But, as they say, One Door Closes As Another Door opens.
Which is bobbins, coz I just closed the kitchen door after getting my calorie counted sushi (not killer sushi though) and all the other doors that were shut remained closed.
Anyhoo, as I check my massages, I spy with my soon-to-be-reglassed-with-red-trim-coz-that's-the-only-style-they-got-in-specsavers eye, a posting from Mouseturd TV.
They're looking for LOCAL presenters to present LOCAL stuffs on LOCAL freeview (channel 8) come March!
So I've applieded to be a telly man! (Don't worry Tubbs, Xym won't get far...)
Can you imagine that - Xym on the telly! I won't be a short fat gothboy with preposterous hair, ludicrous shades, occasional crainial adornment, diverse accoutréments and a ridiculous 'tashe any more. oh no.
I'd be a short fat gothboy with preposterous hair, ludicrous shades, occasional crainial adornment, diverse accoutréments and a ridiculous 'tashe off the telly!
So, my CV, with accompanying portraiture captured by imps in the devil box hath been submitted, with the following begging letter:
Hello!
I saw your request on that there Facebook for LOCAL presentery type peoples, and would like to be considered.
I've lived in Norwich since 1988 (does 26 years of Norwich dwellance of my agéd 44 qualify as local), but I do love the place.
I've not done any actual presenting type stuffs, but I have performed before camera before, and am currently looking for a new direction (having recently being made all redundancised from Aviva), and I'm being encouraged to "Go For It" as apparently it'd be "right up my street".
Which is handy, because my street IS local! And apparently, I have a quite distinct, unique look that draws attention and makes me stand out.
I've attached my somewhat bobbins Actorial CV which has a page of visual representations captured on camera. Unfortunately (or thankfully, depending on your POV) I have no video of my sparking charm & twinkling personality due to an ex throwing out all me old VHSs coz it was VHS and therefore old.
Let me know what you think, and if I has a chance at more fame Local Fame (rather that just "That bloke with the glasses, stylish hats & 'tashe", I could be "That bloke with the glasses, stylish hats & 'tashe off the telly!". or something.)
Many thanks for the opportunity,
Xymon Owain
(for ease of pronounciation, just call me Simon. Most call simply me The Xym (The Sim))
I think that fairly encapsulates the essence of what you gets with The Xym!
Xym. On telly. Oh dear...
