your piano tuner is the nephew of someone literary
* your mum's friend went out with a musician before they were famous
* your next door neighbour once almost bought a house that later an actor moved in to

No link too tenuous!

He's a wanker so I don't talk about him, and also he's a wanker so when he brings it up I don't talk to him and turn the conversation away.

I think it might not be very tenuous if you think of him as my uncle, but I very much don't.
