My mom's cousin went to high school with Robert James Ritchie (AKA Kid Rock)... she had the opportunity to go to an exclusive party at his house down in Romeo (I live in michigan too), she couldn't go though, because her cousin called about 3 hours before it started, and it takes like 3 and a half to get down there Anyways, her cousin and his wife said it was a pretty crazy party, they said that some of the playboy playmates were there, =x (btw, I don't give a damn if you think I am full of it)

My old man used to work for MTV Europe in Camden, London. When i was 15 he took me and my sister up there for the day to see filming of the Zig and Zag show The day we were there East 17 were promoting the steam album, and the popular (ahem) girl group Shampoo were there too. We met up with them all, had photos taken, even with zig and zag, w00t! I was in a scene of the show where zag was being a preacher in a church setup with gospel choir. I had to go up to the stand where he was and be blessed for all my sins. I messed it up 2 times because of laughing too much, but eventually got it right. Zag was saying "Matthew, i clense you of all your sins" etc! My dad played in a scene where he was refereing a match of chess between the puppets, played with fruit!! I still have signed albums of the bands, and the show on video somewhere.

I was Idlewild's Lighting Director for one gig - they told me to 'ease off the strobes' My dad discovered a new sub-species of termite - "Microtermes Logani" My uncle is Astonomer Royal for Scotland (John Brown). My great aunt (i think) played a main character in 'Carry On Camping' (Betty Marsden?) Oh, and I was once kissed by Craig Charles
once i saw a kid get ran over, so i ran to tell his mum..... then i read the paper the next day and it was on the front page i read the article, and it said "someone came and told me that my son was ran over" YES i was that someone !!! On the downside, the boy died.
Craig Charles off Red Dwarf and Robot Wars? He was done for rape of a 16yr old. Carbon - bloody hell, what a bring down to your whole post "Oh yea, on the downside he died, but i was in the paper after telling his mum about it!!"
You stand corrected He was arrested, and tried, but found not guilty. See paragraph titled "A kind of therapy"
I do indeed stand corrected He was found not guilty in the end then. I hadnt heard that much, all i remember is the inital arrect/accusation on the news.
