YOu know, I have never met anyone who liked washing their hair, although many people love having it washed :) This is why these memes can be such fun, because every now and again a little window into a different avenue opens. Washing hair... hm... I'll think about that!<br />It is interesting how few people want to be famous. I would guess there'd be a different response from under 20s. I seem to remember almost everyone wanting to be famous when we were at school.
