    Mystery fat bloke becomes TV news star

    A mystery man has been spotted appearing in the background at numerous news events across the UK. Have you seen him too?









    He hasn't gone unnoticed, and is the subject of a good deal of internet discussion...

    and now has his own Facebook page!

    I hadn't noticed but I thought this was really peculiar until I found this.

    Oh wow! Amazing how one random guy in such an odd area can end up being someone like him.
    I made a sound akin to the sound one might make if one had a chipmunk trapped in one's throat and it were screaming for help. In a good way. - Jess

    The poor chap is probably going out of his mind wondering why news reporters are stalking him.

    Maybe it was just your examples, but all those shots are of him in London...

    I heard the map of the world, from the centre outwards, goes something like this:-

    Zone 1->Zone 2->Zone 3->Heathrow->Abroad------------------------->Wales.

    Not sure how true that is though.

    In the World of TV News, there is indeed an England outside of London – it's called the Home Counties.

    Nothing after that, mind. Nothing at all.

    Good, then maybe they'll give Northern Ireland back to the Republic?

    I'm not the greatest expert on the subject of politics, but I don't think it's down to the BBC and Sky News to decide such weighty matters. The Government probably has to sort out that sort of thing.

    Maybe after North America gets given back to the native Americans.

    Being married to an Ulsterman I know quite a bit about the situation over there. How things are currently is the best possible state of play. Both sides are "sort of" happy, and therefore they aren't blowing the crap out of each other for the first time in hundreds of years. This equilibrium is working. Leave well alone.

    On another note, since when was Northern Ireland in England? Eh?

    With a name like Ian, I should have known.

    OK, no more politics for me. But religion is still fair game!!!
