When I was about 9 I was on a television programme for granada reports about rugby, we was sent along to our local rugby ground and trained for the day. I was asked on television what I thought about the sport to which I replied 'I would of preferred to go to the zoo'. Then someone asked me 'I'm sure you can go there another time, and I replied with 'I doubt it, we only got to come here because it's going to be on television'.


It was edited though and never seen television! all you seen was me talking with no sound, and someone said 'We asked one boy how impressed he was and he said he doesen't want to go home' or words to the same effect, it was a while ago now.

And my head master proper took off on me, ragged me into the school van. Your taught to tell the truth, but telling lies is fine when it benfits the school.

They read a text out of mine on Sky News a while back when there was the hoo har about the Davinci Code and the bible and they had a couple of weird people arguing about it all. I text in saying "Who cares they both belong in the fiction section of your local friendly book store" And they read it out

I worked as an extra on Stanley Kubrick's 'Eyes wide shut'. You'll not see me though, I was one of the ones wearing the fancy mask.

Was quality, SUPERB money and treated really well. Stood 2 feet from Tom Cruise and walked past Nicole Kidman and didn't even realise it was her!!

I remember when me and my mate were in Chelmsford high st a good few years ago. Was when Austin Powers had just come out and we were about 10 or so. Some film crew there from ITV or somewhere was doing a review and they were asking people to do impressions of Austin himself.

Anyway after a good argument between me and mate about who was gonna do it, I finally won and let him go for it.

Oh my god, I can still hear it now

"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Baby"

I have been on a few times when Nottingham Forest have been on TV, for some reason I always get a mug shot on the TV. Also been on at an England cricket match at Trent Bridge, me and my mate were going back to our seats with 4 pints a piece in our hands and I got told the commentator said ''well it looks like them 2 are enjoying themselves!"

Supposed to be going on Soccer AM for Forest fans in the Stand this weekend but not now.

Also on the local news coming out of court

I was on the Cook report when one of his programs was about the beer smuggling
He had one of his Reporters with a hiden Camera come into our office and bought a pallet of Stella
I thought it was kinda odd when i loaded the pallet onto his van in shrink as all the other "runners" used to hand stack it so it didnt look so much.

It was not until a couple of weeks later when it was on telly and i could be clearly seen counting the money and driving the forklift truck with said stella out to the "customers" van

All my close friends knew were i worked and what i done but i still fcuk'd of to Spain for a few weeks to let the dust settle

Even after i came back i still had people coming up to me and saying " I saw you on the telly" blar blar blar

Went to see a friend a few months later at a Garage 20 miles away in Mitcham when this pickup drove past and it turned out to be one of the local "Travelers" who hung out of his window and shouted " Hows it going Bruv "

Sister had Customs watching her house and i used to spent quite a time in the "sheds" at Dover having my car x-rayed every time i went through to work

Shuttle was just as bad if not worse because as you come out of the French Customs shed, you drive in a straight line about 100 yards straight into the English Customs Sheds. Well thats what i used to do every 2 weeks anyway

I was so used to it i used to have 2 fags rolled ready, one for each "pull"
