Was in the staff room at work the other day. Getting quite bored of reading 20 year old Womans Day, Womans Weekly and the dog eared Readers Digest. Funny isn't it, no one admits to liking the Readers Digest but it's the most read one. Yesterday was a Womans Weekly that was only a few days old. Probably meant for the patients but brought into the staffroom by someone wanting a lunchtime read. Do I like reading yet again about Lindsey what's her face or the latest Brittany scandel? Not really. However, a bloke needs to keep ahead of his Hollywood gossip. A woman likes a chap who knows who's who in L.A. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

Flicking through the pages I stumbled across THIS (external link) image of Mr and Mrs Seal. Zooming (external link) in a bit more shows a MKIII of some sort. Hopefully with a very wide lens on the front.!!

So I wondered. Does anyone know if there are any 'famous' Canon users on here? If not, next time you see Mr and Mrs Seal...point them this way:D

I think there may be a few, but they're not so obvious.

Besides, if they came 'out' on POTN, they could be quoted!

*gasp*

Myself, I was wondering about Danny Bonnaducci.

He's everywhere.

I've met a few famous people. Does that count?

Personally, I would rather be dead than famous.

Organizing a POTN Tour of Famous people. I guess if nobody starts dropping names, I may charge $5 to take you on a mini parade of the world class celebrities.
