was thinking putting famous in subject title? 1st >Sylvia Krystal, there was a girl who became notorious/famous but as is often and sadly , the course of her life(imo) decended into a life of despair,unhappyness. 2nd>Roy Bates, prince/king/ruler ?? of "Sealand" a lump of metal outside of ,origionally british territorial waters,that he "seized/occupied/claimed" (akin to an oil platform sans rig) and established a principality ! (never officially reconised ) anyhow ,do google him and his exploits , they got to make a film of one of the great ,now late(sad), wonderful last of, English eccentrics ! more like him would be a very good thing for us all!!!
