Here's a tenuous link. I'm related to a knight who fought in the Crusades.
No desire at all to pee on your chips, but aren’t most of us? I seem to recall that some 98% of the Western European population (at least the white population) can trace back to Charlemagne himself. psi310398 said:
But I guess a direct, ie unbroken, male descent could be trickier to establish and statistically at lot more interesting.
Yes, there was a clear male line up to my great grandfather.Doofus said:
Is he famous though?
Famous? Probably not in modern terms although the records that were found would suggest he was a noble. Not an A-List royal but probably a C-List Country Squire.My mum's cousin's daughter's partner/boyfriend is the son of a fairly well known actress from the 1970s, his step father has been in several Marvel films, and he is a theatrical agent for, among others, Jack Whitehall. When they visited for my mum's 90th birthday he brought a magnum of champagne that Jack had given him.

Friend of mine is close friends with Jools Holland and a bunch of other music celebs. Got us tickets and a backstage pass to one of the gigs where we got to hang out with Jools and the band and drink their rider. 'Twas a good night! ![beer](/inc/images/beer.gif)
I read that as 'and drank their cider' but I may have been right I suppose. ![beer](/inc/images/beer.gif)

My sister's friend's mum was the daughter of a high ranking SS officer. She ate strawberries with a certain A. Hitler on her 6th birthday.
That offends me. My grandfather died in the war. He fell out of the watchtower.

We were having a conversation at work about who’s met famous people, there were a couple of good ones mainly around ex footballers and one of the women in the office used to sell Betty off Coronation Street nail varnish every Saturday in a shop in Altrincham.
My having a piss next to Bryan Robson was trumped by a colleague who unblocked Shaun Ryder’s drains once when they were blocked.
