Pretty sure Dave Ramsay still lives over there although he comes here to do shows.

I can't think of any that LIVE here, why would they want to? Well, maybe for the weather, but that's it.

In some countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the April 1 tradition requires jokes to be played before midday: if somebody pulls an April Fools' Trick after midday, then the person pulling the trick is actually considered the fool.

The only Dave Ramsay that I could find was a Yank. Could be meaning Gordon Ramsay (who's Scottish by birth) of course, but then can he really be classed as a celebrity if people can't remember his name

You are right!

This is the first time in my 45 years that I have ever heard of the "midday rule".
I guess this is just another thing that you Brits and this Yank are different about huh?

OK you Brits and others, why is it that you seem to know so much more about our celebs than we do about yours?




Are there any British celebrities, really?


The only one I can think of is Susan George...... that's going back to the '70s..... I don't even know if she's around anymore.

If she's in the same state that I'm in then she probably thinks it's still 4/1....
Oh, nevermind, you were talking about a state in America, not a state of mind.

I'ver never heard of the midday rule either.

They're celebs and they were over here..... and probably overpaid. I don't know about oversexed..... I am pretty sure I don't want to know about that part.
