Hot notables in YOUR area

[El Unicornio, mang]

Had no idea Andy Taylor of Duran Duran is from a house that's 10 minutes walk from mine.

Aside from that, Tony Scott and Ian Le Frenais.

Malady ridden artist and one of my favourite illustrators was local boy, Aubrey Beardsley.



edit: Just noticed he's mentioned above. Nice portrait though.

[Underturd]

He looks a proper plonker.

Lord Snooty

[Pink Gregory]

I've got JERMBLY CROMBYNS

I know he was born here but I don't think he's from here

also lists his status as 'alive - probably yes'

[PowerButchi]

Mark Hughes and his perm absolutely romps it in my immediate vicinity.

Lord Snooty

More like Walter the Softy, he died at 25 of tuberculosis.

[Brundle-Fly]

Plug from The Bash Street Kids.

[Theoretical Dentist]

I got Bear Grylls near me, but Wiki says he was born in London (not near me).

English Wikipedia says he was born in Donaghadee, County Down, which I guess is closer to you. Wikidata says London, which it says is imported from Galician Wikipedia, which does indeed have London in its infobox. It's odd since I assumed the map got its birthplaces from Wikidata.

Also searching for Bear Grylls I discovered there's a DJ/producer called Bear Grillz, who's 'based in' Denver according to English Wikipedia but it doesn't say where he was born.

[ros vulgaris]

The man who developed the WW1 hand grenade ("Mills Bomb") was born a couple of streets away, which I presume is my immediate neighbourhood's most infamous claim.

[Jim_MacLaine]

Apparently made it big in the US of A.

[McFlymo]

Donaghadee seems appropriate. You'd definitely be fond of a life of eating insects and drinking piss in a forest if you were born there.

Ken Owen (Carcass) eclipsing Jeff Walker (Carcass).

[gilbertharding]

The village where I live now has a woman who is 'an artist' and is 'probably still alive'. Her name only appears when you zoom right in.

On the other hand, my hometown has a man whose name appears in the same size font as Margaret Thatcher and Eric Clapton, but whose most notable accomplishments were killing the King and banning Xmas.

Is it Morrissey?

[Dr Rock]

Dennis Nilsen

[dissolute ocelot]

Belfast is CS Lewis though Mad Dog Adair and IRA man Billy Reid pop up, with Brian Desmond Hurst who directed the Alastair Sim film of Scrooge to the east.

[thenoise]

You refer of course to her bosom

Whence the humour doth flow.

[lauraxsynthesis]

RIP to our one Steve Harley. I'd only just found out he was from here and all.

[mippy]

Penge appears to have a grand total of NO NOTABLE CUNT.

Where I grew up in Kent has 'Arthur Wellard' which I'm choosing to believe is the full name of the dog from Eastenders.

If you look at Crystal Palace Park there's a lovely-sounding far right fella in there.
