Who has done what, in your family?
Anyone got any relations that have been inventors, musicians, politicians, serial killers?

I'm sure my brother is Del-boy- he even looks like him and definitely acts like him.

My SIL is a psychic medium type.
Been on radio, TV and the likes.
I used to find something else to do when she visited cos she was so one track mind on it and you couldn't discuss anything else.
She always knew where I was hiding though.

One of my grandfathers fought on the Somme and Passchendaele... the other was an Irish terrorist/freedom fighter.
My father left Ireland and joined the RAF.. and then deserted.
My nephew died a drug addict after never doing anything with is life.
I became, about, the seventh consecutive generation, to serve in the military.
Nothing unusual really.

My mum and dad are really good people who have lived a very decent and productive life so far. Even given their normalness they're the most impressive people I know...better than my more famous relative Ned Kelly

Re: Who has done what, in your family?
My grandad was in the RN in WWI and RAF(or RAAFC, what ever it was then) in WWII. I think he flew mosquitos?
His final rank was Wing Commander
My mums' cousin was the conductor of the BBC Choral Master
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Woodgate
His son is apparently Woody Woodgate of Madness fame - however, take that with a pinch of salt - my mother has been known to elaborate greatly on certain 'facts' about the family
My brother had a short stint as a Director of the Beeb last year.
I once had an article printed in the Grimsby Telegraph. I am also a medical marvel, having been born 2 years after me ol' ma was sterilised.
