Shaken hands with Roger Daltrey who has shaken hands with the Queen who shook hands with Winston Churchill who shook hands with Joe Stalin who shook hands with Adolf Hitler.
Me uncle directed and produced a documentary about Churchill's bodygaurd, so probably met some of his family who me uncle would've shook hands with, and they may have shook hands with the bodygaurd (Walter Thompson), who most definitely did shake the hand of the great man himself.......
He also made a documentry about Wallis Simpson and her relationship with King Edward VIII (Great Romances Of The 20th Century) and so probably shook hands with the Queen using the same logic.....?
An old work colleague and now big mate of mine is 3 handshakes away from Jimi Hendrix. I can't remember the jumps exactly but Chas Chandler is involved. My mate is very proud of this and wears it like a badge of honour lol
'Ang on, that makes me 4 handshakes away from Hendrix myself! ;P
I shook hands with Alan Pardew. Who then insulted my outfit.
This has to be the most heart wrenching imo. Not only do you have the burden of shame for the rest of your natural that you actually shook his hand.....but he then mercilously kicked you when you were down like a mangy dog!
It's a long road back from that, a long road back...
I delivered parcels to Leith hill place, whilst there needed to use the W.C., leith hill place was once owned by Josiah Wedgwood, who in turn was the father in law of Charles Darwin. So I could have actually sat on the same throne as CD!
I have shaken hands with Tom King (very firm!) and Sir George Younger (very limp) who have both shaken hands with Margaret Thatcher and thereafter the world
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
Emily Pankhurst...my maternal great-grandmother was a suffragette and got into all sorts of trouble and was acquainted with the Pankhurst sisters amongst others.
Of the others...I can do Joe Stalin as well...he shook hands with Winston Churchill and I have shaken hands with his grandson, Winston Churchill - who used to live in Westerham.
In 1963 I worked with one of the nicest people you could meet...diplomatic, kind and thoughtful. Coming out of the Black Cat one Saturday night I could not believe what I saw. My workmate was standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr.Mosley. I said nothing at work, but news got around and he was sacked because of his politics, another employee in her 50's was also sacked for sticking up for him. The guy that replaced him was an arsehole and hopeless at the job. Can you imagine taking that one to a tribunal.
ps. LATE ENTRY: I once blew a raspberry on Nathans stomach...do I win?
Shook hands with Graham bond When his group(Graham Bond organisation) were playing at the black cat club in Woolwich Bond was the illigitimate son of Alister Crowley.
I am amazed that nobody has mentioned the late great Colin Cameron because if you had the pleasure of shakeing Colins hand you would be linked with great players poor players great/poor managers legends heroes and also some villans
