I have all my own teeth and no fillings,

And I got to number 3 in the uk charts in 2002.

My first post in this thread mentioned the oral hygene, and you can guess away, if I tell you a photo of me with bad hair and questionable clothes would appear quite quick I imagine.

So has the name of the group/artist whom you were singing with, appeared on this thread?

No comment, maybe when I get to know some people better I will spill the beans.

Well holy toledo Batman, why even spark our curiosity then if you aren't gonna tell us? That's just mean. Sort of like taking a kid into a candy store where the kid's eyes light up and you tell the kid you can only look at the candy but not touch any of it!

:o rollergirl! your style is admirable. :D

Thank you, i don't think anyone would admire my style when i was part of********************** in 2002.

I think the 'number 3' was a mistake. she got to No.2 and was a part of S Club Juniors... that's why she's embarrassed.

:D

My own claim to fame is a pitiful: I was featured in the Hua Hin programme of "A Place in The Sun" (UK tv). I've never seen it myself, but every time it's repeated anywhere in the world, people let me know they've seen it & ask if I need clothes or shoes brought out next time they come (seemingly the most impressive part of my interview was saying I found it difficult to get clothes or shoes to fit, being bigger than your average Thai girl! :o ) Slightly embarrassing!

My Dad used to do security & close protection (bodyguarding). He met &/or worked for loads of celebs including Princess Diana, Cindy Crawford, Freddy Mercury, the Liverpool football team (of I think 2000) and he used to do close protection for Tiger Woods every time he played in Thailand.

I met Howard Marks in a Brixton pub years back, off my trolley though.

My Aunt gets a Christmas card from Baby Spice.

To the one that asked - Where was I naked on British TV? It was a Pampers advert and I was the star!

And I met Jimmy White in Bangkok, I think he was looking for his friend Charlie. :o

I must confess to that being my very first hypthesis when I looked over 2003 charts records. But then I thought, she can't get it wrong.

I do think the name has been mentioned on this thread already.

Now, regardless, doing a sherlock, and eliminating all the other first, what I wouldn't knowing, is, Rollergirl, are you referring to general charts, or specified genre charts only etc...

You are a bit old to be doing pampers ads aren't you?

This thread isn't about me, there have been people here who have known people who know royalty, singing a stupid song is fairly nugatory, although I have to say I'm quite flattered with the attention :D

Ermm, rollergirl, in case you haven't noticed, most english folk (sadly) care more about david beckham than any prine we may have.

So, having got that out of the way,... Gettting back to YOU...

:D

What a tease you are RG !

But respect your right to annonimity as we do Micheal Jackson's and Bruce Springsteen who are also regular posters on Thai Visa......whoops!!

My claim to fame is that I saw John Cleese perform his first "Ministry of Silly walks" sketch and I am in the background!!!

Big deal :o

and I have met Sir Douglas Hurd (twice as he was my local MP)and Michael Hessletine when he was Deputy Prime Minister

again no big deal

Once I eat together with Martina Hingis. Unfortunately she didn't want to sit at the same Table with me :o

Met Rudolf Gnaegi, the active Swiss Minister of Devense when I was 9 somewhere in the Alps. No Body Guards at that time, so you could just go and talk with him. The talking did my Aunt, as I had just too much respect :D . Met him years later, he was allready retired, as I had to pay out his Life Insurance Policy in Cash. Thought, his Dog didn't like me as much, so he tried to bite me from time to time. If that Beast just knew how much Frolic his Master could buy with that Money :D

I was the youngest person ever, to attain the rank of Eagle Scout. President Nixon sent me a personal letter.

Ah, you just jogged my own memory!

I got a letter from Nixon also, but under significantly different circumstances. It said something like...

"In these times of difficulty, it is so good to count on friends who will help support this administration to accomplish what's good for America. In Appreciation, President Richard M. Nixon."

This was in reply to a letter of support I had sent to the White House during the Watergate scandal. A month later, it was found he really was a crook and resigned in disgrace. OK, so I'm not a very good judge of character. Funny why I forgot this incident... :o

I forgot - threw an egg at Maggie Thatcher once.

And I met Jimmy White in Bangkok, I think he was looking for his friend Charlie.

I saw him after he met Charlie in Bangkok!

I had dinner with Johnathan Ryhth something - told me he was making a movie - didn't really believe him but was sure I'd seen his face somewhere before.

Had a drink with Nico from Velvet Underground

Another memory of brush-with-fame...

Found what I thought was a quiet and secluded beach on the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii, to pitch my tent and have a night's uninterrupted slumber, preparing myself mentally and physically for the strenuous climb to the summit of Mauna Loa volcano (13,680 ft./4,170 m.) the next day.

Fat chance. :o

About 11pm or midnight, all hel_l broke loose on the water directly in front of my tent. A nighttime battle scene was being filmed from "Waterworld" and the resulting fireworks and booms were like 50 Fourth of July's all rolled into one, lasting until nearly dawn.

So much for a peaceful night's sleep. Thanks a lot, Kevin Costner.

Incidentally, I've seen the movie twice since that experience. I can't quite enjoy it because:

1) Knowing that instead of being on a "limitless" sea, they really filmed the whole thing about 300 yards from the beach.

2) I can't handle Costner's stone-faced acting, anyway.

3) I still resent losing a night's sleep

4) vomited up my guts on the mountain the next day from exhaustion (OK, so "Waterworld" was my convenient excuse for being out of shape...It's MY lie, and I'm stickin' to it...)

Once I almost got Mike Tyson to punch me when I saw him in the Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas by talking smack to him. :o

I was in the LA Hilton, quite pissed (ok very), arguing with a couple of American service folk when I suggested that all Americans were wimps.... They asked me if all Americans including Evander Holifield were wimps and if I'd be able to "punch him out". Unbeknown to me Evander was standing behind me and listening to the conversation. My retort was that Evander may just have the edge on me but I reckon my mate Lennox would be able to deal with him easily enough (Lennox Lewis had knocked him out for the World title the previous week).

As silence broke out I turned round to see a very unhappy large man....
