    I remember when I was about 11 being in the studio in RTE for a Saturday morning children's programme called 'TX'. In the studio they'd have a load of kids sitting up behind the couch where they'd interview guests. I remember the boyband of the day OTT being on the programme that day(this was around 1996 or 1997). I also remember briefly appearing on some other show having been recorded singing 'Wonderwall' for about 10 seconds with one of my other dumbass mates in a shopping centre in Athlone.

    So, whether it was standing behind your county's GAA manager after a game staring down the camera like a tool, or being led out of the Special Criminal Court with a copy of The Sun covering your face, have you ever been on TV??

    I was in the audience for a Jason Byrne gig being filmed for a series on RTE.

    It screams funny already amiright????

    I have a horribly obnoxious loud cackle/snort for a laugh. So of course he starts taking the piss out of me. My parents still have it at home :(

    No it's sports related not sure which program yet but all i know is it's about a 5minute slot.

    If i was ever on that Tallfornia show i'd shamefully leave my house and burn all my belongings and just fade away into the background forever never to be seen again, unless you have sky record well then you could see me pretty much anytime you want!

    Yes, but not in Ireland yet.

    Biggest audience, I guess, during a Championsleague match, I was waving one of those gigantic flags on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund's stadium five minutes before the match started.

    I have a deeply repressed memory..
    When I was in 5th class we all had to be those eejits for one of the Beo go Deo Irish religious videos (if anyone is familiar with them). I didn't know if this counts, but I still have the video at home and it's damn shameful.

    Thankfully though, I have no VCR to view it anymore :pac:

    Years ago there was a fire on O'Connell Street, Dublin ( Burger King I think ) . I was one of the onlookers and I started waving at the news camera. I was on the mitch from school that day, so I was ****ting myself watching the news that evening as I was convinced my parents would notice me waving in the backround. Luckily, they didn't.
