I know a guy who knows the guy who made Lemmings!

I've just come back from the first evening of the Alpha Course and it was brilliant with an awesome guest speaker, (Gram Seed) but one of the guys I spent most of the evening talking to knows Mike Dailly, the guy who made Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto! So now my fame to claim is "I know a guy who knows the guy who made Lemmings!"

Not quite as impressive as my parent's fame to claim though: My Dad worked on a film with Keira Knightley and my Mum was a private student of one of J. R. R Tolkien's students.

So who else has a mad claim to fame?

My dad was in the new-wave psychedelic 80's band Doctor and the Medics. He was the guitarist and the singer is my godfather, I think.

I know hip-hop artist Lady Sovereign (I have her on facebook, I kind of forced her to add me because I really fancy her) as well as the drummer from the same group, I've met Badly Drawn Boy numerous times and I went on tour with contemporary jazz band 'The Cinematic Orchestra' for two weeks. My dad works with a lot of bands, so I've got too many claims to fame - but not as cool as knowing a guy who knows one of the software engineers for Lemmings

Hmm...

My uncle tested google back when it was under development

I know the guy that invented the wheel. And the female breast.

I'll I've gotten to do is go to boring Press Conferences (I live in DC) and met some people like John Karry and Condoleezza Rice. (Most of them want me to ask smart questions, so I ask my friend who actually watches the news to give me some  )

I actually have coming up this weekend  :-/

I don't know anybody really famous... I've met Jaqueline Wilson twice and recived two letters from her. (Jaqueline Wilson is a children's author)
