  • I thought Jeremy Kyle was on ITV...

    Am I jealous? Depends what you're going to be famous for, dunnit.

    • That was awful.

      That's like Friday Night Project level of funniness.

      I've written a big essay about why I hate Jeremy Kyle in my mind.

      • Cheers.

        The main difference between me and the FNP is that I know I'm not funny.

        Are we gonna get to hear this anti-Kyle rant?

    • Obv.

      If they said would you rather be on tv or given this pot of golden coins, I'd take the coins.

      But you have to settle for second best really don't you?

      :'(

      • Why are you going to be on tv then?

        breadfan @wrightylew | 22 Feb '07, 18:16 | X
        • Because I'm confused about my career path.

          Apparently they want us to be confused about what path we want to take with education and careers etc.

          So I told them I was. I kind of am a bit, because no-one knows what they want to do at my age do they?

          But apparently a camera crew would be following me around for 8 months.

          Do you think I might meet John Snow? Or Krishnan? I like Krishnan, but John Snow can sod off.

          • ...

            So you're gonna be on one of those morning 'youth' programmes C4 do? Cool!

            • ...

              I remember one where they got kids to dump their friends and hook up with another tribe of teens who they thought they had more in common with. There was this girl who pretty much told her friends that they were vacuus dipshits before announcing she was going emo. And then there was the gay kid who wanted friends who could take him cottaging or whatever it is the gays do these days.

              And the twist is that if the new friends reject them or for whatever reason it doesn't work out, the kid has to go crawling back to their old friends pleading to be let back in. All in front of camera.

              One of the few times I've stared slack-jawed at the screen, muttering "new low" every couple of seconds.

              • does this mean you're not getting paid?

                seriously dude - don't do unpaid work on the telly

                Anschul @wrightylew | 22 Feb '07, 18:19 | X
                • I dunno if I am.

                  I'll sponge it off em somehow.

                  Or I'll do Richard and Judy after. They'll pay me for sure.

                  • be VERY careful

                    and don't trust ANYONE who works in TV

              • Just remember

                that you and I have always shared a kind of sexual bond. We may not express it as often as we should, but it's there. If you try and suppress it it'll only come back stronger

                • Wow!

                  Exciting stuff! Make sure you mention FoTB a lot. You could turn your house into an FoTB shrine, just to really drive the point home.

                  • so what are you going to do

                    other than being followed around for 8 months

                    • I was on Channel 4 recently

              • when my mum got married

                they got contacted by C4 cos they were doing this show called 'The Big Speech' where they filmed people's preparations for their wedding speeches.

                They said no in the end but they saw the programme in the end and the producers made the people in it look like complete twats with 'selective editing'.

                There is no moral to this story.

                restlessboy | 22 Feb '07, 19:42 | X
                • I always said you had no morals.

                  BobbyGrindrod @restlessboy | 22 Feb '07, 23:46 | X
                  • are they going to film you spending hours on the internet?

                    id watch that
