I was in the newspaper when I was a kid, I fell off a big slide and hurt myself badly, which explains the slowness ;)lol
Also I cant remember how old I was but I was still in primary school, Tony Blair and the French prime minister at the time came to my village (Tony Blair had a house here and was the something for the area) and me and my sister were asked to do a 10 minute play for the french prime minister, we were told what to say in french. I can still remember all the TV cameras (not that I knew what they were there for) and it appeared on the news.
sorry guin!

lollol cant blame him lynz, he'll be on rations:d at his age
Well I guess my claim to fame would be that my best mate when I lived in Blackpool was the now very famous Jonas Armstrong AKA Robin Hood !
I can't really go into what sort of things happened back then but I was massively shocked when I heard his name mentioned on the tv !
One fond memory I have was he last day of school before we broke up for Christmas, we were all messing about in hallway at school near some double doors, as we all came bundling through it and they swung back Jonas swung the door back straight into my face !!
Thankfully I only had a broken nose and 2 black eyes for Christmas ! Obviously he didn't mean to do it, it was simply bad timing.... for me anyway !
Anyway I left Blackpool in 1995 but hadn't seen Jonas for maybe 5 or so years at that point, in 1998 I went to Cream's 6th birthday for my 18th and whilst standing at the bar a Irish fella came over and it was him !
How odd that years later we end up being into the same music and were going through equally mad times in our lives !
