I am living in a small town called Hampstead...I've heard of Hatch End, but not sure how close it is to me. Love living here...my next door neighbor is Boy George...it's funny seeing out of his makeup early in the morning!~!!

Boy George eh? Now that's a fancy neighbour to have...anyone else live next door or nearby anyone famous, or have done in their past? Not me I'm afraid....right boring I am.

Mmmmmn I have never lived near anyone famous, but saw Dame Judy Dench in Southwold a couple of years ago when she was filming for that film on Alzheimers....will a name drop do???

Or to really show-off.....I have been on the radio three times and on the television once....

Oops I think I'd better go now before fame goes to my head....

Ooooooooooooooo, claim to fame, Who is the guy from the rolling stones who married a right young chicky? Bill Wyman could it be? I was in Bury St. Edmunds when they got married at the registry office....not that I knew at the time of course. And....Prince Phillip got bumped up the bum in Brandon at the traffic lights, and although I lived in Feltwell at the time, it was still big news. And...hehehehe....both my kids have been on the telly, one for a game show for kids, J did a karate sesion and another time him and Hannah were interviewed out in AZ while at a theme park and got to say what their favourite rides were. Oh yes, lets not forget, a few weeks ago I went to the taping of the Thanksgiving special that is to be aired on the food network in November and that was Emerill doing his thing. Very good it was too. Ok, I'll stop now.

Was on BBC Children in Need many moons ago playing in a clarinet quartet, we got on the radio and the TV.

Mum used to be friends with Rick Wakeman when she was growing up, clutching at straws now

Ah Wisconsin. That is one place I find hard to pronounce for some reason. It comes out as wicks cousin. No idea why! If I ever went there I would have to write it down - "Take me to Wisconsin!" They'd think I was a robber or or hijacker! I had best stay put then.....

No fame claims to fame - well I saw Alison Moyet in Basildon once. Oh and Normal Major (wife of ex Prime Minister) outside Peter Jones in Sloane Square. I also saw the Queen Mum somewhere - oh and Bryan Ferry (swoon!) at a ball, plus Naomi Campbell's mum at same place (she turns up at the opening of an envelope that one! Also the squeeky voice ex wife of Peter Davidson (He was in the vet series) Sandra Dickenson - that's it. SHe played Trillion in that space programe - (you are all now scratching your heads) - Restaurant at the end of the universe? What was it called? Had Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect in it.

Ok I will shut up now and lie down somewhere.

Ha HA - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! There, I have a brain cell left. Hey I may not be able to pronounce Wisconsin but I can remember this!

Peacock i remember that blonde bimbo now..Peter Davidson..is he in "at home with the Braithwaites"?? which is on at the moment and i must say that i'm enjoying immensely even tho' it is a little wacky

Can't think of anyone famous that i might know but while i was back in England i met one of the Rolling Stones guitarist and he gave me a 'pick' with the 40 Licks logo on..thought he was winding me up till someone showed me the pics of him with Mick and Keith wonder if i'll get owt for it on Ebay?

I lived in Hampstead while I was training to be a nurse. We used to star spot, generally seeking George Michael but more usually find ing Pierce Brosnan yum! Loved it there - you're lucky to live in such a handsome suburb, good pubs and food if I recall.....am going off in to Hampstead food fantasy now
