Using my old mate The Reverend Bruce again, I can also do Napoleon (yes, that French chap) in five steps. The story I had been told was that Bruce, a long time ago had known a french lady in her eighties, who when she was a girl had read to Napoleon's grand niece, who knew Napoleon. I've checked the details, and it doesn't quite pan out as simply as that, but here's the me to Napoleon one... 1. I know Bruce 2. A long time ago, Bruce knew a French lady who was then in her eighties 3. Who, when she was a girl, had read to Napoleon's niece, Mathilde Bonaparte, who was then an elderly lady living in Paris 4. Mathilde is unlikely to have known Napoleon, as she was born only a year before he died. But it is reasonable to suggest that she knew her own father 5. ...who was Napoleon's younger brother Me to Napoleon in five... that's not bad going for someone who died over 150 years before I was born!

Another PS – on discussing this topic with hubbie last night, he says that an old friend of his was taught by Sting, when Sting was a teacher in the North East. I know the link is tenuous, but it’s there!

PS I forgot, when he lived in Gosforth, his neighbour was Jimmy Nail (that was during the Auf Weidershen, Pet years).

If it’s any help, you sort-of know me, and my husband was in Alan Shearer’s class at school! And my hubbie’s also met Ant and Dec in Northumberland Street – three birds with one stone (if you class me as the stone…)

I’m reasonably good friends with one of Beth Orton’s brothers.
My gf used to work for Roger Moore’s son; she also knows some bloke out of Cornershop.
I used to live next door to Melanie Hill from Big Brother One.
My flatmate interviewed Ken Livingstone last week.

…all pretty tame and off the top of my head, but there may be more. Let me know if they get you anywhere interesting.
