The Goldspinks Going Up in the World!

Look, I know we’ve all done it. Whether in a moment of pure boredom or simly as curiosity, we’ve all put our names into google to see what comes. I’ve done it several times (mainly to see if my website was at the top of google – it is now!) I also did it a while ago on my blog and discovered i was featured on several porn sites (see here). Anyway, I thought I’d try and find out whether there are any interesting Goldspinks in the world (apart from myself). I only know of a few relatives called Goldspink, we’re a pretty rare bunch, but some of us have been making a name for ourselves!!! Here’s a little look at the Goldspink’s that have gone somewhere in the world!

  • First up is Calvin Goldspink – former member of that rockin pop kiddy fest better known as S-Club 8. Turns out he’s launching a solo project soon. I don’t know where we’re joined on the family tree, but he must be some sort of relative
  • Next up on the celeb list is Sebastian Goldspink who may be familiar to the few of you cool enough to have watched Heartbreak High when it was on. He’s been in a TV series in 2004
  • according to imdb.com but thats about it

  • Let’s move towards politics and our lesser known Communist Canadian relative Frank Goldspink. Seems he ran for the leadership but only got 25 votes (obviously not too popular then!)
  • Our next political related entry is Councillor Stephen Goldspink from Peterborough! It’s quite weird how a year or so ago Peterborough meant nothing to me, but now I know Hannah there and Will was there all last year, and now Councillor Goldspink’s there until 2008!
  • Wahey, my first blood relative! My uncle Rob. He’s a very successful lawyer & a really a nice guy! There was random moment in the summer when Amandine said she’d read a law paper by a Goldspink and I figured out it was him!
  • Next up Professor Geoffrey Goldspink who has contributed to a very interesting article on msn on “The Zero-Minute Workout – Cheat your way to a great body!”
  • Finally, we’ll finish with (in my opinion) the greatest Goldspink! So far he has featured in several major stage productions (including Shakespeare’s Tempest), he has also won several awards for contributions to the world. It is of course me! I haven’t really done much for the world, except graced it’s front cover. But I’ll keep you all posted when i move up

    What Matt failed to mention is that I do indeed personally know one of the aforementioned prosperous Goldspinks (check out my long words!). Namely mr Steve Goldspink the councillor. Wow knowing two Goldspinks inmy life- what more could I ask for?? x
