Have you ever been featured in the news?

[phonics]

So I just found out this:

1254176233023172611

and it turns out my stuff has featured in two completely random publications I've never heard of.

Any others?

[Smjffy]

You might see me on Channel 4 news during the week as it happens as myself and thousands of others have been campaigning for new starters to be furloughed. I'm expecting a call.

Our petition surpassed the 75,000 and so far our open letter to Rishi has nearly 4,000 signatures, MP's and a few celebs have signed it and endorsed too.

Look out for the giant thumb.

I was once in a photo in a group of people stood next to a new set of traffic lights in the Coventry Evening Telegraph when I was about six.

[John]

When I was in school I took part in something called 'The Big Bounce', a charity 'world record' attempt to get most people simultaneously bouncing on space hoppers that was going on in shopping centres all over the place. A group photo of those of us from my school was in the Evening Times.

Ooh, I was once in the local newspaper as a kid too because there was glass in my nerds. :D

[Giggles]

I said something very brief on a roundup of Paddy’s Day parades on the news once. I was at a small one in the midlands.

[Kikó]

I used to be in the local South Manchester Reporter for my (limited) goal scoring prowess.

Seems my shite tweets have been in 3 online reports.

Oh, and this : https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/24/manchester-united-fans-sombre-mood-europa-league-final-stockholm

[Jimmy Floyd]

The back of my head could once be seen during the lead item on the 6 o'clock news.

I've probably been quoted in the local paper about 10-20 times in the last five or so years because of cricket, but I haven't even read most of them.

That article explains you giving up being a top red to drink Chateauneuf. You can't get on a rattler after saying 'rowdy bunch' in public.

[Kikó]

Last day Sean spoke to me, come to think of it.

[Lewis]

Wikipedia cites my article on Harold Macmillan where there is absolutely no need for it to, and some wally on the openDemocracy cranksite references my book to support a point that I didn't cover in any form whatsoever. Most academics would kill for that sort of engagement.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's probably done his references in the way I did in undergrad, which is to find a bunch of titles that seem on the face of it to be relevant to the topic at hand and just sprinkle them over the essay, like you would sprinke parmesan over penne al salmone if you were trying to wind up Luca.

Good times on Teh Refuge, that.

Weren't you in the news about 7/7 for some reason you never explained?

I don't think I've ever been in the news. I wonder how long it would take if I started tweeting about the latest events in Salt Lake City.

I was one of the forty referenced here.

[Spoonsky]

Did you find anything?

[Smjffy]

Who else is waiting for Mellin?

No. I did have an interesting day, but that's not a story I can really tell on here.

[Spoonsky]

Fucking hell. :D

No.

You could place that article to within about three weeks on the mention of 'celebrity Carenza Lewis' alone.

They had to correct your slang English. :cool: / :D

While still a sin, the fact that penne al salmone is in a cream sauce anyways makes it just this side of utter blasphemy. People who put cheese on spaghetti allo scoglio have a special place in hell reserved for them, however.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You see? Effortless.

[Luca]

It's a reflex.

[John]

Luca reminds me a bit of a mate of mine with this. He runs a steakhouse so he's similarly precious about various cuts of meat and how they should be cooked. One night I saw him after they were closed and he was like a trauma victim because someone had ordered a Chateaubriand and asked for it to be a little more than well done, sliced thin, and popped on a ciabatta roll with some dripping sauce.

[Luca]

I play it up on here, though. I’m a terribly unfussy eater in reality. I have preferences that I’ll stick to when eating alone or if sticking to the preferences doesn’t inconvenience others, but will go along with anything.

I also don’t actually lecture people in real life on food. That’s for vegans.

[Mellberg]

Not enough stabbing involved for that to make the news.

Just a campaigning for Kosovo thing in the nineties as a kid.

[mo]

Been interviewed by BBC Points West twice, once about some old house in Bath while I was a student (I knew nothing about it, said as much and they still put it on the telly) and then another time before Swindon played Bristol City in a cup game. I think I swore or said something inappropriate for the telly but again, they still put it in.

[Baz]

and now over to Kelly Dalglish who is with die-hard Swindon fan, Mo Ianlad.

“Hi Mo; nice tan. How do you see tonight panning out?”
“Cheers love. I reckon I’ll watch the footy and go home and finger Maddie.”
“The result?”
”Well she’s only 3, so I dunno.”

Back to the studio.

[Spikey M]

That would indeed be inappropriate.

[SvN]

I was interviewed by MUTV outside Old Trafford before Gary Neville's testimonial, which was a few days before the Champions League final in 2011. They asked me how we stop Messi, and I said "Break his legs?" or something. I then rambled nervously about what I think our tactics will be and showed myself up.

I was featured in the Sunday Mercury as a double page spread for something football related.

I had a letter about the poor treatment of David Beckham after the 98 World Cup featured on teletext.

[ScousePig]

Just sport related things really, mainly football but a bit of cricket. I've had a few football related photos too, and a headline once. I once scored 50 for the under 17s and had my name in, alongside a certain J.Milner who was playing for the opposition.

Oh, I was interviewed by Radio Leeds last year when I was cycling along the canal. It was about litter.

I read this as 'crying' initially and thought it was a bit fucked up for them to interview you when you were upset :cab:

Best one by far. Teletext :cool:
