Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

Someone told me that the other day, I was walking about with friends and they pointed out his house or somehting, I dunno. I have no idea who he is, is that really ignorant of me?

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

No I don't think that's ignorant and I know you are only a teenager, but how can you not have heard of him? He was/is a Rangers legend. Maybe you can ask your Dad, I am sure he would be able to to enlighten you no matter what team, if any he supports.

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

I can't really ask my Dad, but even if I could, he's not really a football person, he's more into rugby I think.

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

Nevermind, you're not missing out on anything by not knowing who he is ;-)

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

Didn't really think so, lol.

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

crazy, I was told he went to my old school, which was Haydon in Pinner...is it the same as yours?

...Ooooh, scratch that! we have one more- little bit of stretch, but hey- The Eavis family dentist is here. that should cement me a biccy!

Ahh, Frome, it's a shithole, but ther've been some fucking hilarious goings on there - i could swear Royston Vasey was based on it...

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

You could have shot monty pythons (infamous hybrids between deadly snakes and former General B.L Montgomery of Alamein) at him instead. That would have been more fun.

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

Re: Famous People From Where You Live...

From my home town (Otley W.Yorks) cometh Thomas Chippendale. Or, as we like to call him, 'The Wood Botherer'. There's a statue of him in the manor square holding some intricately carved wood. He's part of the furniture up here :-| I never met him, probably because he moved to London in 1734 to join the cabinet :-\
