Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 I saw my best bet (Sir Bobby Robson - Former England, Newcastle United Football Manager) on TV the other day and was surprised at how bad he actually was. That old legend has survived cancer three times and a stroke, and he was still smiling and laughing shaking peoples hands at the FA Cup Final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 Oldest living billionaire? That classifies him as a celebrity? Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft. I looked him up before the contest. He was famous enough. His company makes Birds Eye frozen foods, and he signed the first deal to make french fries for McDonald's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Colour me disappointed. I was super stoked all day that I thought I had Yves Saint Laurent on my list, and now I don't. Also I'm extremily bitter that I didn't break a 100 today, first time in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 So do I. I also recall him doing a fist-pump, to the chagrin of his fiancee, in January when Farrah Fawcett was ill. I don't feel an ounce of pity over him not breaking 100 during a round of golf, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
