ok lads so what is yer claim to fame.....

mine is when i was about 10 i was on holiday in doonbeg, county clare and i was fishing on the river banks and this man approaches me with another guy, no idea who they were. so they said "kid, wanna go fishing with us" so i ran up and asked my parents, they wanted to meet this guy so for some reason my dad got all excited when he was talking to him. anyways , still without realising who he was, off i went fishing with them, went down through fields only to be chased out by about 4 bulls and 50 cows.. it was a near death experience, but we just escaped. i was on this guys shoulders as we were running.. when i was about 15, then i only realised who the guy actually was.... GREG NORMAN.. aint that cool.. and he gave me 20 quid.. savage dancing

Well, I am warming to the kid in school idea now! But the acting one is good too.... especially since you had a sword!

I was involved in a Sunday World story some years ago, AHEM! But unfortunately it wasn't a true story!
