  • Ooh thanks McBobbin, thought I was going to have to go for my rather tenous connection to Thandie Newton (she was the year below me at university), but somewhere at my parents' house there's a photo of my Grandad shaking hands with the Pope (John Paul II). And I must've shaken Grandad's hand at some point
  • Have shaken hands with Princess Di and Kylie Minogue. Presumably both hands have been in some interesting places.
  • My wife was in the same class at uni as Darius Danesh. He seems like the sort of berk to shake classmates' hands. There's every chance that he's touched Mylene Klass' hand, as they were in the same pop factor year... tenuous but good enough for me.
  • I've shaken hands with Bill Clinton and Keith Peacock. Keith let me introduce Monica.........
  • After a long and varied career, my list includes the following : Paul Daniels, Mary Quant, John Motson, Robert Powell, David Jacobs, Richard Murray, Tommy Cooper, Bob Monkhouse, Chris Powell, Lynn Davies, Peter Reid, Juan Carlos before he became King of Spain, and the entire QPR team in 1947.
  • Met and shook hands with Rex Grignon, the head of animation at dreamworks, who has shaken the hands of Steven Spielburg, who has then shaken the hands of many hollywood greats.
  • Shaken hands with my father-in-law who has shaken hands with Bill Oddie

    No you do not. I shook hands with the then current President of the United States. No one tops that. Ever, not even the Queen.
  • Come on, somebody must have shaken hands with George Michael. Think!

    What do you mean "When he was straight"? As if he ever was! Why do think you had to chase him?
  • Gonna have to cut this short as I've got to get my bike on the 49 from Charing Cross.

    Valiant Phil comes a close second with Colonel G, BUT.... blood was on his hands where as it wasn't on Bill Clinton's.

    So,,,,,,,,, Curb_it wins the three months supply of Marmite, mainly for owning up to that one, and chasing George Michael round the Lyceum.

    You can pick your winnings up from Charlton Liberal club at 9am Sunday, when I've got band practise.

    I'll be the one with the horn.

    Well done.

    No!

    With Clinton you're also just a handshake away from Beavis and Butthead, not many people can say that.

  • Three months supply of Marmite? Give that woman a cigar!

    Are you the Queen in disguise? ;-)
  • Who's the winner, then.

    To make it a bit harder can anyone get to these people in six or less people?

    Adolph Hitler
    Joe Stalin
    Arthur Conan-Doyle
    Alister Crowley
    Charles Darwin
    Emily Pankhurst
    Marcus Garvey

  • I can do Stalin - who met Churchill - who met the Queen - who met my uncle.

    And by the same route Hitler - Chamberlin - Churchill - Queen - uncle
