    Have any of you got anything you're particularly well known for? Or have any of you appeared in any newspapers, magazines or on television? Or are you well known in your area for something you've done?:)

    No claims to fame, is my claim to fame

    I never had my 15 minutes, never wanted it either.

    I did an interview with the New York Times magazine a few months ago. I feel very proud of it.

    I once represetned Ireland on at under-19 at an international level.

    I'm not saying what at, though.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    So did a whole bunch of paedohiles, murderers and gang criminals in general - that's not a claim to fame!

    Back in the early 90's I worked for a sightseeing tour bus firm in london, was working on the south side of Trafalgar Square one afternoon when my radio informed me that I had people on their way to use my bus for a photo shoot, 2 mins later 3 black limo's pull up and out step's Pandora surrounded by security ( anyone who's not familiar with Pandora, well she was the mother of all American topless models who had the biggest **** anyone had ever seen.) Had my pic took with her on the top deck of the bus and it was published in The Sun newspaper. I sent a copy to my dad over here who had it positioned pride of place in his pub for years, he and all the locals loved it........though not as much as I did when it was taken...:D

    I don't know Ikky Poo2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I don't know Ikky Poo2.

    Oh, you know who I am. You just don't know that you know who I am. And you know that... Wait - was there supposed to be a comma in there? Because I'm not sure...

    I'm known locally for getting caught with a hooker when I was 16, while on a school tour. For years after, every time I met the local priest he would just shake his head and look away in disgust. Cnut should have practiced what he preached. He's more famous than I am now. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I was on the front page of the local rag (with a large circulation, in fairness) when I was like 10, for being on some CBBC show.
