Paid Members JNLister Posted March 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 It may be my schools were just weirdly blessed, but I have a theory that the sheer number of kids at a school means you'll get someone with a famous name. Let's test that theory. Â My infant school had a kid called Omar Sharif. He wasn't an actor who was good at bridge. He pooed his pants. Â My junior school had a kid called Robert Williams. When we played crab football we chanted "there's only one Robbie Williams." We were wrong. Â My secondary school had a kid called Nigel Kennedy. He couldn't play violin. He got paid for work experience because he did it at his Saturday market job, Â My secondary school had a kid called Sam Tyler. He wasn't a time travelling policeman. He had an imaginary alter-ego called Julian which, in hindsight, sounds kinda gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2014 Some poor fucker at my school, in the eighties, was called Timmy Mallett. Ironically, this gave him the sort of school life that'd probably make him want to hit a lot of kids in the head with a claw-hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 Being called Timmy Mallet means he probably would have taken the abuse into adulthood. You aren't escaping that in a hurry. I'd have changed my name. I haven't got the spine to carry that name around for my whole life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted March 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 We had Cameron Diaz, but that Cameron was male and probably looks like Danny Trejo now. Mark Hughes another, but he was - and still is, I'd imagine - as gay as Christmas, and nor could he play football much to all our disappointment when we first met him. Kevin Smith, but that's a very common name. I reckon there could be one of them in every walk of life. Robert Lowe, who funnily enough, was also a sexual deviant.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted March 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 I had a Sean Connery in my class for a few months. Ribbing he took was unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2014 We had "Get Down" James Brown, and Jon Tickle. James Brown was tormented to the brink of tears several times with general James Brownstuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 We had a chubby Michael Jackson at Primary School. His life changed in 1993 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 16, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 My dad had a Dave Lee Travis in his class, a Robert Lindsay in his year and a Ben Kingsley in his school. But, to be fair, those were the actual famous people. Â We had an art teacher called John Innes. Knowing little of agriculture, we mainly concentrated on calling him Mr Anus.

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted March 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 We had a David Cameron. He didn't grow up to be Prime Minister, though. Â John Collins was another and, despite being around the same time as the Scottish international, somehow didn't get any shit. I think we were too busy throwing the new kid from down south's bag on the roof. Â Our school was a bit crap, really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 We had a chubby Michael Jackson at Primary School. His life changed in 1993 too. I was just going to mention there was a kid named Michael Jackson at my school too. There was a kid called Chris Brown too, but I don't believe he went on to smack about Rihanna.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted March 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 17, 2014 I was in a class with a Michael Jackson and a Tom Jones. I guess also myself to a certain extent (Mr Bean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted March 17, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2014 I went to college with James Dean. How do you name a child that when you must be completely aware of what he has to go through every day. Â He ended up going into acting. Determinism in action~!
