    I'm secretly ghost rider......don't tell anyone

    Err, lets see.

    Been in shortland street countless times, some extra roles, some talking lines (shit pay, and shit service, Shortland street sucks.. and they recycle people!)

    Was an extra in the first Narnia movie in the train station scene at the beginning of the movie. That was awsome, paid really well and was fed like a king.. Pavlova's 3 feet wide and 7 feet long.. 4 of them..

    Done some Philips Printer advert,

    Done some council water safety advert,

    Was in the papers when I designed some fancy gizmo accessory for an MP3 player when I was in high school.

    Had my old electronic's company in the papers too, started as another high school project.. sold that to Dick Smith's for a tidy sum.

    And some other things aswell.. Getting in the newspaper's is easy.
    Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
    For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
    Because he knows the time is short
    Let him who hath understanding
    Reckon the number of the beast
    For it is a human number
    Its number is six hundred and sixty six.

    I think you are confusing baby with foetus (at an early stage) holding a BB from a slug gun....

    In 2001, me and 2 mates were involved in a series of demonstrations over a month where we played footbag (hacky sack) for 10-15 minutes....right after an intro from the SkyCity cheerleaders.

    In return, they sponsored us to go to Vancouver for the World Footbag Champs.

    Where I came.....dead last!!!
    My mates did alright though

    I'm pretty sure that's as close to fame as I'll ever come.

    Well I've just graduated from the NZRTS (New Zealand Radio Training School)... came fourth overall (bragging rights please!! )

    Well along with radio is also on air work, obviously. So I can pretty much say I've had at least ten hours of fame, since we did on air work on a small radio ststion that nobody has ever heard of before (XFM, 106.7FM btw). Also did a bit of work last year every friday on GOFM 107.1 Friday afternoons 3-5pm. Good fun.

    My fifteen minutes of FAME, would have to be sitting alongside Grant Walker, he was assessing some news reading work that I have prepared for him, and during his assessing of my work, his big expensive phone rang... "Grant speaking" he says in his deep voice that I oh so need. Turns out they were planning the start of the winning wheel of fortune, and I heard the whole conversation, including all the problems and stuff.

    I should sell my knowledge on TradeMe

    Had a few cars featured in NZ hotrod mag some years back.

    Won some drag races back then too that made print.

    Best one was newspaper coverage of my major car wreck in the 90s.
    Still got repercussions from that sucka!

    Front page of the Dominion when I was about two ( must have been carved in stone back then ) and on TV sitting on a typists lap during Telethon one year - wife wasn't too pleased, marriage didn't last long after that

    -My mum had me modelling aged 5 or so.
    -Then did some more modelling back in new Caledonia age 18. Still got one of the books somewhere gathering dust.
    -Did some work as extra on a couple of episodes of Xena and Hercules. I couldn't recognize myself they had me covered with so much brown goo...
    -Wrote an article or two for Kiwi Rider a couple of years ago.
