    Ouch.

    Well, i guess there is a lesson in that that will do as much for his future as oxbridge would have done.

    Has he used the time well? :D

    He works in social media PR, which he enjoys.

    I would never have a fling. I have an agreement with DH that I could with Clooney if he could with Minogue, but that is the only open element in my relationship and long may it stay that way. On the other hand I thoroughly enjoy celebrity window-shopping.
    I think....

    So, will you be the last in your line?

    Well, there are plus sides. :cool:

    Less need/moral impetus to make prudent inheritance tax plans for one. No baby sitting teething crying things for another. No example to set, so smoking and living off frozen kebabs, or drinking and letting filthy animals sleep on the bed is no great heinous education for a young impressionable mind. No cbeebies, no bright coloured plastic. Less chance of bunkruptcy.

    Just had a look at the hottest 100 wimen

    I didn't get very far before thinking they would have to be nice, GSOH and pretty smart.

    I always liked Beyonce

    I must be getting old. I don't know who a great number of those are, until the higher numbers and the 'older' women. I do think J-Lo is stunningly beautiful in everything she wears and would kill for her figure. She only made no 60.

    Oh well then, Jose for his looks, Colin for his sense of humour, George for his boyish pranksterishness, Obama to sing to me, Becks for his legs (footballers' legs are lovely apart from the knackered scarred knees), Robert Downey Jr for his edgy naughtiness. I now need to find a way of putting Hugh Jackman's face on Brian Cox's brain (too pretty) and I'm all set. Oh, and all at the same time. I meanwhile will be laying on a chaise longue while being fed grapes by Daniel Craig, while appreciating my entourage.

    Rachel Weisz - I've never met her, but I knew her father, George. He was a very, very smart cookie, so I expect that she'd be smart enough for you.

    When her parents were divorcing, she became quite a difficult teenager. On one occasion, her father locked her in her room, so she climbed down the drain pipe 5 floors! Feisty enough for you?

    Oh, as I'm name-dropping anyway, I saw Vanessa Redgrave out walking today at Kenwood.

    I skimmed over some stupid idea in the week - Kate whats-er-name's brother declared that he had what he has due to hard work ....

    I'm guessing he didn't think any of it was to do with the parents' successful business, a good education, location, contacts ... and his sister marrying the future king. If he'd grown up in my village he'd have probably got a holiday job at the factory and then joined the army or been a mechanic (those were the two boy choices).
