....who danced with the Prince of Wales"

Can anyone beat Dadaist when he claimed in the "Bowling what is it good for thread" that - "Also, a close family member by marriage is Richard Corsie's cousin"

I worked with someone who crashed their car into Ronnie Corbett's garden wall.

I know - there is definitely a likeness.

I have just got off the phone to my mother. She has confirmed my claim - he is my mother's cousin's husband's cousin. So we're pretty close, really. Although we've never been invited to Crinkly Bottom.

My uncle taught Penny Mallory how to rally drive. First woman in the world to get licensed.

Also my dad's mate's brother went to school with Roy Wood from Wizard.

are they sufficently random.

They are random enough and licensing women sounds like a reasonable proposition. They are running amok at the moment and need to be regulated.

My aunt went out with Burt Bacharach and claimed, in The News OF The World, to be the first woman in Britain on the pill! (Much to the disgust of my authoritarian Grandmother!)
