Wow,they're really going to town on Celebdaq with CFA. Marli's doing a star turn, talking about bedroom pressures!!! Looks like David Ginola is going and the bloke from Casualty whose name I cant pronounce, let alone spell.
Marli, of course, thinks its going to be a damp squib-"Big Brother-lite" according to her, well that's probably because she's not in it,
Also Will Mellor (Hollyoaks),Paul Ross(yuk), Jo Brandt, Ulrika and Ruby Wax. With Fearne already confirmed, there's's only one left.
I'll just keep my eyes on David Ginola I think.

(She hasn't got a clue how to play Celebdaq though- her shares are all on celebs who are on the slide. Good job she isn't going into finance. Her idea of what constitutes celeb news isn't exactly spot on)

oh - I thought this was a repeat or I would have posted this message.

I watched this episode at dinnertime on the CelebDaq website - does that mean I watched an episode that hadn't yet been aired??

The Richard & Judy thread says "Casualty's Will Mellor...".
So is he in Hollyoaks AND Casualty?
Or is he the one in Casualty whose name you think you can't spell? (Perhaps you mean his character name?)
(I've never heard of Will Mellor - I'm just trying to count up.)

Answered that part myself, by Googling Will Mellor.

He is/ was in both Hollyoaks & Casualty.
I didn't like the look of the half-naked online pics.
But I've just realised it said he is/was also in 2 pints of lager & a packet of crisps.
So was he the 2nd lead?
(I know the lead's Ralf Little, out of The Royle Family.)

Has he released a single?

"Like many UK soap stars, he also tried his hand at becoming a pop star in 1998. Although he was soon back on the small screen."

Perhaps he WROTE a song?<http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/0006170/details.html> says:

More answers (sorry this isn't on an ideal thread): <http://www.casualty.me.uk/characters/Jack/actor.shtml> says:
"STUDIED : Julie Beach School of Dance and Drama"
"MUSICAL CAREER: Has released two singles; 'When I Need You' which reached No.5 in February 1998 and 'No Matter What I Do' which reached No.23 in June 1998. On his music career, 'I got out of the record company in 1998 because they wouldn't let me do my own music. I would love to release another record, but it would have to be the right deal. Music is my passion and I'm still writing.'"

Sounds the ideal candidate for CFA then. Just a shame that Pam won't be there to help with the writing .

Though it might seem a bit odd if some of them are taking it seriously and others just there for a laugh &/or to encourage fundraising....
And it might not seem 'fair' to the others to expect them to 'compete' against someone who's already had a number 5 hit....

Well it didn't harm Mark Owen or Claire Sweeney did it? Risky thing these Celeb versions. I wonder how you know if you're going to be a Claire or a Vanessa Feltz, a Mark or a Les Dennis?
The bloke from Casualty is Kwame Kwel-Armeh. I dont watch the show so thank goodness for the RT.

AJ if you were doing your job properly, then I could have had a proper transcript of Celebdaq yesterday and not had to watch the repeat.
Lovely to have you back!

LOL - I only joined CelebDaq today - after many months of "I'll get round to joining eventually" I have been so out-of-touch with work, that I didn't even know there was a Celeb FA until I watched CelebDaq online today - if I hadn't suddenly decided today to join CelebDaq then I probably wouldn't have ever known about Celeb FA - until it was almost half-way through....

Anyways I guess my RealityTV Group on yahoo could do with a re-design in preperation for the big event eh?

Shall i archive the original FA files??

Absolutely. Get it up and running again. There's poor people like OB who haven't been able to access the files, but at least you've let her in now. I think yours is the only one with the 18minute Bad Bad Butcher version.
I'm NEARLY a millionaire on Celebdaq! Backed Whacko and Becks at the right time!

Lucky you!! I need to get in there and have a re-jig to include my fav CFA contestants. I've Becks on my books too and also Sinead who in the last week has been gaining quite nicely.

Have you ever won any REAL money on it?
(I've not joined - or not yet....
It sounded time-consuming unless I was going to make any REAL money - I gather someone wins £100 each week?
But do the winners have to agree to Publicity?
I have family who'd be very embarrassed by that -
I'd need to find a way to stay incognito!)

(Perhaps I could borrow what we hope is You Know Who's WIG...!)

This IS turning into a Celebdaq thread! No, dont want any publicity, so all my money's virtual! And, besides, there's people on there with squillions, yachts, cars and everything.
Now if it was the lottery and I'd won, I might have my mug in the paper, but there again, No-too many begging letters


I've got myself 5000 shares in Ulrika though. She's bound to make an idiot of herself with one of the blokes. As long as she leaves DG alone!!

I wouldn't bother wasting money on celeb FA students until later in the week and after the show starts as they are unlikely to get that much press until then. I'm keeping my money in the highest mover (which was J-Lo this morning) until tomorrow at least when I invest for full dividend payouts -not sure who to go for this week though - there hasn't really been a big Becks/ Jacko style celeb story this week.

I am on my 6th million now - got a swanky red car next to my portfolio this morning! (Sorry to ramble slightly but I discovered celebdaq from the link on the old FA website before christmas so have always had them linked in my mind somehow -therefore I was quite excited to see a mention of it on here!)

Have YOU ever won any REAL money on it?
I'm fascinated, now I 'know' some people who've fathomed the rules!
Did either of you know anything about Shares etc before?
Is it easy to get the hang of?

Have a go OB. It's only a bit of fun, addictive for us nerds though. And no, I have no idea about shares and stockmarkets. I have got a wealth of knowledge of Celebs though, due to waiting around for hours to see hospital consultants
I think I've read every Hello and OK magazine ever printed! Which is all you need.
Forget the impending war in Iraq, J-Lo's bum is far more important

It's pretty hard to actually win any real money on Celebdaq OB. There is apparently a prize of £100 awarded to the person at the top of the leaderboard each week but as I have never been higher than 450 in the players chart this has never really been of much concern to me!
I had absolutely no idea about stock and shares before I started playing celebdaq and therefore for the first few weeks I was actually making a loss!!! However once I began to understand how the dividends work I began to make some profits! All you really have to do is place your money in the highest mover until tuesday mornings when you buy shares in the celeb who you believe has had the most media coverage that week and will therefore give you the most rewards in the Friday dividend payout. Repeat the formula week after week and you can't fail to make (imaginary) money.
You should defintitely give it a go OB although I do warn you - it does become highly addictive!!

I'm in total agreement with cathraff's comments OB, but would add another warning - just when you think you're in sight of the 'prize' you find they've taken away all but £10 000 of your hard earned millions and converted it into uninspiring icons. So then it's back to square one and working your way up the board again. That's what comes of failing to read the 'small print' - I should have learnt by now!

Highest chart position to date #201

I'm not posting mine -it's too embarrassing, certainly not in cathraffs or geilo's exalted earnings!

I see they've added all the Celeb FA lot onto the board. David Ginola's there so WHAT is all the mystery about? Why can't they announce him as a definite and let all us females look forward to his participation?
I'm even prepared to let Mr P watch him with an eagle eye, to see if he is indeed a 'himbo'

Am I the only one on here who find David Ginola very unattractive?

I think it was the shampoo ads what done it!

Be a dull world if we all fancied the same sort wouldn't it?

Plant,
are you Female, or Male?

I am so insulted!!

What do you think?
