    I've had hours of fame. It's massively over-rated.

    You pissed yourself in your sleep, congratulations sir, that is some achievement. does modern science know about this, you should be captured and studied for all to see and for them to shoot probes up you and take data from, that kind of thing.

    It seems to be the same every time for me, another thread I can not partake in as I only had 13 minutes of fame.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    no, and I dont want it

    I'd rather just have the money thanks :)

    Yeah

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I was on the news in New Zealand during the rugby world cup in 2011.

    very well behaved, too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Not had it and never want it tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    I did a quick review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine on TG4, and appeared somewhat prominently in a documentary on Japanese television.

    And there was that post I did that got all those thanks, that was probably all over the papers.

    What did you do ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,127 ✭✭✭ZombieBride


    Yes, and it's not all it's cracked up to be. Being a no one is so much freer than everyone knowing your name.

    I've been shown on TV in the crowd at Ireland games. Twice. Yep that's right ladies, two times.

    My 'Claim to Fame' though is that I once solved the number puzzle on Countdown when Rachel couldn't. I do realise Carol would be more impressive but I never managed to beat her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,760 ✭✭✭summerskin


    Yep, had it just over 20 years ago and it lasted a few months back home. Was not a nice experience at all.


    Other than the sex with gorgeous girls, and their sisters, which came with alarming regularity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭purplegeko


    I was on the phone on the Den when i was in second class and sang a song - Swing Low Sweet Chariot (much to my embarrassment)

    I also appeared on the winning team on an episode of Saturday morning classic kids gameshow "PHYSIQUIZ" we won a walkman

    A photo of me appeared in a match programme for an All Ireland semi final.

    Yep and it wasn't fun. I fupping hate the press. There's a lot to be said for anonymity.

    Where's your man who shlipped on the ice in that RTE news report a couple of years ago? Show yourself!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 13,166 Mod ✭✭✭✭iamstop


    I once made a comment on Jenny Jones before that made it to air.

    It was a show about 'my mom parties too hard' or something. Once woman large-ish came out wearing a shiny silver dress giving it loads.

    I stood up and said into the mic in a dead pan, albiet Irish accent "The one in the silver looks like a broke down disco ball!"

    I expected to just sit down and be done with it but to my bemusement there were people two and three rows ahead and behind me wanting to high five me.

    Up to 3 or four months later, still living in Chicago, people would ask me if I was in the audience of Jenny Jones. Never been able to find the episode though. :-/

    I had about 5 seconds of fame in being in the background of the RTE programme on the RAS two years ago. I looked like such a tool :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭bluecode


    I must have done over 50 movies and TV programmes as an extra and occasional acting and I've never had any fame at all. In one film I was all over it right throughout the movie. One person texted me to say she saw me. That was it. I even did an ad once which was repeated endlessly on various channels. No one ever recognised me. :(

    I'm all over Youtube as well for my other job. Literally hundreds of videos. Nothing.

    Seriously, I'm going to have to shoot someone for my fifteen minutes. ;)

    On the other hand, a couple of friends got more than their fifteen minutes recently. Headlines and featured on the News. Getting killed though is probably not my favoured method. So maybe it's not such a bad thing.

    no not yet but im getting sick of waiting:o:pac:

    I was stupid enough to go on a show on RTE about 7 years ago and the ***** still repeat it at odd times like 4am on a tuesday night a few times a year. Still get slagged about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 751 ✭✭✭travis1976


    Sang for Dave Fanning in a Singstar competition on 2fm a few years back. Got through to the final too...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭9959


    Not yet.:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭Sofaspud


    I got a joke printed in the beano!

    And a TG4 documentary on Electric Picnic a few years ago had a close up of me laughing at an Irish stand-up for a few seconds.

    Must've been the only shot they could find.

    Thank you, I'm here all night!
