    Doesn't have to be a Hollywood celeb, I put 'famous' in title to preclude 'A man with clean fingernails and underwear' or 'A woman who speaks only when spoken to' and other comments of the sort as replies. I'd like to buzz off Derren Brown (pick up a few tricks), David Norris (the man is hilarious, razor sharp, I could learn a lot) and Nelson Mandela (parents met him and both said they'd never experienced such calm). Living or dead, who would it be?

    You'll probably want to do a Google (image) trip when I tell you that she got her baps out a lot and did saucy stuff with girls... If you like that sort of thing of course.

    Well seeing as I met Dan Shanahan only a few weeks back the next on my list would probably be Matt Le Tissier, because he is my favourite footballer. That good enough reason?

    Ah yes, I remember how he used to torment Newcastle (who I supported) back in the day. Great player...never reached his potential though.

    Potential is such an ugly word. Fact is that he is adored by everybody in Southampton and will be forever more, his loyalty was a breath of fresh air in a game being ripped apart by money.
