Efesters & Glasto goers, have you done anything to make yourself famous enough to be in the Daily Mail, tabloids, National Geographic, Six O’Clock News or even made it on to Wikipedia???

Although you have never sought fame you are very famous in the land of efestivals. If there was an efestivals Pyramid stage lineup then you would be this years Diana Ross

This will take some beating, as i've been an extra in a number of TV adaptations of the books written by the German author Rosamunde Pilcher, that were filmed here in Devon...

...but still yet to spot myself in an episode. Not that I've searched.

Very kind words OG. I'll take being likened to Diana Ross any day - and quite a few nights too!

My wife was in Hello magazine a few years ago. She did a charity walk on the Great Wall of China and there was a celebrity on the trip with a photographer. There was no restriction on taking pictures of and with this person but they were asked not to post any on Facebook until the article was published. 

my grandad has a page on Wikipedia, he was a footballer in the 1930s, he also features on a documentary about a London club.

oh and I’m in an episode of Top Gear for about half a second.

There was a short lived Scottish quiz show for kids called Red Amber Green that I was on and I was interviewed by Newsround about a shit animation I was doing for the Millennium Dome but I was very much a child star and there has been no interest since I've grown up.

That's some accolade. I'd be well happy with that.
