15 minutes, 20 second slices.

.

Yet another brief appearance in TV. Always gets me how an hours worth of filming ends up in a 20sec clip.

Never mind.

Did a cameo clip on the quality of minced meat available at a local supermarket after another lab had done a pretty terrible job. We were involved in the rebuttal of the dodgy report and a 'good news story' about the supermarket.

Andy Warhol (I think) said we all get 15min of fame. He never allowed for the editing suites of the TV studios who would cut it back to a 20sec sounds bite.

Star of Stage, Screen & Radio Wales.

.

Oh well, that went OK. I was just on Jamie & Louise's show on BBC Radio Wales talking about my time teasing Nigerian conmen.

The boys listened to it on-line and said nice things about it.

But they would be sleeping in the street if they didn't.

While I was waiting for the show to start I was re-reading some of the letters. God, I got away with some crazy stuff. You will notice, for example, that the Devil's photo in his passport bears a striking resemblance to Donald Rumsfeld. If you click on it, to enlarge it, you will be able to admire the fetching little red flecks in his eyes.

The letters are here, if you are interested.

I wont be offended if you're not. It is a largely misunderstood hobby.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, the red comment on the passport is to stop it being printed and used by people even more unscrupulous than me. And no, the number on the passport is not a real one.
