Degrees of Separation

[Pseudo]

I knew my grandfather.
He was friends with Kirk Pengilly's parents.
They knew Kirk (obviously)
Kirk was in INXS with Michael Hutchence.

Does this qualify me to shag Kylie Minogue, then accidentally kill myself while performing autoerotic asphyxiation?

Rog, sorry mate, this is six degrees, you need to go back further - maybe you could go back from Charles Bannerman to Tom Wills to Dick-A-Dick and then one of his relatives - you could then be one of the original Australians.

Fair point. 6 Steps then

1. I interviewed Harold Larwood just before he died.
2. Harold Larwood was selected in the 32 Ashes side by Lord Harris.
3. Lord Harris was the Lord in waiting from 1895-1000 after he was governor of India, succeeding the Lord Hawkesbury, first Earl of Liverpool.
4. Lord Hawkesbury was the nephew of Robert Jenkinson, UK Prime Minister from 1812-1827
5. Robert Jenkinson led the British forces in the 1812-1815 English War against the US
6. By rights, I should be head of the US and, in effect, the free world.

Either through Hitler earlier, or this way, I should be running most of the world.

It probably qualifies you to raise Tiger Lily in a more stable environment than the one she's currently in.

Always seems to come back to that for you doesn't it Dr Evil?

Well, I'd seem a bit sad if every option I came up with eventually saw me porking a Miss Universe winner!!!!! I thought I would go the power-crazed route, rather than the sex maniac lost in history.

I was playing Eucre on Yahoo Games.As you play with and against people from all over the world its just random who forms a table with you.You generally say hello to your partner and say where you live .Thought it was amazing that she was in Adelaide also and has an unusual surname(Dutch origins).After a couple of games my pager goes off(I was on call ) and the message says ring Bert ******* and the number for a leaking pipe in a multi-storey building on North Tce and bugger me its the same surname . I apologize for having to leave a game half way through and ask does she know the Bert ******** I had to ring....You guessed it her old man who lives under the same roof and she heard him phone the pager company...unreal

footnote: Been an item for 4 months now(no not with the old man with the daughter) mind boggling co-incidence!

That's a definite classic. Until now, the best way I had discovered to meet the opposite sex was to adopt a labrador puppy on a weekend and take it for a walk on the beach. Any single lads out there - if euchre on yahoo games doesn't work out, try the puppy routine!

I had dinner with Greta Scacchi a couple of years back. Does that count?
Unfortunately my wife was there as well She is an old friend of Gretas from Perth days.

Credit to you there LL - Greta is a siren.

I thought this was a serious topic.My mate is very good friends with Tim Neilsen,which puts me three degrees away from Michael Clarke,and four from Lara Bingle.
