Fame

The other day I noticed that the director of a TV programme I was watchig had the same name as someone I went to primary school with. As it was an unusual name I "googled"it and discovered that he was in fact my friend from when I was 7. I was deeply excited at this connection with someone famous. I couldn't stop smiling and wanted to wake my partner to tell her. The next morning I emailed some of my old school friends who would have rememebered him. It started a trail of emails between some people who haven't spoken to each other for years.

I'd like to speak to the famous person. But i wouldn't know what to say.

as someone who has plenty of experience in meeting former friends who have since discovered fame and/or fortune i can offer the following advice:
- dress casually (avoid bow ties, surplus jewellery) Remember, you're saying `I knew you when you and I were knee-high to a grasshopper`
- take amphetamines beforehand to boost your self-confidence (though avoid excessive alcohol consumption, unless you intend to sing)
- introduce something you had in common (like nits or chicken pox)
- above all, don't be over-awed. we all poo the same way (if you`re short on discussion you could even mention this)
