I think some poeple who will remain nameless Kayla and Jamie have been taking this to the extreme by saying pretty much anybody they can with even the most remote type of affiliation to them. I believe that that is taking it a bit to the extreme and nobody has time to sift through all that. But, not only did they say almost everybody they can, the told us exactly who they were. I mean honestly, I think if they are notable, and we don't know who they are, we can just google the name.

No, Mr Pernickety, the question is, are you related to people who have done notable things. I think meeting Rolan Bolan, Marc Bolan's flesh and blood, is pretty notable. All of my family have met members of the royal family & the government, but none of us consider that in the remotest notable. So there.

Now I feel terrible. I thought I was clearly being sarcastic about the idea of meeting Rolan Bolan being a notable event. I mean, I have nothing against Rolan Bolan, apparently he's a nice chap, and he DID come all the way over from Los Angeles to Yorkshire to host the Marc Bolan function, which was nice. It seemed to give my parents (particularly my Dad :shock:) a thrill, the way they talked about him. But it's not REALLY no table, or not the way btownmeggy meant, I imagine.

I once dreamed that Bill Clinton invited me to his house for Thanksgiving dinner with him, Hillary, and Chelsea. I accepted. It was great.

I dream about VERY different things (and not always about sex too).

I had a dream where I was in Oz and I was riding a giant hershey's kiss that floated on water and theere were mermaids. Then we (me and a bunch of random people) disembark and go via chariots through a forest, during this trip Barack Obama, who's standing about 5 feet away from me, announces he's running for president, and I'm yelling "No! Stop! Do it later! Nobody will know..." but he ignored me.

Frankly, I think you're making that dream up. You make no mention of any untoward sexual advances from the great man himself. Unless, of course, you didn't think they were untoward :shock:
