Thread: Most famous person from whom you've received an e mail

Just one nomination per person . The winner (title awarded by popular acclaim), will have to prove it by reposting the e mail

It doesn't matter if its some freaky, stalkerish correspondence, leading, say, to Britney Spears writing. "Sod off Marmers, I am not sending you my soiled, skid-marked knickers".


I'll set the ball rolling with my nomination,..... George Layton from 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum'.

^some Nigerian Prince(ss) Cannot remember the name, but they wanted to give me shit loads of money in return for giving them my bank account details

Charles Soludo I'm guessing, he emails me all the time.
Oh wait, he's president of the bank if Nigeria, they have a trunk of money there for me.

Bugger - the pope doesn't use e-mail, otherwise I would have won!

Which one was he?

I can remember Mr Lah-Dee-Dah Gunner Graham, the Scottish one, Sergeant Major, Lovely Boy, and the dumpy one in the pith helmet, and the gay one that wore make-up.

I am assuming he wasn't the char wallah

He was Bombardier Solly Solomons.
He was actually more famous in the seventies sitcom Doctor in the House.

Doesn't ring a bell but you can hire the DVD from Blockbuster now so I might give it a go one evening just to remember all the characters.

any and every being faintly related to African Royalty

Is he related to Iva Bigin?

Couldn't find one of him in It Ain't Half Hot Mum.

^even the pic does not ring a bell. I might have to rent the DVD and check the credits. It would be fun to see it again.

distantly but you can see a similarity in the eye of each.

Marmite the Dog sent me an e-mail once but I'm afraid I've disposed of it so have decided not to enter this competition. Thanks for the invite, though.

Ta.

This competition is just made for Gentleman Scamp, given his television days. E mails along the lines of

Dear Scampy
You're fired
Love
Famous Person

I am the most famous person i know, and thats because i have been on Radio 4 once and Radio Cornwall three times.

I received an email from Bill Gates once, does that count ?

^^SBF - please send me an e-mail so that I can win

Also haven't you been in the TD Newsletter? Boy oh Boy, can hardly wait. I'm going to win this for sure!!

Norris McWhirter

(the one that didn't get shot by the IRA)

It was a letter, not an email, does that count?

NONE OF THE ABOVE COUNT

anyway, I once received an email from John of Norfolk

Got one from Her Majesty, a letter not an email, it was sent via her personal sorting office at the Customs and Excise. I didn't reply. Very discourteous of me. Now I live in Thailand and we don't correspond anymore. Shame.
