Claims to fame?
« on: 06 October 2010, 14:44:23 »
My Dad is seen (and heared) riding his motorbike on Boys from the blackstuff in 1982 here at 4.10min http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_o0eep02tU
He used to show me this when I was a kid. Has anyone been in a tv program or film?

My wife and kids featured in the travel programme "Fun in the Sun" (on ITV I think it was) in December 1989 - a feature on Sierra Leone. I was working and she was by the pool when the cameras turned up - she slagged off the airport organisation which could have been risky. Sierra Leone was a great place in those days pre civil war in 1991.

I have been on Al Jazeera, and Ghana and Ivory Coast TVs over the years. I would not class that as fame particularly but a few years ago my local indian restaurant claimed to have seen the Ghana programme on one of the obscure Sky channels.

Apart from a few local newspaper bits, I was on Saturday Superstore and asked Roland Gift of the fine young cannibals a question while in the studio live on TV

Not to fame but to shame.

I appeared - quite by accident - in the morning, lunchtime and evening news bulletins the day following a particularly nasty incident I attended and got a very severe bollocking for it. :-? ;D

Been in a travel brochure, otherwise managed to avoid my 15 mins of fame ;D


I have, in a previous job, visited some relatively famous people ;)

I was filmed by a Japanese TV crew while playing a squeezebox in a Dublin bar a few years ago (& I'm not Irish) ;)
