A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

My Dad doesn't have to be famous for me to be proud of him. Just sayin'None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0

Yeah, maybe famous is the wrong word, but maybe The Salvager is famous in the circles of those who make their own furniture?FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future

I've watched a couple of his shows and really enjoyed them - it's the sort of stuff I love to do. Not just furniture but just making stuff from stuff, brilliant fun and so satisfying to look at and say 'I made that' to yourself.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

Sorry could you type louder, the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped through is deafening me.
I think the point at which someone is famous needs more than this TBH, by this reckoning I'm ludicrously well known and had my dad lived into twit/fb/wiki times, you'd have him down as Sean Connery in his chosen field.0 -
If that was my Dad I'd want to punch a few square in the face.
Surely its subjective. As in, if you are not exposed or interested in subject matter then you won't know who that person is.
For example Buju Banton is a star IMO, Skindred are famous but there are bound to be a fair few people on here who haven't a clue who I'm talking about.
Still, there is no need to be hating a persons dad.Food Chain number = 4

I think the worst someone has said is that they aren't actually that famous. Not really an insult is it? You could do a lot worse than 'post-apocalyptic Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen'.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Balls to that. There are between 12 and 26 Bin Laden kids (according to the always reliable Wikipedia) and I will happliy say that I hate the dad of every one of the bleeders.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

A thread where opinion has split 50/50 down the middle with people disagreeing on bikeradar... whatever is the world coming to?
yes that's my dad, fairly certain it's come up before.
do I think he's 'famous' probably not in the tabloid sense of the word. but he does get 'spotted' whenever he's in the UK (it's happened lots when I've met up with him for beers) and at one point his show was the highest rated on the discovery home & leisure channel. if the economy hadn't have tanked after his second series I'm sure he'd be much more prevalent on tv than he is at the moment (there were plenty of meetings with the big 4 to do stuff on some very well known shows that sadly never came to fruition).
To me (and him) he's just doing the same stuff he was doing before he lucked into a chance to film a couple of tv series. the guy on the screen is the guy he is in real life although he does seem to try not to talk with as gruff an essex accent as he normally does.
to answer the person above Quest channel have bought the rights to his show now so you'll likely find him on there. sunday was 'salvager day' so not sure if they'll show them again so soon after but they'll definitely be on again.Hat + Beard0 -
