    My Cousin is Carl Lewis (can prove as my brother posts here, and he knows him) but I don't write that I'm actually related to (The Sprinter) Carl Lewis! Perhaps I should then I could be a comedy writer too!

    My cousin's long-term girlfriend is the sister of the gravelly voiced lead singer in my third favourite band, Gomez. Oh yeah! I'm hoping they get married and Gomez do the wedding disco. Free gig!

    Got the same great great grandmother as Nigel Kennedy, I'm related by marriage to Brian Kinsey. One nephew played for Man City Kevin Horlock and another a few games for Pompey reserves under Alan Ball. My grandad won medals for speed skating on roller skates! My uncle organised Keith Peacock's testimonial and was on the CAFC board in the 60's.
  • I think the word famous is open to discussion.
    ...and relative ;-)

    Thanks but I doubt it is the same recipe these days. Was probably traditional lemonade ( lemons sugar etc). Oh and all the money has gone!!!!!! Doh.
