    My brother was deeply attached to a newsreader (Kate Smith or something)

    Would always be sticking his soother (pacifier/dummy etc) on the TV screen to try and cheer her up.

    I remember thinking Pierce Brosnan was the sh!t when I was a kid. Spend hours playing/watching Goldeneye.

    I didn't start loving celebrities until I was 12, but that was only 5 years ago. I had 2 heroes then, Louis Walsh and James May. I still love them both

    That is the cutest thing I've ever heard.:pac:

    I was obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog. Used to be counting down the minutes until the cartoon came on every afternoon. One time my ma informed me that I wouldn't be allowed to watch it because I hadn't tidied my room...nearly died. :eek:

    While i will live to regret this...


    Michael Knight.

    "Knight Rider - A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist."

    "Michael Knight, A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law."

    That was me on me BMX belting around the backroads of rural Monaghan.

    Classic stuff.
