Dear So-and-So Funnyman,
Please give me a job. I lie in a horrible place and I get treated like dirt at work. So anything you can offer me would be great. Especially if somehow it involves me driving a hot rod.yrs truly,H.Mann
their reply:
Dear Mr. Mann,
I represent Mssrs Rickles and Cosby, and at their behest I must ask that you cease and desist your campaign of harrassment and intimidation. Any further correspondence from you will be considered as "threatening" and passed on to the appropriate authorities.
Sincerly,F. Barnsworth Wadsfellow, LLB
PS, Enclosed is an autographed 8"X10" of your mom naked.

Second that. Haha, I just remembered why I met them--they were playing in Montreal and they asked the Casa management if anyone could point out interesting Jewish cultural/heritage sites in the neighbourhood (once a big Jewish immigrant hotspot--there's lots of old synagogues, yeshivas, mikvahs etc if you're into that kind of thing). So the Casa calls me & I gave 'em the lowdown. Very funny weird incident.

On Doctor Who newsgroups I've argued with Jon Blum, Kate Orman, David McIntee, Paul Cornell, Lance Parkin, Jon DeBurgh Miller (those got VICIOUS), and I think I might have thrown down with Paul Ebbs and Peter Anghelides. (Actually, I doubt I argued with Peter.)
Oh, and I think I got Xorcist to call me a poser on rec.music.industrial once. I used to chat with Joe LeSense before he became Jordana.

When about 3 my brother really liked David Icke for some reason (he was on BBC Breakfast time at that point (David Icke, not my brother)). My mum helped him write to ask for a signed photo. Not only did he get a signed photo but he also got a Ladybird children's book about counting or the alphabet or something that he also signed. Always thought that was really nice of him.

"Run, Spot," says Dick. "Run, Spot," says Dora.
Run, Spot, run.
See Spot's blood. Dick is a lizard.
"Drink blood now," says Dick. "Arrrgh, grfffllfbBBLLfh," says Dora.
Drink, lizard, drink. Dick licks his chops.
The world is ours. Tremble, world, tremble.

Note to Rosemary: Marjorie Ingall and I are good friends. I've lied to her father. I once had to pretend to be her boyfriend to keep away a drunk stalker. Does she count as famous?

He wrote *me* back, turns out he's never heard Johnny Marr!!

What what wha-???
Well, Johnny has certainly heard of him.
I should mention I did write an email to Momus back in the day regarding the Stars Forever project (ie it was not a fan letter/email), and he sent me an awfully nice reply.
