Just depends what you mean by 15 minutes of fame Shaz, I once Refereed a pool match on ITV Saturday afternoon sport program and have been on the box on numerous occasions

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

I've just read the article Shaz the guy in question has been on TV before he was on Blind Date some years ago, he has a mate on Mallard and I see him quite often

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Jonathan's been on quite a few programmes.

Blankety- Blank, Family Fortunes, and that thing in the jungle, were they called him Mr Tango, and they do an assault course.

Although he would have been brilliant on it, I'm fairly sure he was never on Blind Date.

Apparently one of the cameramen said this is one of the funniest Come Dine With Me, ever.

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

About the blind date thing G it sticks in my mind because i'm near sure it was in the local paper, because at the time he had a girlfriend, although he didn't get picked on the night, might be wrong, but I think it was the same guy because cilla commented on his permatan

There are some media tarts out there & if that's what does it for them well that's just fine. The problem is when it becomes an obsession & people feel it is their right to be in the limelight & I personally tend to find it rather cringeworthy, especially when they're being embarrassing & making fools of themselves.

This is most noticeable in these make me famous talent shows ? Or the gut wrenching drivel some channels are churning out & classing as entertainment showing teenagers with attitudes & ideas about their own importance & total disrespect for those who would nurture & form them ? Then of course those abject failures at whatever they attempt who then have to get a superwhateverist to show them how it's done ? The TV, assisted by overbearing & interfering Governments have managed in the last 20 odd years to turn a large number of the once self assured, can do, independent thinking, British Public into what you see daily on the gormless box ! It really is such a depressing state.

That said, apparently I was once on the news, I didn't see it myself as I was sat in an APC in the Iraqi desert at the time the footage was taken & then later shown. :rolleyes:

been on bbc news and many years ago granada had a local tv programme on mondays one at 3.30pm and the other at 6pm .. was on that as well ...

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Been interviewed on television quite a few times, prattling on about fashion.

Last appearance Granada Reports. A dramatic role, playing a fat Biggins with Parkinson's disease.

:D

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Would never apply to programmes, just to fulfil some exhibitionist yearning, though I would like to test myself on Mastermind, as I love the programme, and am not too bad at General Knowledge.

Looks like it wasn't a great experience for one of them, he would rather go to Afghanistan :D

This could be better than the local kiddie fiddlin' monkey winning the Weakest Link.

"Jonny, have you been on the sunbed again?" Sue asks the even-more-orange Jez. The evening ends in Jonny style, with a twin snog for Carol and a session in the hot tub.
"Sue and I have exchanged numbers, and I've got Jonny's just in case," says Carol.

The only time I've seen him keep his clothes on all night was at his wedding.

Looks like he'll be in the plum duff here too.

:D

Have you ever seen a more uncouth, bad mannered woman. No wonder the people of Padiham voted for her :D

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Just laughing about her on FB, with your better half.

Padiham must be very proud.

A farting, burping Mayoress, who was slipped the tongue, by Ossy's own, Sunbed Jonny.

Cringe makingly hilarious.

We was robbed.

Mr Tango's prawn ring was a winner.

:D

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

PMSL It's made national headlines.

Mayoress, 68, eats a toyboy on Come Dine With Me | The Sun |Showbiz|TV

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

'...the Mayoress of Padiham, Mrs. Carol Stinton JP, came along to help celebrate the event.'

Clear the court!

The Magistrate wants to let one rip.

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Lol.

Pity the people that missed it.

Though how they got away with a twins/MILF three way, before the watershed, is a mystery.

:eek::D:eek:

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

thats gotta be the worst come dine with me i've ever seen, what a shambles

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Well it did not have much to do with cooking did it:D

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

i watched it with my hands over my eyes, occasionally peeping through my fingers

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Talk about promoting the area if this is so then the area has gone down 20 points after watching that mess
I have watched a lot of "come dine with me" but this was the worst one i have ever seen:(

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

exactly Mick, he was an utter embarrasment

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Come Dine With Me isn't a cookery show. You only have to listen to the voice over guy to realise that. It's a freak show.

East Lancashire has some of the best freaks in the country.

The farting mayoress, the uptight BNP supporting plumber, the orange 'n' sleazy Teasy-Weasy.

It was never going to be Master Chef.

Freaky.

Cringeworthy.

Hilarious.

Happily I'm someone who doesn't pigeonhole people who happen to share a geographical location.

Which means I can still proudly state where I come from.

Freak out.

:D

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

I dont watch this programme but I was intrigued when I saw the name - Carole Stinton, and watched on 4OD.(just her bit at the beginning)

I know this woman - when I lived in Higham(1967 - 71) she was a barmaid in the 'local' I used in Padiham. Her husband was a brummie and she had 3 (or maybe it was 4) little lads. We went twice to the spiritualist church together, because both of us were curious about that sort of thing.

She was a popular, warm, generous natured woman, - good to see she hasn't changed a bit. Watching her as she is now was very amusing - I think that she was 'extracting the urine' out of this pretentious programme. It is the sort of thing she would do.

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

The only pretence is that it's a programme about cooking.

It's car crash comedy.

Every programme is cast with disparate people, they hope won't get on.

Though the Mayoress seemed to get on with at least one other person, and his twin, when she had both their tongue sandwiches down her throat at the same time.

:D

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

On further reflection - does Carole remind you of Victoria Wood, as she was in Acorn Antiques. (she likely intended you to ;))


(PS - so the joke is on you for taking it seriously)

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

I think she seemed good fun.

I liked her.

Though I wouldn't like to hear her fart, or have her belch in my face, if l was tucking into my tea.

Life's short.

I much prefer people that spend that life laughing, rather than spending their time on this mortal coil being buttock clenchingly uptight.

Though the Mayoress probably could do with a few yoga exercises, so she had a little more sphincter control, for those times when letting rip isn't such a good idea.

:D

You not invited G:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Ditto..........by far the worst i have ever seen...as far as i`m concerned...all jonnies should be tied around the neck and disposed of hygieinically.(in a bin, not down the toilet)

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

lol

Re: 15 minutes of fame (or thereabouts)
 

Some soft sap television producer would be after putting Pipinfart, Fleshy, naggy Maggie, and myself round a dinner table. Hoping there'd be disagreements, and fireworks, before the horse doofers had even been served. In order to rival last night's feast of freakishness.

They'd be disappointed.

We'd get on like a house on fire.

The other three would come to a civilised decision that my black pudding ice-cream had been a triumph, and make me the winner, and we'd all go home happy.

Unlike the programme makers. Who'd been hoping for some more Lancastrian culinary carnage.

:D

I was introduced to the Premier of South Australia some years ago,when he visited our workshop.
What do you do around here, says he
As little as possible says i
Me too says my mate
He gave us a blank stare and walked away, and a voice from behind shouted out .
JUST LIKE YOU BASTARDS!
