macboll Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Here's what I found in the Daily Mail online tonight. They briefly talk about Mika, more about Adele or One Direction but I thought it might cheered up our British friends on the MFC http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2464691/Adele-thanks-driving-instructor-stars-didnt-know-SANG-wheel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 How does he get all these clients when he has no idea what they are? Honestly if I met someone in Britain who was so clued out that they didn't know who Adele was I even after she explained it, I don't think I'd trust their driving.

HE'S HEARD OF MIKA! *KACHING* "Mika was hilarious, and he eats like a horse for someone so small. He always had a sandwich". Yep. That's Mika ♥ ♥ ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 YES! HE'S HEARD OF MIKA! No he didn't know who Mika was either. It says the driving instructor didn't realize Mika was in showbusiness until they got to talking. This whole story is about how this guy has famous clients but has no idea they are famous until they tell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macboll Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Well, that's the Daily Mail or Daily Fail as one of my dear oldlings calls it or the Daily Merde as I call it Just a tabloid but read by lots of people . And they mentioned Mika (he's hardly in the papers in the UK) and it was just an anecdote (fictional or true, that's the question ) but at last, he was mentioned and in a not negative way (with thi:fisch:s paper, you're either praised or doomed. If I saw one of these celebrities at work, wearing normal clothes, without bogyguards and paparazzi, I would probably fail to recognise them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks really young and unglamorous when she has no makeup on and her hair pulled back. But he says that she was singing her songs and he still couldn't recognize them. I mean come on, I can't even go into a coffee shop for 5 minutes without hearing Adele. Even if he doesn't listen to the radio or pay any attention at all to pop culture I don't know how it's possible for a 45 year old man living in the London area to have never heard one of her songs.

You're right. If she sings in the car and if he knows her name, he should have recognised her . That's the DM If some readers google Mika and find out his other albums, that's positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I wouldn't recognise the celebs. I wouldn't recognise Mika either, in ordinary clothes and if his head was covered by a hood. But once he spoke I'd know him. I use hair, and voice, as a means of recognising people because I can't recognise anyone by their face alone. I have Prosopagnosia (face recognition blindness) I can't even recognise my own family by their faces. When my son first went to the nursery I worried that when I went to pick him up, I wouldn't be able to tell him apart from the other brown-haired boys in the room. But my Mum assured me that he'd recognise me, and he did of course. Anyway, it's great to see that Mika got a mention. Pity they don't write about him stealing the show in Italy.
