Boris Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I have ...................... ex-para British paratriathlete "Andy" Lewis MBE Gold medal winner in the men's PT2 paratriathlon at the 2016 Paralympics. He also won Gold medals in the Paratriathlon World Championships in Rotterdam in 2016 & the European Championships. Really nice bloke. Seeing him this morning, made me wonder if anyone else has any celebs in their road/street. Here he is running up our Close with his young daughter.

Boris Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Not watched Midlands Today since 1985, so I am not sure I have ever heard of him :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Balding guy with white beard always seen with bow tie and waistcoat. I tried looking up a picture of him on Google, ended up with a whole load of pictures of Reggie Yates who looks as unlike him as possible, a police man and some religious loony from the states.

AlanHo Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 It depends on how you define celebrity - for example - some regard Russell Brand as a celebrity - to others he is a turd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they answer yes to either, stop wasting time and move on. There's bound to be somebody worth talking to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Most of the SO CALLED celebrities I have never heard of, they are non entities. The media seems to be obsessed with them. Alan gave a very good example, Claudia Winklepicker is another, prat Jeremy Clarkson is another, and how about Alan Sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
