Interesting things you did not know about me Thread

[Eljohno]

Thought i would start a thread where people can post interesting things that might have happened to them or someone they know.

Maybe you appeared on a tv show, played a certain sport for your country/county/region, maybe you got an award you are proud of or it can just be something quirky?


I appeared on the news once because the place where i worked was on strike and my views on the picket line were aired.

I have been playing short mat/outdoor bowls for many years and decided to try the Indoor bowls 2 years ago and i made the Irish Squad for the first time in my life and hope to get a cap for my country in the next year or so which would be a proud moment for me.

One of my best friends is a writer on the Sesame Street Productions that has gone world wide and writes for the one in the uk called "Sesame Tree"
He also had a small part in a movie made in Ireland recently which was directed by Tom Hanks who he got to meet.

The most famous Footballers i met in person where Ray Kennedy & Emile Heskey.

Quote:-His stepfather died six months later, and by 1968 Ritchie and his mother were living in a rented flat in Tunbridge Wells where he attended Sandown Court School. In 1971 the pair moved to Hackney in East London. He also spent some time living in Somerset where he was a pupil at Clevedon Secondary Modern.

I once had a brief telecon with a very angry Artist formerly known as Prince
I came 3rd I a national singing contest during my late teens
I introduced a former premiership footballer/TV host to television
I've appeared/featured on TV 4 times, radio, a couple of times and national magazines/newspapers a few times twice
I spent a night in a police cell after being arrested on suspicion of ABH following an mistaken identity attack from 9 Turks

My first brush with famous people.....
I was very young "commis" waiter at the Quirinale Hotel in Rome, and I was asked to help prepare and serve the buffet in the small function room annexed to the Rome Opera house.
During the interval, of the "AIDA" I was gobsmacked to see enter in the room most of the top Italian politicians of the time, the Pres., the Pm Aldo Moro (The guy that got kidnapped and executed by the red brigades years later), and the secretary general of the UN U Thant. Plus actors and actresses.
After that........
Willi Brandt in Bonn.
Franz Beckenbauer
James Garner In LA
Renato Pagliari (Renee and Renato fame.QE II)
Princess Anne, in Mold of all places (Clwyd Teathre)
Bruno Conti in our home town. :xxgrinning--00xx3:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettuno

And I am sort of related to Gareth Jones (Gaz Top) being my ex wife's brother...:Erm:

Oh... Nearly forgot..... Cardinal Ottaviani was my great-great uncle....

I was appeared on Channel 2 "HOY GISING" in 1994 twice and was complaining about my Mom's farm right of way. Almost all farmers sold their farm to become a big subdivision/village in Sta. Rosa and we decided not to sell ours and Developer was not happy for that. Developer didn't give us right of way. So my Mom and Dad crawl :cwm23: to get into the farm because farm was surrounded with barb wire. Media was the solution to our problem,we got right of way. I have also bought a property from developer in case they will not give us Right of Way.

I am planning to make a website about our city. It's like a foundation website where you can see information about our town. Who's who, Where to Eat, Gallery, etc. but I can't really do it perfectly at this time. Needs helppp! I'll be proud if this will be done.:BouncyHappy:

During my time working in Malta, I met the then President of Malta (Guido De Marco), then a few weeks later the Prime Minister (Eddie Fenech Adami), I even had the privilege of meeting the great Dom Mintoff and his successor back in 80's Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici....nobody important really!

[IainBusby]

I suppose my first claim to fame was when I appeared on the New Faces TV talent show in 1973, we came second and only lost out by 2 points in the judges scoring. It wasn't like X Factor or these other talent shows back then, there was no coaching or support on talent shows in those days and you only got one chance in front of a live audience to get it right, you just turned up and done your thing and it was up to the judges and the audience whether you were any good or not. Even though we didn't win, we got so much work after that one TV appearance, we were always having to beg our manager to give us a night off now and then.

My other claim to fame was in and around the sixties live music scene in Coventry, there was a guy called Pete Waterman. He was a DJ most of the time, but he would would have a go at anything really. He happened to be a very good friend of the lead guitarist in the group I sang with and when I got fed up with the rest of the group, jacked in and went off in a mood, which I did from time to time, our lead guitarist would sometimes call on his friend Pete Waterman to fill in as lead vocalist for a few gigs.

Then after a couple of weeks, when I'd calmed down, I go back and re-join the band. So there, Pete Waterman used to be my stand in. :xxgrinning--00xx3: I wish I could be his stand in for just one night these days, as I'm sure I'd earn a helluva lot more standing in for him for 10 seconds than he ever did standing in for me.

Iain.

Juliet, we don't know what we're talking about :-)

[Pepe n Pilar]

Some of the reasons why filipinas are silent once they read thread like this is because they may feel that their achievements are not on a par with them, but they do understand the post:).

Also, some are far too modest to brag about their achievements:).

Having said that my husband has played with some top bands and used to have James Morrison's mum as his lead singer. He used to teach James some chords on the guitar when James was only 9.

:)

[Sconnie]

I have sung in concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
Appeared on regional and national TV and Radio.
I know Dec's family (as in Ant and Dec) and sang for his brother's ordination to the priesthood.
As a teenager I played Sunday afternoon football with Chris Waddle.
Went pub crawling in Newcastle with Gazza and mutual friends from Liverpool, in the eighties (think he was with Spurs at the time).

[Eljohno]

I thought i would start the thread for different reasons with who we have met that is famous being part of that but also that the Filipinos on here to share somethings also. Even if you think its not that important it could well be very interesting to the members on here.

Maybe you have a simple dream that you want to reach that you can share about.

It could be places that you have always wanted to visit.

One of the countries i always wanted to go to and thought was only a dream came true about 5 years ago when i went to Africa. I got to spend a couple of weeks in Burkina Faso & Ghana and it was everything i dreamed of and more. In a way it was like many in the Philippines who struggle from day to day but yet always smiling.

[scott&ligaya]

you are so right John,
I always find great interest in the goings on in the farm at Ligaya's place. I wanted to join the men doing "TANGLE" clever way of diverting the main river for irrigation, drive the KULIG LIG or hand tractor and pump the water with the big hand pump. I find her neighbours interesting and the kids great fun... even when they catch this big flying beetle and then use it as a toy by tying fishing wire round the beetles body but leaving the wings free to wizz around.:omg::omg::omg:

I also get amazed when we are hiking one time on Lamma island just off Hong Kong and Ligaya starts picking wierd fruits, berries and flowers and explains each one to me. I might have a couple of degrees but her "knowledge" is fascinating to me and her "common sense" far outweighs mine. I think this a trait of all our asawas.. great common sense and an ability to pick up just about anything you put in front of them

Come on ladies don't put yourselfs down.. you're amazing:huepfen024::huepfen024::REDancedancer08::REDancedancer08::appl::appl:

I believe every member on here has some interesting things that has happened to them or have a dream of what they would like to do or places they would like to go?

So if you are normally shy then this is the time to come out of your shell.

[scott&ligaya]

Well done on the bone marrow i heard its painful:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Wow you were actually there on the beach just before it hit Bali? When it hit where on the island where you??

You are the first person i have chatted with to be near where it hit, frightening!!

[scott&ligaya]

I was actually up the hill a couple of hundred yards in Starbucks. Bali was not too crazy comopared to Aceh and other areas but still a very unnerving experience. Later that day I spoke to some divers who were in the ocean at the time and ended up nearly a mile from their dive boat but all okay.
