Ted owes us one I am sure. Marc owes us one, that I am sure of too.
Come on guys, guessing without a new one is just stopping the game. if you aren't going to put a new one up when you're right.......

This one will be hard.......
I will give no clue for 3 days hence......
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Isn't it a shame that he is not also handsome!
He looks English, somehow. But in "those days" men were not gay, they merely had sex with each other. "Greek Love" was espoused as a decent virtue, much the same as I would espouse it today given a chance 
I think we may be fairly sure he is not a movie star. I see him at around 1800-1820, just pre-victorian. But I have been wrong before.

Marc, 5 days have passed - and still no clue. Have pity, have mercy, help us in our hour of need

Thanks to Google that clue was a give-away. Was this not William Rufus King? I found the following in Wikipedia:
In 1819 Buchanan was engaged to Ann Caroline Coleman, the daughter of wealthy iron manufacturer. However she abruptly broke off their engagement and died of mysterious causes several days later. After his fiancée’s death Buchanan vowed he would never marry. He would live with Alabama senator William Rufus King for sixteen years in Washington, D.C., but King died four years before Buchanan became president. Rumors and speculation circulated that the two had a homosexual relationship, with references to Buchanan's "wife" and "better half", and former President Andrew Jackson referred to King as "Miss Nancy". On occasion, Buchanan even referred to King as "Aunt Nancy". The difficulty in determining if someone was a homosexual, especially in the mid-19th century, means Buchanan's sexual orientation remains uncertain.

And the answer is yes.

If Wikipedia causes you a problem edit the wiki page.

The quote from JFR was the only sarcasm I could see. Did I miss something?

It really figures that you would see the fact that "I thought no one cared" as sarcastic.
The fact that the post sat dormant for that time led me to that conclusion.
As for "did you miss something".... yup.......

Sarcasm???? I think what was missed here was a good sense of humour. I'm sorry for any discomfort caused. Clearly my impish sense of humour is unique to me  (

You said "The sarcasm is all so pleasant...... Nothing less than I expect". I scratched my head to see what was sarcastic and all I could see was the Wikipedia stuff.
I did not see "I thought no-one cared" as anything at all.
