ack-ack Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 thats because he is a first class bell end. Young lad of GoFishing show: "how much are the caps Mr Hayes?" *** jockey :"they are £xxx for the cap, and another £10 if you want me to sign it!" poor kid walked off without the cap. Funny you should mention that. Whilst I was laid up during the winter I got quite into Quest TV channel in the evenings. It took a bit of getting into as it was a very amateur production but I did start to dig Matt Hayes. I was enjoying American Hotrod also (being a bit of a resto-man) so much so that I felt compelled to go online and find out whether Boyd Coddington garage was still going. Transpires that he'd died a few years back. Whilst I was at it I thought I'd see if Matt Hayes was still alive as I'd never seen a programme that was less than 10 years old. He had his own website and on it he was flogging cheesey soft focus portraits of his self for £15!!!!! I would have been less dissappointed if I'd found out that he'd joined Coddington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glensman Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Martin and Gerry? Just shows you what sort of person you are when you consider murdering terroists famous. Gerry Adams was an MP and is now a TD. Martin McGuinness is Deputy First Minister of NI I would definately have rated them as well-known?! On the other hand, your famous people are Lenny Murphy and Michael Stone. I'll leave Google/Wikipedia to tell people who they are, I probably couldn't do them justice.

NickS Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I am completely useless at celebrity-spotting. I was sat with a couple of women at a film launch who asked me what my involvement was - I explained that I was there as 'Mr Janet' as it was my wife's job that got us there. I returned the question and they explained that they were 'in television'. Turned out they were Trinny and Suzannah. Still wouldn't know them if they were in the same room as me again. My wife answered a knock on the door from a guy asking directions to a local but discreet recording studios. She didn't recognise Robbie Williams. I regard that as a bigger fail since she has several of his albums. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Friends mum in law and her hubby were playing golf somewhere in Europe and they were on a green when a ball nearly took their heads off. Two young chaps came up and profusely apologised and offered to buy the drink back at the 19th hole. Said mother-in-law thought she recognised one of them and asked if he was into football as she was a keen supporter of our local team. "Yes" he replied but I am a Port Vale supporter . It was only then she realised it was Robbie Williams and Max Beesley . pretty much like NickS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
