Famous People in your town [Switzerland]

Guess you better make a bit of space in your broom cuboard then !

well, DJ Antoine lives about 500m from where I live, but I think (and hope) that he doesn't really pass as a celeb....

Sorry, can't help myself - but is this about the claim to fame or is this a help-site for stalkers...? I guess if I were any of the above I would be really pi**ed off to find that people post where I spend my 'private time'..... on the other hand - my only claims are Walter Andreas Müller (he does a bloody great Christoph Blocher on the Polit-Satire shows!) and Franz Hohler at the market... no internationals for me - would love to meet TT though.... she's still TOP!

I heard somewhere that Tina Turner lives in Knusnacht ZH. I work there but have never bumped into her though. =[

i know Vladimir Nabokov's son lives in Geneva (he is friends with someone i know)

Vladimir himself lived in Geneva/Montreux till he passed away.

Current Miss Switzerland.

if anyone knows of anyone famous in the wonderful vallee de joux let me know. Yes it does exist!

I used to live around the corner from 1976 Olympic 1500m gold medallist John Walker. But that was in New Zealand which is erm ..... 11,000 miles from Zurich.

And we moved out in 1978.

Fabian Cancellara lives a few doors up ...

What about infamous????

The wife of the suicide bomber who killed Akhmad Shah Massoud on 9/9/2001. Yep, she has remarried.

I used to babysit the kids of the '98 Winter Olympic gold medalist for Curling who happens to live here in Cham.

She lives at the bottom of my road, seen her out and about a few times but never spoken to her and I agree, she looks good for someone of advancing years!

He now lives, at least for tax purposes, down the hill here in Wollerau.

We also have Kimi Raikkonen up the road (has almost reversed into my wife several times from his garage, but can select first gear very quickly I am told...)

... and more CS and UBS et al bankers than you can count.

IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad is leaving in Epalinges 5min from Lausanne

Thought I'd just let this one go but then you got thanked for it so now I have to ask.... Huh?

Boris admitted shagging some bird in the broom cupboard, or on the stairs or something.

There must be a lot more than this is Switzerland?

As a tax haven, there must be celebs hiding around every corner, saying that Nassau has better weather I suppose.

Well, a fair few years back, the devine Mr Becker was having dinner at Spagos in London. Somewhere between entree and main course he decided he had an appetite for something a little more saucy. So he copulated with some random bird in the broom closet.

This turned out to be her gravy train, as 9 months later she had a kid, and swore that it was his. Naturally, he denied it, so they did a paternity test, and low and behold, his genes were written all over the it. One didn't need to go to a lab to ascertain these results, as his offspring had red hair, pouty lips, blue eyes, and cheekbones that could cut ice

wait! I have one. You could say that he put his broom in her closet

So how is young "Dyson" doing now ?

So it was a quicky in the cupboard!?! I'd heard that it was oral-sex on the stairs... and wasn't a turkey-bastor involved somehow, or was that a totally different celebrity?
