Eeek

Remember the reporter who rang M up and found out about the Perth guy who plays computer games with his wife?

In today’s Sydney Morning Herald: Hooked on real-time games, indeed.

Is this what they mean by fifteen minutes of fame – having your names emblazoned in a major newspaper? I’m just glad they didn’t take any pictures…

My current reaction is amusement, tinged with mortification. Excuse me while I go and cuddle Baubles the Cat.

An ok article, but still too artificially balanced I thought.

Was funny to open the paper yesterday morning and see your name in there 😉

CW 16 January 2006

Thanks Mooiness 🙂

Fiona, I can imagine how funny that must have been – we found it amusing, and that was even though we had forewarning!

Hi
Well you know that really large photo that went with the article. That is me and Rob, my husband.
Here I was thinking it was going to be in a dusty little corner of Icon or somewhere else no one reads. Page 3, Eeek!! indeed.

My Mum flicking through the paper, first thought was “I know that tattoo”…dead proud she is 😉

Wow, hello Cozalcoatl! Pleased to make your acquaintance 🙂 Now I can truly say I know a celebrity…

Maybe I should tell my Mum about the article…

I received a copy of the article (page from the paper copy) today – thanks to Cherryripe. That’s a good picture of you and your husband, and I like the wine glass! 🙂
