Stardom (slightly)

OK, I have now seen the Press article (page three, no less!) and, well, I think you'll agree, it's a very attractive photograph. I've saved a copy of the online version - you can see it by clicking here. In the next day or two we'll replace it with a scan of the newspaper article - somehow, newsprint just looks funnier, don't you think?

Not a bad article, really, but it's a shame there was no mention of the contest or of the support from Funkate. We told them all about it, honest!

It is done.

I have just spent a rather ridiculous twenty minutes with a very nice photographer from the local paper. He showed me the photos he liked best and, well, let's just say there's a comedy fake arrow and a silly facial expression involved.

I don't know when our story's being published though. It's probably better that way.

Rather entertainingly, though, I went into the Yorkshire Museum on the way, to buy a small wooden sword. The salesperson asked if I wanted a carrier bag, and I replied "No thank you - I need to brandish it now."

That's the kind of conversation that I wish I had more of.
