I'm wondering, are there any famous people here on the forum? Like someone that Joe Public has heard of?
Me? I've been on Japanese TV.
glupton was on the Beeb.
All the Pufferers too.
Prince Charles occasionally posts.
Define "famous"
I was once on BBC Herefordshire radio playing a didgeridoo.

To "Joe Public"?
That was a stealth edit
Too quick for me obviously.
without photos it didn't happen Pook
akabusi or katona? The mundacity of the reasons why would remove the need for photos
I saw a clue in : "Like someone that Joe Public has heard of"
Oh I see.
I don't think that applies to all of those who have replied so far (apart from Prince Charles and I have heard that Margaret Thatcher looks in ever so often and takes pride in the fact that she is still mentioned on a mountain biking forum!)
Sure you have that the right way round pook?
CaptainFlasheart was in two episodes of blackadder.
What does Prince Charles ride? I've searched the forum but can't find.
I know George Bush rides a Niner Jet 9. Great taste!

Peppa Pig
Beavis and Butt Head post on here a lot 🙂
TJ was famous in his own lunchtime.
I was on Songs of Praise once.
I was on Harry Seecombe's (sic)'Highway' once.
Really ballsed up a forward roll as a ten year old. Knee in the face on tv with whole family watching. Never been near a camera since.
Even I have been on Japanese TV.
Judging by the long winded posts in relation to politics and religion threads and the fact that contributors seem to have time to post these threads (and in fairness some are well informed and researched) I would say one or two of the following are amongst us:
Pope Benedict
Tony Blair
Kerry Katona
Maggie thatcher
Richard Keys
George Galloway
Vlad the Impaler

.... and Jeremy Vine
So nobody properly famous then?
In 1984 I had a liaison with the younger sister of the next years Miss World (actually, she was runner-up, but lets not dwell on detail). I like to think some of my potential rubbed off, thrusting older sister into the limelight the next year, briefly.

Yech.
If by 'Joe Public' you mean someone who works in a fairly specific area of early medieval/late antique history, then my name could be recognisable. 😉
Otherwise, I am on speaking terms with a friend of the Prince of Wales, so I am also vicariously famous two steps removed.
Cough!
Ah, you're that guy who makes bikes out of drainpipes and sheds, in another shed, somewhere in Yorkshire! Onenon, or something!uwe-r - MemberCough!
Chris Boardman was on here a while back.
Isn't that what Twitter is for?
Is Guy Martin on here?
I'm not very famous, not very famous at all really.
I was on Beadles About when I was ten though.
I've been on here,does that count?
I'll be famous [s]when they uncover the trail of[/s] one day
I've been on a space themed comedy show a few times....
meehaja - MemberThe repack guy who posts occasionally is pretty famous?
Yes, Charlie Kelly is pretty "famous" in a mountain bike sort of way.
Let's face it.
If anyone on here is proper famous they would either be shouting it from the rooftops or keeping schtum.
Stephen Fry is a keen DHer so you never know, he might pop in now and again but just not Tweet about it.
Apparently, Pete Docherty used to anonymously frequent Libertines fan forums.
Can’t see him doing much mountain biking though...hello Pete if you are reading this.
Hello Papa_Lazarou.
Me...or at least my shadow...I see that everywhere I go so it must be a serious social player...clearly!
I once took Natalie Imbruglia's dog for walk.
Sadly there was no euphemism involved.
I once met Louis de Bernières at an exhibition that he was opening. I was stood waiting next to this bloke who looked like a shambling academic. It turned out to be Mr de Bernières. Scruffy git.
I also once really annoyed Mike Harding.
Therefore I am as famous as everyone else on here.
It could have been me. I was asked to hand-double for and inappropriate up the jumper incestuous groping scene in some pick-up shoot for a film thats in the cinemas this week. But at the last moment the body double of the gropee decided that "Its too ****ing cold for this shit" and we binned the idea.
Oh Damn!
I was in Elizabeth: The Golden Age for 9 seconds. (In tights!)
If you've seen that, you've seen me. (In tights!)
(It wasn't very good.)
I've introduced my parents to the Queen and Prince Phillip.
I've initiated a special print run of The Sun.
I've been seen on Al Jazeera.
I move beyond famous. I move in mysterious ways 8)
Oh, and of course, I met and shook the hand of Bradley Wiggins and soon after he started his meteoric rise to awesomness. I like to think that I had a little part in it.
And I've talked to Phil Liggett about his baboon problem.
rubbed off, thrusting older sister
I assume that is why your relationship with the younger sister did not progress...
snogged by Kerry katona
Bloody hell I must have been drunk 'cos I don't remember a thing!
Ahh claims to fame ... hmmm. I was once interviewed on Finnish radio and TV to talk about their summer Rock festivals... as most of that summer I drank vodka mash with the locals I might not remember that much of it.
I went to Bruce Dickinsons wife;s garden party and fell -on purpose- into the pool. I was sick later and driven home in a Corvette.
I sat next to Katy Perry at lunch once, didnt even know who she was until the wife pointed it out. she was with her agent and nicely normal.
I was once on a guest list as Tony Hadley, the name is similar but I dont think he was that big a fan of Skid Row, so the doorman accepted it was me.
Some of the above might be true, but they are so obscure why would I invent them? 😉
I was on, and won The Weakest Link, and all my friends know who I am, so I'm obviously pretty famous!
I cooked Eric Clapton a mackerel once. Does that count?
all my friends know who I am
Now that's what I call fame.
I was eating nettles on country file
Peacefully rioting on the news in the 90s
Dance energy with Normski surfing in the 90s
That LV advert went out over 200,000 time one summer.
Cooked for Stefan Dennis, chatted bikes with captain sensible, talked about Bellevue rendezvous with Jonathan Ross, surfed with rob machado, worked with the grumpy one from the goodies... Bill oddey. And worked with... Eeer bloke from Alan partridge, his character worked in the petrol station... Eeeer, he did the voice overs for my TV ads.
Does the bloke from Jesus jones hang out on here?
In my yoot, I tape-opped on sessions for both Derek Griffiths and Ralph McTell. I'm like George Martin, but cooler.
I have appeared in several newspaper pictures, in the crowd behind the Park Lane goal at Tottenham....
I was also misquoted in "The Times" many years ago....
I found a book with a picture of me standing behind Paul Weller in a pub....

I got you all beaten. I once met Mark Curry AND Yvette Feilding at RAF Cosford!
I mistook Alan Parsons for a stage hand and asked him to hold a piece of wood and pass me some screwson a job last year. Thought it a bit odd that he let hanging around on the stage and getting in the way until he stared his sound check and informed me as to who he was.
And I've got a photo somewhere of me with David Attenborough. I was about two.
Oh, and I've been interviewed on Bavarian radio about critical mass.
MrsBouy knows Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson, she also helped Charlie get a Grand Piano up 4 flights of stairs into his Flat.
She has renovated some " famous " BBC & C4 newsreaders homes.
Does she count.
You can tell I only hang around with her so the awsomnez rubs off..

Edit; I was also in a band and we we interviewed by Nick Knowles for a local news program. We were described as the 'M4 Sound' 😕 Same band also toured 3 times with Squeeze and supported Elvis Costello at Shepards Bush Empire.
My brother inlaw lived next door to Geoffrey from Rainbow, its a five min walk from my house... bizarrely a ten minute walk in the opposite direction takes you to a house owned by Jonny Depp. I'm a jonny and Geoffrey sandwich natch.
I recently had a letter printed in the Malvern Gazette
Is CFH secretly Les Ferdinand? he once broke into the BP garden and pi$$ed n the pond.
I was in The Flumps.
