Wouldn't it be cool if Sprocket was related to the Bishop of Cork(The greyhound from Glenroe)??

I once managed to coerce a duck that was owned by Mel Brooks into stealing some bread for me out of a Subway sandwich shop in Miami.

He was later arrested, roasted and eaten with orange sauce.

Well, I once met Evander Hollyfield in a pub, I offered him a pint, but he said "its ok I've one ear!"

JCDUB · 07-01-2011 12:15PM

Hmmm, once I met a decidedly arrogant and decidedly unimpressive Henry Shefflin in a very famous establishment in Kilkenny.

He was acting like an arrogant juvenile secondary school jock trying to impress his friends by shouting for service at the bar and generally being rude.

So I told him I'd like a photo, got him to line up and pose with his friends, and then took out my cigarette box, held it up like a camera and clicked my lighter beside it for the flash.

It took him a while to realise what was going on, but when his friends and others pissed themselves laughing at him he eventually copped it and became suitably embarrassed. Not too bright is our Henry..

Hate to tell you - you aint related to the Tylers. Someone related to you is related by marriage in a far distant kind of way to someone who is in fact still not related as they are a step dad.

Try again.:)

FreudianSlippers · 07-01-2011 12:44PM

I was in an ad once when I was a teenager and living in the US.

It was for tyres and they made me act like a total bollox. BTW it was around the time of the first Fast and Furious film... so you could imagine what it was like
