Why am I not famous?
PB - thought you might be back in the UK in time for this:
DO you long to be famous but have no particular talent?
The incredible popularity of Big Brother and a host of other reality TV shows has turned us into a nation of wannabe celebrities, all desperate to become household names.
Now, thanks to an amazing new Sun competition I Can’t Believe I’m Not Famous! you too can become a celebrity for no particular reason.
But this is no ordinary search for stardom.
In fact, it could be a positive advantage if you are neither sexy nor a songbird.
The less talent the better!
So long as you have a great sense of humour, a larger-than-life personality and think you deserve a chance of fame, then you are in with a chance. To enter, tell us in 100 words or less why you should be famous.
You must also send us a photograph of yourself or a short video to impress our celebrity panel of judges.
All entries must arrive by June 18, 2003. You must live in the UK and be aged 18 or over.
Most importantly, you must be free from talent!
Send your entry with your name, address and a daytime telephone number, along with a Sun masthead cut from the front page to: I Can’t Believe I’m not Famous! Competition, PO Box 44207.
Full details are also available on our hotline number 08457 581215 and on limited edition packs of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! available in all major supermarkets.
So what are you waiting for? Let us turn you into a star.

Seemed the easiest way to suggest that someone was a talentless Pommie B*stard!!! As he himself confirms.

Keep perusing the Perth Gazette for us, we appreciate the mongrel snippetts. Really.
Cheers - all the best - really - Don
