| #8 ...she was once asked to open a fete. The 2002 Winter Olympics were held in Utah, and Australia's comedy duo H.G. and Roy, who'd covered the 2000 Sydney Olympics so well, were there. One day they interviewed Miss Utah. H.G. was asking about her duties -- for example, if she were to open a fete... "Fete" is not often used in the US, and of course H.G. said it with an Aussie accent, so Miss Utah miss understood. "Fight?" she laughed. "I don't think I've ever been asked to open a fight!" OK, it's a boring story, but it's all I got. |

| #7 I suppose you all know this tall story, recounted at wikipedia: According to Dors' autobiography, she was once asked to open a fete. Dors lunched with the local Vicar, during which she informed him that her real name was Diana Fluck. The Vicar became somewhat worried about his planned speech. Totally unnerved about mispronouncing "Fluck", he introduced Diana with these immortal words: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you our star guest. We all love her, especially as she is our local girl. I therefore feel it right to introduce her by her real name; Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the very lovely Miss Diana Clunt." |
