I am researching Richard Branson today and I just found out that his home address is literally "Richard's House, Necker Island" which is the private island that he owns. As I understand it, basically the island consists of his home on one end and a resort on the other.

Someday I want to be so rich and/or famous that you can just address my envelope to Sam's House, Sam's Private Island.

I also had to correct the report that someone else wrote, because he's Sir Richard or Mr. Branson but not Sir Branson.

Nerdy Coworker: Why do you suppose that is?
Me: *deep tones* England.
Nerdy Coworker: Suddenly I want tea.

I love the story about how Kate Winslet saved his mother by carrying her out of a burning building.

Yeah, me too. I'd aim small, like, for the Thimble Islands in Branford, CT, but they're all being bought up by some crazy lady who then sits on the real estate. So I don't hold out much hope. (I go there to kayak sometimes, though.)

I once received a letter addressed only to: [My first name], [My home town].

My home town has fewer than 300 people and I was the only person with my first name in it. You don't have to be rich to get that - just rural and isolated.

Technically, now he's been knighted, he's not "Mr Branson" any more, just "Sir Richard", or "Sir Richard Branson" (the first time you talk about him; after that, just "Sir Richard"); it's one of those odd things like addressing the Queen as "Your Majesty" the first time you speak to her, and then "ma'am" thereafter.

Plumbing problems cause unwelcome disruptions in your water
flow, and also ugly leaks, bursts, and water wastages that can spike your water bill.
Instead of acquiring this knowledge by discovering embezzled funds or damaged property,
why not hire a reliable background check company. Emergency projects
- If an entire pipe bursts and your home is flooding, a plumber can tend
to that.

My mother once had her own zip code, does that count?

Well, okay, it was her own zip + four, but her plus-four was for the 300 block of East Mill Street, which consisted of her house. The building across the street had its address on the cross street, as (apparently) did the vacant lot next to her.

HAHA, that totally counts. I would have it engraved on something.

Now that I think of it, it sounds like an insult, doesn't it?

Your mama's so big she has her own zip code!

The fees and the penalties are checked before finalizing a loan
and the terms and the conditions for obtaining this loan
has to be studied very carefully. As a first time homeowner it is very difficult for
you to decide which of these options suits you best.
As opposed to credit cards, personal loans provide inexpensive sources of funds.
