Claims to Fame

[Bigbadwulf07]

Met Linda Lusardi once in a Telford computer company. I was having some repair done, she was having a webpage built.

Not sure it’s entirely a claim to fame, but I’m kinda working on this:

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Hmmm, I mean anythings possible but why would you build like that

 

[Kenny]

Yeah Tredders, what you playing at?

 

[Tredman]

I’m mainly playing at extracting money from them

It’s partly marketing - but it’s an interesting concept. The desert and lack of water drives different solutions, good to see Neom are actually approaching it from a different angle.

Respect. Carry on

It's interesting, looks like a way or raising a load of money off investors before they dissappear off into the sunset

Afaik its all funded by the Saudi government. They have the idea of being the next city to follow the Singapore -> Dubai template.

I met her many years ago and she was lovely. Very smiley and chatty

I had a chat with Ole Gunnar Solskjear at a Starbek-Molde game in Oslo. He walked out pre-match to inspect the field and my son was too shy to ask for an autograph so I took his ticket down and asked for him. Ended up chatting with Ole for a good ten minutes (he obviously wasn't too concerned about the game). Stale Solbakken had just been appointed for us and he assured me it would be a great success and that he would work wonders.

I took my kids to the Mol from Norway for Stale's first match (a friendly I think, not sure) and he came over after the match to sign autographs and was totally stumped when my kids started talking to him in Norwegian! The look on his face was hilarious, didn't know what to say!

Bumped into him again on a flight from Copenhagen to Oslo later on after he had been sacked and we ended up having a decent chat - he was totally sanguine about the whole Wolves episode, was a really genuine and decent man.

Some successful Norwegians are pretty humble I have to say. Except Jon Arne Riise who shopped in my local supermarket in Oslo with his tarty plastic Barby wanna be girlfriend (should have seen the swollen lips on that!)... He came across as an arrogant twat (an opinion before i get sued...)...

Gingers mate, should never trust them, regardless of nationality

Looking forward to that man. Loved the series.

Surprised to see I seem to have missed one out...
I was the subject matter of the TV programme 'A Place In The Sun'.
We were the 1st couple to be filmed and after editing it was the 5th to be shown.
This would have been in 2000. It was a complete disaster, They were new at it and fucking hopeless.
Brilliant process but it cost us money, took 5 full days of filming to make a 40 minute programme.
The 'Expert' presenter was a lovely girl called Fay Davies.
I wasn't given a copy of it and have only ever seen it once on e4.
I can find very little trace of it now.
Freeform Productions haven't got a copy and they referred me to Channel 4.
I'm told it is shown on some odd UK channel like UK Gold and Dave.

My tv appearance is still on YouTube, 3 teams have to get from Nazareth to Bethlehem (both in wales) by different forms of transport, I got the eejits on public transport, he was camper than a row of tents and the colour of an oompalloompa
Sialens dolig y lle - Rhan 3 if you’ve nowt better to do, it’s 6 mins in total for the whole clip, 4.50 onwards leads to my scene stealing, spoiler alert I’m the bus driver.

I went to photograph Saltergate before it got knocked down and met up with Ex Leicester winger Tommy Wright who was assistant manager at Chesterfield at the time. Anyway he took us round the entire ground inside and out talking to us about certain parts, we got chatted about Wolves as well and how jealous he was about what we were doing under Mick. Anyway he took me inside the changing rooms and at the time this was still a working stadium, we turned the corner and there was Mark Crossley stark fucking naked dick nearly touching the floor (Big man was our Mark) and he chased us out of the showers with his knob rocking side to side and he threw every swear word at us. We got back onto the pitch laughing like fuck. Tommy Wright was fucking brilliant and that was a day Id never forget.
