    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I shook hands with Alan Pardew. Who then insulted my outfit.
    Also shaken Ban Ki Moon's hand which was more impressive.

    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

    Not sure Mosley ever met Hitler but pretty sure his wife's sister (Mitfords) did.

    Good one
