Did the RTE work expierience thing too. The rotating prize-stand broke down one day on the set of jo-maxi, so i stood by it rotating a motorised push car (this show was for teens) by hand, looking at my feet,in a deathly silence that was punctuated only by the squeaking of the stand. Had to be there i guess.

Spilt coffee over Hansard. AND got a signed skateboard from ASLAN. Wish i'd held on to that.
 
What was the movie (with James Nesbitt)?

The Most Fertile Man in Ireland.

for anyone considering extra work, DONT do it. we were up on Killiney Hill for ten hours in the middle of winter filming a scene that was supposed to be set in belfast during the summer. we were not dressed for the season. pricks.

I extra'd on "Big Dippers" which had Jimmy N, and again, I had a great time.
Besides the considerable hassle of getting out to Dublin Port at 6am (only to have the actual movie people show up late).

We got to go on a boat. They gave us one of the cafeteria areas to ourselves. It was fully stocked and I ravaged the place.
I did two hours of miming in the background in the whole 13 hour day. The rest of the time I ate, explored, took photographs and slept. And I got to Wales and back again, all in a day!

But yeah, it's a very hit and miss kinda job, and the days are loooooong. Depends what you wanna get out of it I spose. I just wanted food.
 
My brother and I were pictured on a poster advertising the Gaelteacht that was in probably every school in the country.
I've never been to the gaelteacht, I'm a brit, photo taken in the field behind my parents' place in Dunsh.

The photo that's on the cover of Large Mound's Go Forth And Amplify was in an Ireland guide book for years. It was ommitted when they revised the edition in the late 90s.
 
I once sold Angela Landsbury granite piers and balls for her garden in Cork (while I was working in an architectural salvage yard). She's a very nice lady.

Used to see a lot of Eddie Irvine while he was part owner of Cocoon. Worked near there and we had to go outside to smoke... he was always hanging around trying to look cool. So we made a point of ignoring him.

I did a few live interviews on radio in Wicklow and Carlow when I was involved in a Heritage Town project. I've also had my photo in the Carlow Nationalist and the Wicklow People.
 
Gary Shaw was in my house once.

NB you will only know who Gary Shaw is if you supported Aston Villa in the 80s.

ah yeah, handsome blonde bloke. that's by far the best one.

i impersonate eddie izzard at parties for toffs.
 
my best one is probably still ian mckaye giving me a hug.
i did stuff that ended up on the front page of the UCD newspaper a few years back.
oh and when i was a kid i had my photo in the tribune for some vague reason or other - i think i wrote a cute letter to their kids' page or something.
 
I don't think I have a single one, which makes this a pretty pointless post. No, wait: I would have been on the front page of the Limerick Leader for my Junior Cert results except I didn't turn up for the photo. Got baked instead.

I got felt up by one of the Roots after their show in the Music Centre a few years ago. It was great.
