I have things published in papers but not been pictured and not been on the telly.
I did meet my fave band and have photos (which I'd waited many years to get!!) last year which are scattered online.
Does that count??? |

Mr GR has been on the Really Wild Show, there was piranhas and Michaela Strachan work her shirt undone quite a few buttons, that's all he remembers though.
I've had a book published and met quite a few famous people at conventions.
