I called Chris Turner a foul word and he heard me.

I also conversed with Bojan Djordjic, once of Manchester United.

Packie Bonner is my uncle's cousin. In school, this variously spread amongst my peers as "Packie Bonner is his uncle" or "Packie Bonner is his cousin". I was happy enough to let this go uncorrected.

One of my cousins was an Irish Olympian in Beijing. He did alright.

I can hold my breath for four minutes, by which time a cold sensation in my extremities makes me wonder what on earth I am doing with my life.

When I was a wee lad, I had a meal in a restaurant a few tables away from Bryan Robson. I got his autograph, but only after the waitress asked him on my behalf as I was too shy myself.

I was once on the same flight from Munich to Dublin as Chris de Burgh and Rosana Davison. I managed to capture a poor quality snap on my phone's shoddy camera (calling it a camera phone would have been exceedingly generous) through the gap in the seats. Only of Chris de Burgh, mind.

When I was 18, a very adamant gay man with a wife and two kids once told me that I should enter Mr. Gay UK as I would be a certain winner. I have yet to enter, but fear time may be against me if I leave it any longer.

I saw a Trapattoni look-alike in Mulligan's pub in Manchester a few months ago during our home game against Macedonia. My brother asked him for a photo and we all had a laugh about it before ordering another pint and talking about something else.

Mick Hucknall has been known to fish in the same county in which I was born.

I woke up in the middle of a dream the other night wondering if it would be boastful to mention my 2 BAFTA and 1 IFTA nominations here... It obviously says much for my modesty that I would be content to dream of an IFTA nomination rather than a Palme d'Or win!

Mrs Grise's cousin, however, really was a BAFTA nominee. Reflected glory just isn't the same though.
