Okay everyone, I've got a fascinating challenge/game for us: Let's try to name all the well-known individuals Hayley has run into so far. You'll get five points if they're spectacularly famous (everyone knows them), three points if they're reasonably recognisable celebs (most people have heard of them) and one point for notable locals (fun to meet but there's no need for an autograph) .
For example:
Queen Elizabeth II -- 5 points
Andrew Lloyd Webber -- 3 points
Parky -- 1 point
Obviously, the more high-ranking individuals you name the greater your chance of winning!
So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!

Des is worth one point, but three if he had kept Mel.  To make this more competitive I'll jump ahead with: President Bush ------- 5 points Dalai Lama ---------- 5 points Tony Blair ---------- 3 points Il Divo -------------- 3 points Natasha Bedingfield ---3 points Bryn Terfel ---------- 3 points -------------------------- My current score: 22 (see if anyone can beat that!) |

Hello Steve!  I think you mean Tony Blair. You're confusing him with an earlier Prime Minister, John Major, who isn't related to Dame Malvina as far as I know!  Gene, you'll go a long way with your sense of humour. Hopefully on a one-way trip to Jupiter!  Best Wishes, Richard |

Hi Richard,
Every time that I look at your avatar, the first thing that I notice is "Tinker Bell" (sorry Hayley). Do you know the lady and if so, has she ever seen this picture? If not, I'm sure that she would enjoy it immensely!
Best, Gene

Hello Gene! I've no idea who the lady in the background is. The photograph was taken at Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre in July 2005, so she could be one of the helpers there. We'll probably never know whether she's seen it or not. Here's another low-scoring celebrity that Hayley's met - Frank Skinner! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBest Wishes, Richard |
