http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation

i love this theory and seem to remember it being tested on tv some time and it seemed to work ,

can't remember who did the programme though, any ideas :dunno:

the guardian used to do a " 6 steps to carlton palmer " competition in the saturday sport pages ( i won it a couple of times ;) )

ps is the last bit of information also a spurious claim to fame ? if it is then i've also won the guardian crossword comp. as well a couple of times ( in about 20 years of doing it and sending it off every week )

pps i don't read the guardian anymore, it's rubbish ; polly twaddle is an idiot

It does work! I too remember that programme and I too cannot remember who did it.

But I bet I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows the bloke that did it.

To be fair, I think I'm possibly one of the few women he hasn't shagged.

Me, too. Though I agree - we're probably in the minority. :yesyes:

The jacuzzi incident involved him telling the lifeguard (it was situated poolside in a health and fitness club) in full glorious technicolour all of the gory details of his 4 birds in 3 night trip to Magaluf. It was like I wasn't there. He didn't care if I would be offended, and I am easily offended, to be fair.

Too much information, and all that. :yawn::shutup:

Mind you... only 4 birds in 3 nights? :rolleyes: ... you should have just looked sympathetic and commisterated *loudly* with him about his declining success rate. :whistle:

(But then I'm a bitch... and would really have felt compelled to put him in his place.) :devil:

To be honest, I was trying to hard not to throw up. I could never see what women saw in him (not even the money), but the obvious lack of respect for women really pissed me off. If only I had a stronger constitution, eh?

My friend from school has a friend who has a friend whose mum played Grotbags in Emu's Windmill.

My auntie went to school with the French policeman from 'Allo 'Allo.

Gary Speed once held the door open for me at an off-licence in Newcastle.

Bombhead off of Hollyoaks trod on my foot at Leeds station.

My cousin was nearly the drummer for an Arctic Monkeys promo.

I once followed Irene from Home And Way around York city centre for 20 minutes for no good reason.

Met Elton John on Concorde on two seperate occasions, first time I asked him if he was getting a connection to Atlanta to which he said I have a private jet waiting for me. I responded that Virginia Beach is on the way..........nada.

Introduced to Frank Sinatra in Dominics restaurant in Rancho Mirage, he wore a black shiny bomber jacket with "Sinatra" emblazonned on the back, he stayed for quite a while propping up the bar; I found it curious that he should need to advertise. There's a corollary to that tale but I'll save it for another time as there's no telling what Daggers would do with that tasty morsel.

Met Bob Hope and President Gerald Ford at Republican party event.

I have a few more but I can see ya'll yawning.
