Was watching the news the other day
and saw one of my form on tele. By my form, i mean, i was their form prefect...to me theyre all about 14.

Anyhow, hes playing for Middlesborough it seems, i didnt realise he was old enough for that.People probably arent aware of him like, James Morrison (or mozza as he was at school)

I like to think that my fantastic prefecting skills aided him in his rise to the fame :)

don't request songs when you're sick.
I was deadly sick with mono AND a horrible case of bronchitis a few years ago, and couldn't sleep. So I lay curled up on the couch at 7 am listening to my favourite radio station morning show; then figured "hey, I can call in and request a song!" So I did.

Didn't go so hot; the one DJ didn't understand me when I said my name was Meg, and thought I had said Neg... then got pissy when I corrected him. He then told me I sounded like a boy, to which I got upset and hung up and wrote a nasty email to them after stewing over it.

An hour after the morning show ended, the second DJ (not the one who insulted me), phoned my house to apologize for his partner being an ass and hurting my feelings.

If anyone is interested, the insulting asshole is Daryn Jones, who is now on his last season with a horrid TV show called "Buzz" here in Canada. The nice DJ is Jay (Maddog) who now works for CHFI 98.1 in Toronto.

(I also once called a radio station and left a five minute rambling message on their request line voicemail, which they played on the air the next day and laughed about it. I was tired and had a friend over at the time, and was quite happy to talk to a radio station answering machine about jello.)

Chimpy the Emperor's motorcade raced past, but he never saw me: G.W. Bush was waving out his right-hand window, and I was waving a banana off to the left.

Shook hands once with Jimmy Carter, though. Carter draped his arm across the shoulders of a pretty woman at a campaign stop, back in the day when he 'lusted in his heart.'

Brushes with fame
My dad was at separate press confrence-y things for Prince Charles and Bill Clinton when they came to LA many, many years ago, and has the pictures (somewhere) to prove it.

I saw American Idiot, er, Idol judge Paula Abdul at Honolulu Int'l. airport when she was still famous for singing (so it was a looooooong time ago); I'd also met ice skater Michelle Kwann whilst she was ice skating.

My most recent brush with fame was when I went to Las Vegas last Dec. for my birthday. I was walking around the giant mall at Cesar's Palace when suddenly there was a massive crowd gathered around a store, blocking almost the entire hallway. I asked a security guard what was going on and he said that Britney Spears was shopping in there. It turns out that was when she (in)famouly got married for half a day! I didn't see her, which was fine by me - it's rude to shut down stores and cause fire hazards.

ooooh I thought of two more

I was once on Headbangers Ball on MTV

and

one time when watching the 10pm news during a report about a riot outside Forest Gate police station I saw myself going past on an 86 bus on my way home from work.

That's it, I've finished.

Claims to Fame
I once served Linda Nolan in a clothes shop [ only suspected it was THE Linda Nolan when she paid by cheque and couldn't be sure until she was on Summer Time Special on the following Saturday wearing the outfit I'd sold her in Etams, just think of what sort of opportunities at of a showbiz break I might have lost by not being more Nolan aware ]

Steve Norris said I'm a very well balanced, intelligent, reasonable, and thoroughly nice lady . On national radio!

I wanna live forever... I wanna learn how to fly
I once bet my Dad to knock on Patrick Moore's house in Selsey, Nr Brighton. Being a loon, he walked straight in. Two minutes later, the starry legend called me into his living room. We had a cup of tea, spoke about some robot on Mars, watched some of the 1997 Ashses and he gave us a tour of his telescopes. But didn't play the Xylophone.

He's really tall in real life. A giant, in fact.

My Dad was also once beaten up by Ray Davies of popular 60's beat combo The Kinks. The cunt.

Paul Furlong, the rubbish 90's Chelsea footballer, lived just round the corner from us in Wood Green before he was famous.

My Brother claims to have gone to school with Deanna Troy from Star Trek, but that may be a lie.

My mate was in a band who had a video on MTV2, but he got arsey, so they threw him out.

I stared at Charlotte Church's tits in Cardiff's Sainsbury's whilst she brought Menthol Superkings. They are bigger than you think, but she looks dirty. The type of girl who sleeps in her make-up.

DJ Spoony asked me where he could get his shoes fixed just before last years FA Cup Final. I pointed in what turned out to be the completly wrong direction. Sorry.

Christ on a Segway, that's quite a lot of boring tales.

-FIN-

Claim to teh fame 2...
Almost forgot - I did beta testing on a game called 'Breed' that came out in 2004. Unfortunately, the game is crap. It was all going well until the publishers brought in their own beta testing squad, who basically ripped apart all our good work and tried to make the game so easy a 3 year old could complete it.

I did get credited in the instruction manual though. :)
