Brighton's greatest celebrity

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Yeah I thought Macca lives in Hove

 

[mrhairy]

No the house on Hove seafront is Heathers, and virtually next door to FBS.

 

[magoo]

Are we talking about greatest as in biggest?

If so then Fatboy Slim must be bigger than any named above!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Lord Olivier

If we're allowed DEAD people, how about the Prince Regent?

Or Peter Alekseyevich Kropotkin?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

McArtney lives on the same road as Fatboy Slim.

I think Eubank because he is just such a legend.

 

[Gully]

Lord Olivier, his contribution to the World of entertainment has so far eclipsed anything else by those named above.

I always thought that Macca was a scouser, perhaps it was his accent or the fact that everyone raves on about the Beatles being from Liverpool, but then again I might be way off the mark, perhaps it was Adur-beat not Mersey-beat...

Still not famous all over the world like Sir Larry

 

[Padders]

Steve Ovett

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Still not famous all over the world like Sir Larry

True of the Prince Regent.

But not true of Kropotkin.

Olivier's fame is confined to the English speaking world.

[Northstander]

[Knightsworld]

Sally Gunnell does she still live in the area?

 

[Bluejuice]

Des Lynham is a glaring omission.

But of the list FBS is easily the best-known globally.

Anyway, what about that guy from the Fast Show?

 

[Knightsworld]

Anyway, what about that guy from the Fast Show?

Mark Williams, he's a brummie that lives down here.

 

[ManxSeagull]

Talking of Sally Gunnell.

I was playing golf today and hit a poor shot. One of my mates said that's a Sally Gunnell shot. I look at him very confused and he said "Ugly as f**k but runs well".

 

[cheshunt seagull]

No mention of Dora Bryan, Anne Nightingale, Keith Waterhouse or Vera Lynn?

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Hove Born and Bred?

Too f***ing right.

 

[Yorkie]

No mention of Dora Bryan, Anne Nightingale, Keith Waterhouse or Vera Lynn?

I mentioned Dora Bryan.

Sorry Lord B, I have never heard of Kropotkin
