A job I use to do made the nation news. But in the vidoe clip they used on the news it was only my step-father, uncle and our dog that was in it

'> . We use to watch the tape loads for a laugh and my step-father even put it on the telly once when the cops came around to have a "cuppa"

Seriously this time:

I've been on TV twice, doing martial arts demonstrations. The first time was for TVAM in '87/'88, the last time was GMTV in March or May '02.

I've been in two magazines, Maxim in May '97 and Ride August '05.

wow. Surrounded by celebs. I can't think of anything that either people don't know or is actually interesting, mind you some of the above is questionable! When are they gonna have a london bikers celebrity big brother?

My Uncle used to be quite close with Frank Bruno, they used to spa together. I have a pic, in our flat, when I was about 2 of him holding me and I look positively petrified

I've met a few celebs but the one that stands out for me is Mark Wingett, who played DC Carver in The Bill. Met him through his scuba diving activities. He's a great laugh, a really nice guy.

i used to chat to him quite alot when he was at the bill
he changed alot from the Quadrophenia days worse thing he ever done going to the bill, like most soaps and stuff they get stuck with the character's name
unlike Phil Daniels, Phil Davis, Ray Winstone,

The high from seeing some of the people in real life from the Bill the day I worked there was amazing

'> I do watch the show and like it lots (both Tori and I always watched it). It's was always cool to watch as we were living in London and watching a London police show. Cheers Colin as it's a day I still smile about today

I haven't worked with Judi Dench and of course dear Tom Wilkinson, and Daniel Craig of course. But the best advice I had was not from Pierce who looked into my eyes and said, "Now Peckham Rose, it is so vulgar to name drop".

Blimey, I overlooked this till now. Ian McDonald is your uncle? Foreigner were a great band, one of my favourites, and one of my favourite songs by them was a little-known instrumental called Tramondane, which was virtually all synthesisers, so I guess your relative was the one behind that. Superb, MFaster. You should be proud of your uncle.

I had vague acquaintances with children of famous keyboard players (Jon Lord and Rick Wright) who went to the same school as me, but they were not in the same year, so didn't know them very well. They seemed very nice though, just normal kids.

I forgot - I've been in two books too:

"Fusion Fitness - 15 martial arts workouts for mind, body and spirit", and

"Kick The Fat - A three-part kick-boxing workout to help you burn fat - fast!"

I was on telly a few times as a kid/teenager and was in 2 films, one of them was something called Blue money I think with Billy Connelly, probably my favourite comedian, that's why I remember that one.

But I think my most memorable moment was as an apprentice mechanic, I somehow got on the Audi UK rally team as tea boy/gopher, and was invited on a night test ride with Stig Blomqvist through the infamous Kilder Forrest, the mechanic's all thought I'd be throwing up when I got back, but I got out smiling and asking if I could have a go in daylight as I couldn't see his driving technique properly in the darkness. I actually think that's why I wasn't ill, if I was looking out the windows all the time it was pretty frightening, anyway that then led me to a much shorter rallycross career than Scorp's, oh and a guest apperance that made the cover of Havock 7 I think, which ended my rallycross career through lack of funds and car.
