Plenty of choice really, but will be hard to find one not booked out.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

It's a number, the Bacon Number, rather like the Erdös NumberOriginally posted by EternalOptimist View Post
well I dont know this K.Bacon to whom you refer.
But it's great that all these people are keen on meeting.
I'll tell you what it is zippy - They are obviously thinking about ' the good old days'
maybe everyone thinks that ten yeas ago was the good old days

I'd come along if it wasn't so far - Chances are one of them knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows me.
edit: Edward Woodward has a Bacon Number of 2; but amazingly, so does Will Hay! I tried some British actor who died nearly 60 years ago, to try and get a long chain (or none); but he is linked to Kevin Bacon by only one person, Roddy McDowell. I bet no one can find a Bacon chain longer than 4.Last edited by OwlHoot; 17 November 2009, 22:15.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

The Oracle of Bacon that OH links to (which was formerly hosted by the University of Virginia) analyses IMDb data, and asserts that there are 26 actors with a Bacon Number of 8. Apparently, about 12% of actors in the IMDb database have an undefined Bacon Number, as there is no path between them and Kevin Bacon.Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostI bet no one can find a Bacon chain longer than 4.
Just for fun, I put Rodney Bewes in there, assuming that Bob Ferris from The Likely Lads might have a reasonably high Bacon Number. The result: 2
Rodney was in Decline and Fall... of a Birdwatcher (1968) with Donald Sinden, who was in Balto (1995) with Kevin Bacon
For those who find Bacon Numbers or Erdős Numbers no longer sufficient to satisfy their social-graph-curiosity, there is (of course) the Erdős–Bacon Number which is the sum of the Erdős and Bacon numbers. Natalie Portman has an Erdős–Bacon Number of 6 due to her co-authorship of a psychology paper when she was at Harvard - one less than Stephen Hawking's 7
