I was a bit of a decent actor when I was younger. Ended up on the Den in 2001 promoting a play I was in at the time. Met the puppeteers that do Dustin and Socky. Lovely bunch of guys.

A little later, I starred in a short film with Tom Hickey (of The Riordans fame) Probably better known for his role in that cracking good club orange ad. youtube link here. Didn't think much about it until I went to see Intermission in the cinema, and it popped up on the big screen as one of those short films they used to throw in before the feature film started.

Fair play, that first post was worth the wait

Say "Yore Ma" to Marty Whelan while keeping a straight face and your fame will increase ten-fold. Blast him with piss, you'll live forever.

I was on Jo Maxi back in the 80s when she visited Bunratty Castle.

Samantha Mumba asked me for a lift home from Old Wesley one night back in the 90's. She was in floods of tears, claiming somebody had been following her all night while trying to stick his finger in her butt.

Last September I spent four weeks fighting Microsoft after they banned me off their network, without any reason given. I took abuse from every fanboy and keyboard warrior on several different forums, stating how Microsoft don't make mistakes. To cut a very long story short, I was right and they where wrong, after a TV programme in England exposed there actions, and Microsoft had to changed their story. Couple weeks later it was all's forgotten and back to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

I was in London and I just came from an Italian master sculpture exhibition and I was amazed at them and it gave me a kind of wonderment and a hi which lingered with me as I left the museum.

I was hungry so I seen a Planet Hollywood restaurant and without noticing I made my way through the crowd and told the security "excuse me yeah you, you are locking my way" and in I went. But in there Bruce Willis, Demi, Sylvester Stallone, were all sipping champers, and i realised I shouldn't be there, so 2 rather large chaps came over to me asked was I invited, I said something like no, "I just want a burger" they escorted me out the back.

I actually made my way through the press in a nonchalant way without noticing, I never would have got away with it if i was actually concious of what I was doing.

Locked horns with Cesc Fabregas at international level in the qualifiers to the under 17 world cup in 2002.

David Silva was also playing, but Fabregas was the man really.

Oh and by locking horns I mean chasing shadows for 60 minutes before being subbed

Was in the choir for Sunday Mass on RTE. Twice.

I won an All Ireland table quiz in Mosney when I was in 6th class, with what was the highest score at that time. :cool:
