          Alan Turing topped himself in the town where I live at the moment.
          I think one of those supremely bland bands like Doves come from there too, so maybe Alan Turing had secretly invented time travel as well as computers and saw what his town was going to be like and decided there was no hope.

              I never remember names of celebrities. That boxer chap from a few years back. That woman who wrote that thing with all those Liverpudlian layabouts (now lives in Sussex).

              And some drummer from Status Quo or some group of that era has just moved in near my sister's place.

              Don't live here but Kiera Knightley (mmmm!) and Tom Cruise have been here recently too. (Saint Hill Manor)
