The only moderately famous schoolmates I have are both (now) freelance tech journos. One, Gordon Laing, used to be editor of Personal Computer World (personal page http://www.glnow.com) and the other (Laurence Grayson) seems to pop up frequently in ZDNet publications (http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2070948,00.html reveals the accurate statement "nobody does mournfully better than Laurence"). I have the satisfaction of knowing that the former is now raving bald and that I once stole the latter's girlfriend. Oh, yes, nearly forgot Ramon Tikaram (Tanita's brother) who's gone from "Cutthroat Island" to the series "This Life" and has now reached the dizzying heights of "Crossroads". He isn't a half bad musician, actually. He was a year or two above me at uni, so I'm not sure that he counts. My uncle was at Oxfnord with Alan Bennett and a few others whose names I forget. My wife tells me that someone she was at school with became one of the Teletubbies (well, they were from St Just, what can you expect) and another (who Rev Joe might know) is now a movie special-effects wizard called Bellamy (possibly "Pete", definitely not "David"). Rob and then there was the time i nearly knocked Harold Wilson under a train.... To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: forteana-unsubscribe@egroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
