But, just supposing he had a pushy agent who wanted to boost his profile, which of the many "Reality TV" shows do you think he'd be best on? There are so many these days, in the jungle with "I'm a Celebrity", Big Brother, learning to cook in Hells Kitchen, teaching posh kids to play Rock 'n' roll, the list goes on. Ideas please -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Or being one of the mentors from Faking It, if someone needs how to play the eletric guitar in just 4 weeks. Or riding on his powerful motocyles around in a Top Gear-type show. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Nov. 28 2005, 15:03 "Mike Oldfield Fan - Fear Factor" Fans get subjected to such dares as: "how long can you stay in the studio during the recording of "Millennium Bell II"? "Perched in a chair, forced to listen to the vocaloid eO eO eO of 'The Gate' from 'Light and Shade' in a repeated loop: how long can you stay in the chair. Or will you chose instead to jump into the pool of hungry swimming crocodiles below?" "Everyone has to end their sentences with 'Elizabeth Jane'. First one who forgets to during a conversation loses the round." "Contestants get to ride in alone in a small balloon with Richard Branson (He hasn't had his tea or massage today, and is quite cross and short-tempered). The challenge? Decode the morse code message in the Africa sections of "Amarok", and recite the secret message to Branson's face. You won't be given a parachute." " 'Blue Peter' car races, like in the video, but with no brakes, no helmets. Cars AND chaos, together at last. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Thanks Hiawatha, that;s reminded me there's a competition in the local paper to win a flight in a hot air balloon,  appropriately enough a Virgin balloon. If I do happen to win the prize and Richard Branson is the pilot, I hope he's in a better mood, or I might be tempted to tell him to F*** Off too.    . Blue Peter car races sounds like fun . I don't know why "reality" TV shows are so called, as to me the tooth fairy is more real, I was so dissapointed to find out she didn't exist   . -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

Tansy Group: Members Posts: 416 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Nov. 29 2005, 03:28 Celebrity Busker - a handfull of established artistes including M.O, all in disguise(though not with those ridiculous foam faces and things)could be each given a nominal amount of cash to start with,& sent off to different places eg:underground station ect. The challenge would be for them to see who can impress the general public the most, & it would be money for charity at stake.Playing their own material isn't allowed & there could be more rules applied,such as M.O being given a punk number to have to play The one who rakes in the most cash,would then get a cheque given to their chosen charity Back to top
