The_Munchmaster Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 In the early 80's I was the Edinburgh Fly Dressers Guild champion fly dresser two years running! I couldn't go anywhere without being hounded by the paparazzi. And that's the real reason I became an expat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorinthian Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 My brother's cousin is the Queen of England. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 The Queen is also a distant cousin of George Washington. The farther back one goes in history, the fewer people there were to be descended from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 If famity, or infamity is based on column inches printed in the tabloids I am probably the most famous person in my family. Three occasions that embarrassed the family stick in my mind. June 1977 As a 13 year old I got most of the youth club wasted on Magic Mushrooms, 17 people had to have a stomcache pump, intervied on Granada (local) TV August 1987 A Port Erin (Isle of Man) registered fishing boat mysteriously sank whilst being persued by the coastguards, 7 Tonnes of Cannabis was found upon the stricken vessel, customs and excise could not prove it was on the vessel before it sank, I was charged with Piracy the courts lost. 1988 Bad one I had a few chemicals, namely :- safrole: 3,4-methylenedioxyallylbenzene, 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-propene isosafrole: 3,4-methylenedioxypropenylbenzene, 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1-propene MDP-2-P: 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone, beta-nitroisosafrole: The Precursors for 3-4 Methelynedioxmethamphetamne, (madchester days), Manchester Evening News stated I had enough to produce 10 Million STG worth, I would have been lucky to get half a million, fortunatley I got bail.

FreeTime Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Genealogy is an interest of mine, have been working on my own off and on for decades. If you are lucky enough to have an uncommon surname, the internet can bring up some very ancient links. There is one internet site in particular that is used by researchers all over the world. It is run by the LDS(Latter Day Saints). I have nothing to do with this church, and want nothing to do with their organization, but they happen to have the largest database of genealogical records in the world, no matter what the religious background: http://www.familysearch.org They have a search engine on the above page. Simply enter your surname & select the country of interest. This is a historic records search, not for living individuals, for privacy reasons.

SiLeakHunt Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Claire Chenault (leader of the Flying Tigers) was a great-great uncle. Not sure if someone that distantly related counts but still pretty cool. Clare's a fucking girls name ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
