It never happened and the lad died.<br /><br />In my view, fame is massively over-rated. What I admire is men and women who have grafted away for their families for years - ordinary people who never gain any public recognition. They are the ones who matter - not frivolous pop stars, models and sporting figures. The ambition to become famous is both shallow and sad.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-29628313680541584102009-06-22T18:55:11.439+01:002009-06-22T18:55:11.439+01:00No fame whatsoever Ken and I prefer to keep it tha...No fame whatsoever Ken and I prefer to keep it that way. <br /><br />However, back in the early 60's I worked in a restaurant in Weymouth which was used by the film stars and crew who were filming "Far from the Madding Crowd" in the area. I was lucky enough to serve dinner to Alan Bates and Peter Finch (separate occasions)and also saw director John Schlesinger. On another occasion I was thrilled to see Kirk Douglas, who came in for a meal.Strawberry Jam Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695110960213262472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-62134566639954977322009-06-22T14:30:54.746+01:002009-06-22T14:30:54.746+01:00I once shook my fist and hurled abuse at a large r...I once shook my fist and hurled abuse at a large rangerover who swung around the corner into a side street in Norfolk, nearly knocking my small son over.<br /><br />I wonder how many other people could say they'd shouted, "F*** off you b******" at Diana, Princess of Wales.<br /><br />GGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-85369101695526878462009-06-21T22:25:24.870+01:002009-06-21T22:25:24.870+01:00Nice blog-I think fame is relative and worthless w...Nice blog-I think fame is relative and worthless without money attached-:)<br /><br />I'm famous for my choclate cookies.<br /><br />Cheers!Nancy J.
