Sinister: Most Famous Person
This is a subject close to my heart. The novel that I'm planning to write (don't get too excited - it's been at the planning stage since 1992) kind of revolves around the most famous person thing: but in terms of empathy rather than just pure fame. Whose death (apart from Di, obviously) would cause such an outpouring of grief around the world that it would be possible to shift hangarloads of vaguely related merchandise in minutes? The usual suspects (Jacko, Madonna, etc) don't convince me: I just don't believe enough people love them. I think I have the answer, but any suggestions would be gratefully received. Old Bands: have Jesse Garon and the Desperados been mentioned yet? For about six months in the mid-eighties they were the loveliest thing on the planet.

The Queen Mum, Godblessur. She's 99 you know, and survived the blitz. Imagine what would happen if she died during the World Cup. Second half of the final, Scotland v England (I know, I know, but let me have a little dream), five minutes to the end, scores equal, Scotland get awarded a penaly kick and... Buckingham Palace have announce the death of HRH Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. It's going to happen, believe me. Rod.
