actiondell4 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Well was on a baht bus recently,and who went past but the Golden Glitterman. I shouted out hello,and to my surprise he smiled back and waved. Seems like a friendly guy. By the way just getting off the topic a bit,i saw the guy with the macaw bird arguing with some people on beach road last week,probaly about photos. Anyway getting back on topic,Glitterman,does he own a business of some sort or can i only guess how he gets his income ? He seems to be a friendly chap,i heard non drinker,non womaniser so i guess he saves money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

473geo Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) "Seems like a friendly guy" Yep that would be accurate......been a bit quiet lately though.... I don't have any idea how he survives, but at least he brightens the day a little. Edited November 20, 2010 by 473geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farang0tang Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 and inside his bike shop, at the far end is the fancy dress section. With a mysterious changing room - a la Mr Benn stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 My impression is that he is independently NOT wealthy with no visible means of support, but doing just fine. (Like me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 No it's not our business if he doesn't want to talk about it. However, he has made himself a public figure by being interviewed in the press, he is under 50 so we know he isn't on a retirement visa, so you can't really blame some people for wondering.

appropriate Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Just from my observations it's the guys who haven't a pot to piss in who are usually the ones nosing into other people's means of living. Perhaps ye guys could start following him to find out. Cheers chaps. Dominic T. Edited November 20, 2010 by appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) I don't really care but don't think it odd that some people do. He's a celeb. Edited November 20, 2010 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
473geo Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) In a very short time close to 200 people have looked in on this thread.....Glitterman is obviously a character that stirs a gentle interest.........

jombom Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 He is obviously an artiste, or street artist in the case of Pattaya. Whether he is a budding literary genius, is a matter for debate. If you wish to know how artists survive, please do some research with your friend google, about various artists throughout history. You will quickly realise, that he does not care how he survives, so why should we ? It is all about art, and nothing else.----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I don't know if he's an artist exactly, but I guess you could call him a performance cyclist. He certainly isn't doing that for money, though it's wrong to say all artists aren't into money. Remember Andy Warhol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actiondell4 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Glitterman should be applauded for his efforts in bringing happiness into Pattaya. Not sure how he gets his income,i dont know his background either,maybe he has a disability or such,but a friendly guy,thankyou Glitterman.

backfromouterspace Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 One day thre truth will be told. But it maybe more than just coincidence that you never see ex- Wham!

craigt3365 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I've seen him many times riding around. I always roll down my window and wave...and I get a big smile and a wave back. Not a bad chap to have around. His stories, posted here, are quite...well...interesting is a good term I guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actiondell4 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Oh Really ? He was in Wham ! ? I loved that band,must be 1980 s ? Wow ! Thanks for the info,next time I see Glitterman I will get his autograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'singer' Andrew Ridgely and Glitterman in the same place at the same time. No, he's not Andrew Ridgely. Here's what I found on the internet: Moved to Monaco where he failed at a career as race car driver (he crashed a few times and couldn't find sponsors). Signed with Columbia records in 1990 and did one solo album Son of Albert. He now owns a restaurant called Bar 92. He married ex-Bananarama singer Keren Woodward and they have a son Thomas. Here's his latest pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If you really want to know about Glitterman I suggest you use the search facility on this forum. There have been numerous posts which give some detail of his background though there is a lot of digging involved to find it! I just did a quick search which came up with numerous pages of posts by and about him. It's all there to be found if you have the stomach for it!

Here's his latest pic. So what you're saying is that there's nothing on him since the early 90s. Keren is handy with the sewing machine and had a penchant for sequins and gold lame frocks when she was in Bananarama. as for Thomas - he followed his Dad's love of speed an now rents jet skis on Jomtien beach. All it takes is a bit of Googling. Edited November 22, 2010 by backfromouterspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
