who was forced to use a different name by Equity because it was the same as a famous musician.

Barrie Whight. This amuses me no end. He is a cock and hates it.

is Tony Wilson. He doesn't get the reference because he's from Senegal.

that a speaker called Chris Packham was due to be appearing at an event we're doing!

I was saddened to hear it wasn't the Really Wild Show one, who was going to make the directors hold massive spiders or anything.

was/is called Mike Schumacher. So I assume Michael. That'd be pretty cool.

shares his name with an Australian opening batsman who used to play for Derbyshire (he may still do).

one that is pronounced the same but not spelt the same.

I lol at him.

will smith.

though he calls himself "Topher" and encourages others to do the same, so i'll assume from that he find it annoying.

was called Phil Collins

But he's fat and white and looks nothing like the singer. I remember going to town with him to order Pokemon Neon cards, and the lady behind the counter, after taking his details said 'Owww! I feel good! Erm, sorry...'

was called Karen Carpenter, which I thought was absolutely belting

:)

is called James Morrison - so either he's an appalling singer songwriter, or the lead singer of the doors, or some guy who plays for Middlesborough. He doesn't get as many lols out of it as you would expect though, which is why this post is so dull.

the x files (one episode where I was married to a guy with no skin or something).

I'm pretty sure its all been said on here previously.

you killed Saskia from Eastenders crap as my name is Steve Owen. Irritating.

while i share a name with the 'new' girl from JJ72. can she be classed as famous?

which is the same as the bloke who wrote Rumpole of the Bailey (and loads of other stuff). This is a good thing because it makes it virtually impossible for prospective employers to google my name to find out how unsuitable I am for employment.
