The 5 Minutes Of Fame Thread!


Recommended Posts

Right then boys & girls,

We all have our odd 5 minutes of fame thread, whether it be car related or not, everyone has hit the Internet,mags & news at somepoint in their life!

So let's see what you've all got!

Something a little different from the usual I guess :)

made the back cover of a golf mag for wearing a silly hat at a golf event here in N.Ireland (nothing was said about my playing mind you!)



also regularly made the evening news as a teenager getting off the bus from school (it was how our local news broadcasters liked to start their news pieces about George Best who happened to be living next door)



thankfully anything i've done that would actually be newsworthy has never materialized into a 'captured on camera' moment Lol





Im guessing you either were wonderfully awesome at something that made the news or you made it big in a metal/emo/other band at some stage Akers?? spill the beans?? :D:D

Hahaha, I bet you've being in the news for the wrong reasons Phil!:') Crimewatch more like ;-)

Hahaha nah mate, I wish I was in a band, would be so cool!

My 5 minutes of fame lasted only a year for me, i was once a semi professional downhill mountain biker! Abbreviated to a daft c*nt :D

Quit due to unforeseen circumstances, I also had a really really bad crash in 2013, once I recovered 8 months later, It was physically stopping me from riding at the pace I was, the level of fitness etc. Which was just the start of everything for me. When I start up my own company, vlogs etc, I'm sure the full extent will be spilled one day!

I just want to hear about everyonelse, enough of my bollocks!

I used to ride a few years back and have started again. Just unsure what he means by 'semi proffesional'.had a few mates that were sponsored by Slam 69, intrepid apparel,stanton, oneil and a few others. None really classed themselves as semi proffesional.

Who were you sponsored by?

I think by semi professional he just means he was quite good on a bike better that the average bloke so he's labelled himself a semi professional lol

My thoughts exactly

It means I didn't do it for a living, but I spent all my spare time outside of work, training & racing.

Think what you like, I'd like to know why you keep cropping up all over threads I put up with negative comments.
