As for me, I get sea sick so I broke the chain.

Annie -

I think you've got some other famous ones that we won't talk about  ;)

Me - I've got a lovely 'fallen woman' who I love dearly, a headmaster of the Bluecoat School in Liverpool, John Prescott  :(, a head of the Home Civil service, who got a peerage, a few University professors, many artists, and lots of other wonderful people......

And me who seems to have combined a lot of these in my various careers  ::) ::) ::)
