Anyone friends with somebody really famous?

[Spinal]

Yes why not.

• Sir Dawda Jawara (ex president of The Gambia - met more times than I can count)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawara)
• Yahya Jammeh (President of The Gambia - met more times than I can count) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahya_Jammeh)
• George W Bush (before he was famous... in 1990 if I remember well... he spent his time in a hotel my mother managed. Had dinner & lunch with him)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush)
• Giovanni Paolo II (Known as Voitilla, no clue how that's spelt. Attended a reception for him and was on the runway with other people waiting for him when his flight landed. Quite a funny story this one actually..) (the ex pope) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Paolo_II)
• An uncle in my mothers side of the family was the author of Sandokan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilio_Salgari)
• My grandmother ran for Italy at the Olymics ('48-'60 if I remember well. Can ask her... she has a few medals too...)
• A fairly long list of current and past ambassadors, high commissioners et al... (both parents are diplomats)
• GF plays soccer for Lazio & Italy womens team.. so technically the entire Italian womens soccer team I wouldn't say we're friends, but I've sat on the sidelines almost every time I go watch her play and go to dinners and parties with her, so I do know the others on a first name basis...

uhmm.. I'm sure I can come up with more digging into my past...

But does oneself count? As in, can I be friends with myself? I so, then myself

How can he have a house on the road opposite and be a next door neighbour at the same time?

The former toy boy of the wife of the First Minister of Northern Ireland (Peter Robinson) is a friend of one of my daughters, and has been in my house. But that's infamy...so does it count.

I know Jay Sean too he used to live opposite him when we were young, then my Uncle bought his house.

The Queen is my next town neighbour. Well, when I say next town, I mean 100 miles away, but that's not so far in the context of things. I'm sure she's even waved to me a few times. We haven't spoken much, but she's kind of busy and I don't want to bug her. But when we meet for tea one day I'm sure we'll catch up on old times. I really can't wait.

Does that count?

Iv met Joe Bugner , & had a long chat with Fred Dibnah, he was a really nice guy, just the same as when he was on the telly.
