Originally posted by Ivor1He seemed a nice guy just like he was when on telly i.e still totally hyper, big smile on his face, it cant be natural. He gave me his 'Mr Motivator' business card before I had said I recognised him think he was testing the waters to see if people still remebered him. He said he lives in Jamica most of the year luck bugger.
Lucky bugger indeed - my brother landed a 2 year contract in Jamaica which he started 2 months ago. Spends his weekends in Montego Bay.
Grrrr

Originally posted by MarillionFanThough then again, I did get a mention on Watchdog many many moons ago about British Gas. They featured a story about a disabled women who had her gas cut off for non-payment and how outraged the husband was. There was a whole raft of different complaints. They apologised for cutting the chap and his wife off and said it had been a mistake and on part of a disgruntled ex-employee!!!
Disgrunted! Too right. He was the rudest most abusive guy ever. He was swearing and shouting down the phone to me. The guy was a stock broker and reckoned he new the then ceo. When he said to me 'You listen to me boy, I earn more in one day than you earn in a year!! When I talk you listen. UNDERSTAND!!!!', I wrote his account number down and on the day I left, had the c-nt cut off. He owed 3grand and if he was so rich he should have fckin paid it!!!!

Once got in a tube with Ken Livingstone and had a chat for a good 15 minutes about the up and coming general election(before they won). I told him that they had a snowballs chance in hell and would never win.
After the election I saw him being interviewed and he made a reference to our meeting when he described how he had met a sceptical voter on the tube who said they wouldnt win.

Originally posted by Ivor1I met the one and only Mr Motivator 'come on work it'
He got on at Wembley and started talking to me I thought it was him but didnt like to say just in case it wasnt, he then got his card out just after Finchley road and told me 'you have been talking to Mr Motivator'.
That is really cool!!! I would have been chuffed to bits with that celeb spot!

I saw Mr Motivator getting on a bus in Camden about 4 years ago. It was about midnight and to give him credit, out of all the other goths, smackheads and stoners in sight he was easily the most motivated.

He was going on about earning 40k a year, and all this.. when i left work one day at 6 in the morning i saw him driving off in his ford fiesta..
.. come to think of it, the same guy used a shunter, to pick up a Lorry Trailor i was working in and drove off around the complex with me and another guy in it. *cough*tosser

And part of me thinks, what sort of tosser thinks of doing that?!
