[QUOTE="jay hay-char, post: 747653, member: 116810"] I once appeared on the Telly, on a Southern TV (showing my age) programme in a series about boating. It was a feature about getting kids into sailing, and my Dad was one of the programme's presenters so, being cheapskates, the production company told him to bring his kids along with their dinghy (an Optimist, which is what most kids still learn to sail in), to show the audience what it's like. There was a bit of chat about types of boat, local sailing clubs and the like, and then we got into the dinghy and sailed off on a rather manky stretch of the River Itchen in Southampton, next to the studios. Strangely, we missed out on a BAFTA nomination :) Don't have any famous friends, but I met James May at a party last summer - friends of ours were at Lancaster Uni with him and he is Godfather to their daughter and still a close friend of theirs. What a nice bloke. [/QUOTE]
