Hi Smee,
I don't like being "smarmy",
But I do bit parts, and was a warrior in Raiders of the Lost Ark
The stupid looking bloke at the back with a big black wig on.
I kid you not, I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time !
My moments of fame, being added to an Anglia TV thing interveiwing me about the local state of the council. Broadcast on the local news thing.
There you go.
Bob.

I was also on Going Live back in the late 80s. Ten years later, I worked on a record stall in Camden market that used to sell the occasional bootleg CD (I emphasise the word bootleg, ie live recordings, as opposed to pirate/counterfeit goods). Anyway, we were busted by the police and the BPI, and they had a BBC film crew in tow. The bust was shown in a documentary on BBC2! Hardly fame, I know, but it gave me a degree of notoriety amongst friends and acquaintances.

I was on the 'Video Vote' on Going Live when I was 13 and made a complete *** of myself and in 2001 I was also on National Lottery Winning Lines with Phil Schofield and came very close to winning a dream holiday.

Yes, on the newspaper and the TV. Our whole school had an activity where we had shows from Kindergarten to College. Our school was huge. This was in the philippines.
There were people from other countries, such as Russia, USA, etc etc. i was in 4th grade I believe.

yes. local bbc tv. i was featured in an article in a consumers rights programme. a bit like watchdog only they deal with local issues.
why? a slimming pill company sent me a letter saying a friend had been in touch with them basically recommending me for the pills. i knew it was crap by how it was written and the fact i'm only 9 stone, but i thought if someone who was overweight had got this letter it could have a serious affect on them. i phoned the show and they took on the case.

Been on Kilroy twice, when he was having a regular morning slot on T.V. was there in capacity of counsellor/therapist, assisting in answering questions and airing views !
Have also appeared on Radio 4 & 5 in the same capacity and sitting in on phone-in shows too !
Picture has been published in various magazines and journals that i have written articles for.
The most comical photo published was in a naturist magazine quite a few years ago of me cutting down a tree with a chainsaw , in the buff !!!
( could have been dangerous that one , with a slip of the wrist !......lol)

Yes - I've been in the papers because I made a rather important scientific discovery. Not telling you which or it would give away my identity.

No, and I am thankful. I wouldn't want to be famous either, planet celebrity is just nuts.

No..... Who'd want to be anyway? How would you like to be gawped at while buying extra small condoms and suppositories at your local chemists?
