Info taken down
I want to apologize publicly to Vanessa. She was just trying to give me a few interesting tidbits and suddenly found herself being hounded by Hugh’s fans. I have taken down all of the information and hope that she will still visit the site to say “hello”.

I hope she’ll still visit us too, but I don’t think so. They’ve treated her as a stalker and she was just trying to provide some info to anyone who want to read it. It’s a shame.

Can someone send it to me, please?
December 19th, 2007 at 11:18 am
DO NOT SEND IT TO HER!!!! - Sorry Ann.
I just came back to check it was gone and thank you Randi for that and your message.
I really didn’t mean any harm. Randi asked if people submitted questions to her would I answer them and I said yes then I added that in another email to her to show the kind of stuff I knew and that I didn’t really know anything interesting. It was not my intention that that would be posted. I just should have made that clearer to her.
Thank you to all the people who emailed and said they found it interesting and to those who didn’t i’m sorry. Remember that was information I have picked up over months and not intentionally, i’m just observant. If you want I can tell you stuff about all my other neighbours as well. I’m sure if you think about what you know about your neighbours you could come up with way more than that.

Hi Vanessa, I hope you read this.
I haven’t visited this site in the past few days, so I don’t know what was going on. Obviously nothing nice, to say the least.
I feel sorry, because I think some extent of fault lies with me, having started the first longer “public dialgue” with you.
I also hope you won’t stop popping in here completely.
I felt you are a nice person. For my part, I enjoyed being allowed to ask “a real Londoner” my off-topic questions just as much.
I’m looking forward to my London visit after Christmas and I hope you enjoy your x-mas break wherever you go.
To the rest here on Watching House -
Ask yourselves how often you have gossipped about neighbours.
I live in a little village where Chaka Khan (I know - not quite THAT bigscale as Hugh) used to stay for quite a while over some years.
Inevitably, you find out lots about that person and of course, there’s a lot of gossip.
The one who’s without sin may cast the first stone.

Well said, Chris!
Since I have Multiple Sclerosis, I really only leave the house to go to the store or the doctor.
When my son started going to school he heard all kinds of stories about me because people never saw me (I use the back door because there are no stairs there.) He even heard that I had died and he lived with his grandmother.
This is nothing like what Vanessa said about Hugh, but it just goes to show how the smallest little detail turns into a big deal by people who have nothing better to do than gossip.
I come to the site for news about House and the excellent pictures that Randi finds.
I honestly don’t care about Hugh’s home life.
Unless he gets a divorce.
And moves to Alabama.
And likes 35 year old black women.
;-p
BTW, you scared me, Randi. LOL.
I use a reader to get this website and when I saw “Info taken down” I thought “OMG! Is the whole site gone?”
Glad to see that it isn’t.

Hi Angelika!
“Unless he gets a divorce. And moves to Alabama. And likes 35 year old black women.”
Hahaha, that gave me a giggling fit!
Same diagnosis here, though obviously less severe as of now. I wish you all the best for the coming year.
PS: Treatment in the US and Europe is a bit different, as far as I know.

Hi,
I’m sorry to read that the info was taken of the site, but I understand why it had to be done. Personally, I thought it was fun to read that stuff about Hugh and his family. Not for a second I thought of the person who had provided that information as a stalker. It was indeed just the things she had observed as being the neighbour.
I hope she will still visit this site. And thanks for sharing this info with us, for the short time that it was online. I’m sure we all envy you for being the Laurie’s neighbour :).
Bye, Judith

Hey,
I really like that post. It was really interesting but I understand why you had to take it down. I feel bad for Vanessa since she was only being nice and I do believe everyone has something to say about their neighbors. I wish that she’s fine right now and I hope you have wonderful christmas being Hugh’s neighbor.
I hope to meet you when I visit London one day. Haven’t been there my whole life and i wish I could have a vacation there. This site is really great since I get to meet other Hugh/House fans. Not a lot of people in the Philippines(my country) really know him. Well, my other friends were influenced to watch house because of me though haha
Vaness, if you wish to contact me to share any knowledge you could email me: camille_trinidad08@yahoo.com

I hope my reply wasn’t misunderstood.
I don’t think Vanessa did anything wrong.
I just think it’s sad that people accuse her of being a stalker and are hounding her for more information at the same time.

I really liked the post too and feel bad for Vanessa. I love Hugh Laurie and don’t want to invade his privacy, but it was actually nice to learn more about his life. I’d love to see a picture of all 3 of his kids. He is an actor, so the reality is that his life isn’t going to be completely private. I don’t think she shared anything inappropriate, but can understand why it was taken down. Sure wish he’d write his own biography or something and include some interesting pictures and stories.
