Annabel's Biography:
Annabel was brought into this world in 1975 in the coastal town they forgot to close down, Southend-on-Sea.
In the intervening years since then she has led the most varied life of all the Symposium members. She taught English to Poles and Mexicans for three years, spent six months doing data-input, one week cleaning an old people's home and to our knowledge holds a national record for the 6 years she held a paper round (until the unusually mature age of 18).
In January 2001 she came to One Golden Square on a work experience placement and was spotted by the Svengali, Geoff Lloyd. Since then she has auditioned to be Michael Hutchence's replacement, been to circus school, and composed a song with Paul McCartney.
Annabel facts:
- She loves The Smiths, John Travolta, pigs, and above all else tomatoes - she never eats a meal without one.
- Her boyfriend is the United Kingdom's most experienced male wing walker.

Wikipedia Controversy
In January 2007 Annabel's
entry on the free online encyclopedia was threatened with deletion after a Wikipedia editor challanged that she was not a
notable person.
A fierce
debate ensued, but happily on 1 February it was decided that she was significant enough to remain on their servers. The announcement was made by a Wikipedia user based on Salt Lake City, who contributes articles on an indie band from Malta called the
Beangrowers and
Mormonism.
You may wish to visit the
article, it contains some interesting additions to this biography, including the fact that she was educated "at Oxford...Polytechnic".
