Obviously I know it will never happen, but whereas other people dream about winning the lottery, having a new car or buying the house of their dreams... I dream about being the front woman of a band headlining at glastonbury Grin

I do play in a duo with DP, but so far we've not been brave enough (or able to agree on a set list) to perform properly in public (only in front of friends/family)

I just want to be Robert Plant (but not if he's the one boffing liz jones)

My DP and kids think that I'm a saddo. And they are probably right Wink

Flame me and make me bloody grow up.

The day I stop dreaming of becoming a rock star is the day I'm officially dead

thisishowifeel · 30/08/2011 19:33

I wish I was the bodyform woman...it's funny.

I've done SOOO many over the years, but you will have heard me on Real radio, Smooth radio, BBC radio Oxford, Topps tiles, Kwik save, British bookshops, Dominoes pizza, KMFM, Manx radio TVAM weather.......and loads more. Especially at the moment on Cork 96 fm. And if you have a Tesco mobile phone...that's me talking too....sorry. :)

Not glamorous but I love it!!!!!

You're going to need merchandise.

I'll man the stand.

I'm thinking t-shirts, teatowels...mooncups...

redheadbedhead · 30/08/2011 19:40

The thought of a 'Nyce Ham' (see what I did there!) mooncup made me laugh out loud!!!

And the Nice Ham haircut...we need someone to organise a self-assembly mullet.

I don't need the mullet obviously due to the top hat wearing. Would it be premature to book a spot on Jools Hollands hootenanny? I've always wanted to be on that.

I'm already thinking about the difficult second album

giyadas · 30/08/2011 19:56

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 30/08/2011 19:56

The second album will be the concept one. All MILs and BLW etc with some GCSE/Oxbridge angst thrown in.

Ahem!!

I have met Bruce Dickinson several times. I have the first baggsie on devil's horns.

He is lovely and very much a nice Dad and husband.

How about 'Nice Ham and the Howling Wolefs'

The Howling Wolefs being the backing band.

Kate Moss will want to hang out with us and Prince Harry and Gloria Hunniford and David Attenborough.

We will need fanzines. I shall call Saga magazine.

I'm laying down some riffs on my ukulele. People (well my family) are mocking me. When saga magazine come to do the shoot they'll be laughing on the other side of their faces.

On a serious note: Has anybody checked availability of Rehab Places?

Things could get sticky.

We best be prepared.

giyadas · 30/08/2011 20:41

please tell me it's one of those flying v ukulele's. I love those.

giyadas · 30/08/2011 20:42

we've made it into discussions of the day! our stars are rising already

redheadbedhead · 30/08/2011 20:43

fame is approaching!!

Suncottage · 30/08/2011 20:44

I shall watch from the stage at the people I secretly mock admire that start groovin the moment a band starts playing like a bad 80's Fame type movie.

I'm up for managing the latest supergroup Old Lamb Naice Ham.

Sign here ................ and I will ensure that you are parachuted helicoptered into capacious yurts filled with Bolly, pom bears, coke, Jo Malone candles, and all the freebies your little hearts desire at rock festivals up and down the country - and sometimes across it (for the customary fee).

Altogether now: "Nous sommes une rock star"

upahill · 30/08/2011 21:01

Shit!! I've just realized if I am going to be in a supergroup I have to do some work on my abs and get muscles in my arms!!
That means hard work before I even get on a stage!! (yikes)

I get pissed on two glasses of medium wine, how can I cope with a bottle of Jack a night.

I get travel sick so how I will I get on on the tour bus. I'll be alrlight if I can sit in the front or drive though!

Will I be back from gigs to do the school run? Confused

I clearly haven't thought this rock star business through

rhondajean · 30/08/2011 21:01

None of you are BU at all and you are all welcome as support acts when I play Wembley next year Grin

ThePathanKhansWoman · 30/08/2011 21:04

upahill jeez man, we're gonna have flunkies for the school run and such

c'mon get with the programme, we are talking The Big Time here Hmm.

upahill · 30/08/2011 21:13

God yeah,!! of course we are!!! Not thinking straight for a minute there!

giyadas · 30/08/2011 21:15

am suddenly reminded of that joke - 'I've just realised I'm too old to die tragically young' Sad
Gonna have to aim for longevity and go easy on the hellraising
