I'm related to Liv Tyler and by being related to her, to Steve Tyler.

My Grandfathers Brother, on the run from the English because he was in the IRA fled to america where he had 3 children. One of them had 2 daughters, one of the daughters married a guy whose Uncle is Liv Tylers Stepdad.

I am also related to various famous IRA people from about 70 years ago.

Wouldn't it be cool if Sprocket was related to the Bishop of Cork(The greyhound from Glenroe)??

I once managed to coerce a duck that was owned by Mel Brooks into stealing some bread for me out of a Subway sandwich shop in Miami.

He was later arrested, roasted and eaten with orange sauce.

I have won the Epsom Derby 3 times and have been Champion Jockey in the UK on no less than 6 occasions!

Ghandee

Well, I once met Evander Hollyfield in a pub, I offered him a pint, but he said "its ok I've one ear!"

JCDUB

Hmmm, once I met a decidedly arrogant and decidedly unimpressive Henry Shefflin in a very famous establishment in Kilkenny.

He was acting like an arrogant juvenile secondary school jock trying to impress his friends by shouting for service at the bar and generally being rude.

So I told him I'd like a photo, got him to line up and pose with his friends, and then took out my cigarette box, held it up like a camera and clicked my lighter beside it for the flash.

It took him a while to realise what was going on, but when his friends and others pissed themselves laughing at him he eventually copped it and became suitably embarrassed. Not too bright is our Henry..

Hate to tell you - you aint related to the Tylers. Someone related to you is related by marriage in a far distant kind of way to someone who is in fact still not related as they are a step dad.

Try again.:)

I went on the London eye with two of the girls (Jessica and Michelle I think they were called) from Liberty X, back when they were famous.


Shame I was too young to realise how lucky I was Jesus, they were fit



I've played with a bloke called Sean Cannon, a member of the Dubliners, a few times. Being a huuuuuuge Dubliners fan, every one of those times was just amazing.
