Remove all ads!

I am a very proud daughter and sister!

Go to www.poolefsc.freeserve.co.uk and look for pictures. There will be a picture of my brother Alex Welch with the Poole Borough footy team as he was a mascot and he got his ball signed!!

Also, my dad (Mike Welch) works for Poole Borough, so look out for him too.

BTW, my brother has light brown hair, a silly grin and is rather small...He's crouching down.

Have you ever had a famous encounter before? Feel free to tell me about it.

Um, that is a bad gateway, right now.

 

I fixed it. here

*A toast from Yoda and I, to your family Teensabre*

 

*applauds* How exciting! You guys are celebrities now. Soon you'll be off to Hollywood shooting a major motion picture based on your life and you'll forget all about us *sniffsniff*

 

My Grandad - Pablo King was in a newspaper shown with the queen inspecting the horses. he was also a friend of the Queen Mother

I've been on a video of 'Alice in Wonderland' and been in the papers twice - once for Victorian day when our class was dressed up, once when I was singing in a show. I also used to write poetry that was put in the church newletters

Congrats TeenyS

 

Yes, first you get famous, then you and your family will sell yourseves to hollywood, forgeting all about Whatnots, then fortune, then misery, but when you come back here sad and poor the forum might not be here anymore, and you'll be like "oh, god, what have I done!?"
I've seen it happen...

(by the way, new gem! Yupiiiiiii! hehe)

I got on the tely twice!! YAY!!
too bad nobody watched, and the ones who did didn´t recognised me

 

I was on TV, however briefly, on the night of the execution of Terry Something-or-other, the 1st execution in NM for 40-ish years. We also didn't get recognized by many people, but what the heck!

We also met quite a few newscasters from KOAT, like in the mall or wherever.

My mom and dad were good friends w/ Governor Johnson, too.

i was in CNN when Americans attacked or saved, whatever you like to put, my country.

 

Inre: ever been famous?
Audrey Hepbern told me she had saved a violin string of mine as a momento of our making music together.

And I will be on TV again soon, when the SF symphony movie with Micheal Tilson Thomas gets aired.

I could go on but I feel like I am bragging, which is an unpleasant thing...

 

I haven't met anyone near famous, but my dad shook hands with Brian Mulroney (former prime minister of Canada) before he was a prime minister, and met the lead singer of Oasis in Spain, although he didn't know it. So no autograph

 

My mother was with her friends and she ran up to this famous ballet dancer as he was about to get into a taxi - he said "Ah Hello!" Thinking they wanted an autograph but they got into his taxia and drove off

 

When I fenced I had my picture in the local paper a few times, and I got to play-fence with the mascot for the local baseball team. I also got to meet the star relief-pitcher from the same team and even wear his World Series ring for a few minutes. Several years later I saw him on an airplane and he remembered me! He gave me a ride home from the airport, carried my luggage into the house, and offered to share a joint.

 

A few minutes explaining and discussing the operation of a particular piece of military equipment with two nigerian Generals who later ended up taking over Nigeria in a military coup.

Yeah, what can I say. They appeared friendly and harmless. I was young and ambitous...

Oh yeah, I had lunch in the same tent as the Commander of the Chinese Army once.

Taza, Virne and other Finns here probably remember that big to-doo about those kids who ran away from the group home and killed the worker on their way here in Finland some time ago?

I am currently rooming with one of them.

Get out, either you have been around during 50s ~ 60s or this will be not possible. The chief commander of PLA is at least the second most powerful person in PROC, he would have lunch with anyone in a tent even if it is the Mao's spirit. (Absolute power = Absolute corruption)

If you are talking about Taiwan (ROC) then that might be convincing.

 

Nope teekc, it actually was The Commander of the PLA. It was a very big deal for all involved.
He was visiting Sweden and I was part of a group of officers who demonstrated a swedish howitzer. Naturally he was accompanied by the swedish Supreme Commander (ÖB) and I didn't get closer than maybe 10 meters to him. Afterwards lunch was served in a (very big) tent. I didn't say I ate at the same table.

Btw, this was around '85.

 

DOH!
Just now I realized you are not an eager learning, streetwise sweedish Teen with too much time to play BG2.

*Grumbles on how I could miss that for two years*

Sorry man. After all we've been through Earl, with Gloin Bonehead and Retsnimble. Dang I feel bad.
