I guess you have trouble understanding the concept of "fame".
Britney Spears hasn't done shit in terms of combat and winning Commonwealth awards, yet she is "famous". Your fellow is not.

| Dr. David Suzuki. A nice enough fellow but there was a slight air of arrogance about him that was offputting. |

Smeggin' hell--I imagine he'd be the same in real life as on the show, eh?
I've met quite a few but the only one who I'll post about is Bill Clinton, back when he was governor of Arkansas. Taller than you'd expect. |

There would seem to be a not insignificant amount of arrogance in proclaiming yourself the arbiter of deciding who is famous and who is not. Upham is well-known where I come from and now he is just a little bit more famous since you have been forced to find out about him. Consider yourself lucky. |

Nice collection although, for a second I thought you might be a stalker.
I've a good idea of your age too, especially as you mentioned Marilyn.

i would say most of the people on the above list are today, half dead.(we all know about rolf harris and his meth problem).
i expect marylin is still in some stupid bar in west london,talking crap today.
my home manor( london slang for "stomping ground" for people from manitoba or arizona ) is the manor of choice for appx 30 percent of the rich and famous in the world,i guess (their european base,anyhowz) from madonna to mick jagger...you cant even buy a newspaper on a sunday morning without tripping over one or two of the scum. |

heather locklear once made fun of me.
and, to beat out anybody else's, i met bob barker. that cannot be topped. |

The Trailer Park Boys. After talking with them for half an hour I asked their buddy what he was doing in town. Turned out to be the guitarist from Rush.
We all had a good laugh out of that. |
