The Interweb Has Failed me....!

At the weekend I met someone who works in Radio and TV. His claim to fame is that he was sacked from Playschool after unleashing a torrent of swear words during a rehersal. Not so bad you might think, but he was unaware that the producers families were present and the little kiddies ears were turning blue. Needless to say, he was escorted off the set before the usual "Mummy, what's a cunt?" questions started. As usual with a minor celebrity, he dropped a few "names" into the conversations and stories so he sounded important but also managed not to give us his name. I thought that such an event was bound to be recorded somewhere on the internet but to my dismay I cannot find anything relating to it. I have searched the pictures of past presenters too but cannot see his smug celebrity face anywhere. Tsk. This Internet thing is crap!

Sounds like things have tightened up at Children's telly since the infamous "Pubic Hair magic-markered onto Hamble doll" incident at Blue Peter.

When did you start hanging out with meeja types? Apart from yours truly obviously.

He is just a neighbour of my Parents-in-laws.
Actually my father in law hangs out with all the showbiz people.
He owns his own video company and the people who do the edit invite him to their new-year parties every year at Soho House. He gets to meet all sorts of pop bands and people like that but can never remember who they are! Most annoying!
We went with him one year - but the best we got to see was Roy Walker and Samatha Janus.

The latter was totally caked in makeup - hold on... no - they both were!

Yes, when I used to work with luvvies, it was amazing how many of them accidently did a shite job of getting the slap off, so they'd look good for any (fervently hoped for) paparazzi.
