That and you're actually on TV, right?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah, well... it's not like i get asked for autographs or anything. just the odd, rare, person that says hi to me cause they know my face from somewhere, but theeir not sure from where, so they assume they know me... and i always say hi back just incase i'm being egotistical and actually know them from somewhere...

there's only like 10k viewers... i should move to iceland. i'd be a superstar!!!

actually icey... how old is Björks son...? i thought he was like 3 or something...

[Chyld]

That's still hell more TV time than I have!

[srmoore]

Well.. I hate to actually admit this.. but I'm realated to the person Flanders (From the simpsons) is based off of. (I'm also related to someone who works on the Simpsons.. hehe go figure. There is actually a long story about that, which I won't get into.)

Bjork's son, Sindri, is about 20. I once met him and his (ex?)boyfriend on a bus on my way to see Fahrenheit 911 where he talked about how easy it is to mess with kids minds, so now I also know his unknown sexual orientation and how his relatives used to lie to him when he was a child. Score.

He's currently abroad as an exchange student living with some hippy guitar teacher.

If it counts for anything, I was ignored by the President of Georgia once. Yeah, a President. Take that.

I've met Kelly Holmes, my friend knows the guy that makes Little Brittain, my nan has met Dane Judy Dench, my aunt has met the Queen & Prince Philip, and I think that is about it. No wait, I was on Ready, Steady, Cook once. Oh, I met the drummer from The Who, erm thats more I can't think right now though.

[Icey]

I just have no idea, I'm afraid... Can't remember how old Björk is, think she's 36 or 37... So that puts her in a time frame similiar to my girlfriend.

But yeah, she is very very cute... and eerily girlish.

I work at the major football oval for our city. As Australia hosted the Rugby Word Cup(in 2003?)we got a few games. At one of them the President of Georgia came through(I was working at the media gate, and Georgia were playing). I said goodevening, and he ignored me. I proceeded to barrack for the other team. The rude bastard.

I'm going to the foreign office as part of some debate thingy, assuming I pass the security checks. I may declare myself dictor of Britian while I'm there, technically I can, and if no-one tries to stop me, technically I become Prime Minister.

According to the illustrious IMDB, Bjork was born in 1965, her son was born in 1986, and her daughter was born in 2002. So, everybody wins!

I was a child expert on Canada AM when I was nine when they had me on to discuss what I thought about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I distinguished myself by a) telling the panel airly that children OF COURSE could tell the difference between cartoon-sstyle violence and real violence (this statement I had picked up in reading the newspaper) and also for being caught on camera staring in horror and wonder at the television critic sitting next to me (he had a long dangly earring, I thought it was weird.)

ah... i must have seen her with her daughter... that explains everything!!!

Jen, your story reminded me of a few things i forgot about from my childhood...
my two TV apearances in my youth...

1. having a snowball fight in 1985/6 out the front of a balmain pup after a truck inexplicably dumped, literally, a truckload of snow on the footpath infront of it.
i was quite chuffed that school friends saw me on the news. although having been 9/10 yrs old at the time... i think they were more impressed that i was at a pub.
(i think it was there for some football related thing, but my friend and i used to go there alot because we found old people really entertaining when they were drunk, and used to sit through drunken lectures on how to play football, fight, and some vague political stuff i was too young to understand.)

actually... now that i think about it... why the hell were people letting kids hang out in their pubs??? that's the 80s for you...

2. i was in a video arcade when i was ambushed by a magician and camera crew, he did a few tricks to impress me, i was a little distracted by my wasted $2.00 (which was alot of money back in ye olde day of our lord: 1993AD) in a sit-in video game in which i had to be twisted uncomfortably around to pick a card, any card. the worse thing was, i was in my school uniform, and it was during school hours. being a private school, we were'nt alowwed to go anywhere on the way home from shcool, in uniform, let alone be in a video arcade at 2pm.
it played on a late night (10:30pm) news program. one teacher saw, but he didn't dob me in.

3. my father was on television a couple of times in the early 80s which made me popoular in school... once on the news for some story about imported rugs as he did that on the side, and another time on an add for a famous car dealer... i can't think of the guys name but it you grew up in sydney (or NSW) in the early 80s you know who i'm talking about...
