15 Minutes of Fame?

[autopilot]

Inspired by the 'What famous people have you met' thread...

So who has had their '15 minute of fame' then?

Myself - I was played by an actor on crime watch, as i was the last person to see someone before they were murdered. I was also interviewed on Australian TV news for a piece of eating habits. It was very random!

Spill the beans then

i think my mum still has a tape of me on local TV for Haloween. I was in primary 1, so that would be about...20 years ago!

I've been name checked a couple of times on 6Music too. Tom Robinson even read out an email verbatim at the start of the year. Yes i did record the play it again stream for posterity

I've had two letters published in Bike, and one in the Independent, when I was a teenager. Erm- that's it.

I still plan to write a Eurovision winning song at some point- I have a load of holiday coming up this month, better get down to it....

I'm in a Slayer documentary somewhere, Blue Meridians tour dvd along with a few others but thats my only speaking role . I was on C4's Download coverage extremely briefly in a shot which also involved slight lesbianism, been name checked on the radio a few times aswell.

Front page of the Sunderland Echo for doing a parachute jump.
Appeared on TV in Sweden for a program on Scottish Dancing in Hong Kong (my parents dragged me along while I was there visiting them, and yes, the female presenter was very hot).

Was in the Middlesbrough local newspaper 2 days ago if that counts? Was a quick street interview asking "Would you ever fly in a plane which was piloted by a computer, and had no human pilot"

On the day that the first Gulf War started in January 1991 the Independant newspaper front page was a picture of me writing home to my wife from Bahrain.

I have also made an album (I think it sold about 5 copies) - it was when I was in the school choir - not telling you when and where in case some of you still hold it against me

I produced the "Jake Thackray Project" double CD. 74 tracks lifted off vinyl, cleaned up in Cool Edit Pro, and released as limited edition of 300 copies. Got a mention on Mike Harding show as producer of said CDs. Got my name and that of my studios mentioned in the sleeve notes in a further JT CD EMI/HMV release. All happened in 2002/03. Jake sadly died Xmas Eve 2002, knowing he had a huge active fan base.

I was an extra in two films. The first was called The Love Child and the second was Fever Pitch. I also had my photo used in a local news paper for taking part in a swimming gala.

My brother has out done me though. He was an extra in The Love Child and Fever Pitch. He also had a picture with Charles Kennedy that was in a national news paper afaik. Finally, he was in a ikea advert that was shown in Sweden.

Forgot to mention that i won Letter Of The Month in both PC format and PC Gamer a few years back.

I appeared on Newsround when Sutton Utd beat Coventry in the FA cup back in the late 80's. At the age of 5 I drew an advert for smarties that appeared in Norway. Oh the heady heights.

The back of my head was on TV on Thursday! I was in the audience of the Late Edition. Free tickets here (God Bless the BBC)

Jake Thackray is a legend, I first heard "on again on again" on Mike Harding and never looked back. I'll definately keep my eyes open for a copy of the Jake Thackray project.

Hmm a few years in a TINY school band (only local though) but then I went with a chinese society on a trip for 4 days to a British Army Camp, got to play with the guns, do marching etc (and a hell of a lot of press ups) and had 2 chinese reporters follow us.

Ended up in a journal/paper thing and a 10 minute TV program.
