Never Meet Your HeroesThey're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

To be fair to Terry PratchettIt's not exactly difficult to get his signature, seeing as how he seems to spend most of his time on book signing tours. I went to one once, and the bloke in front of me (who was German, not that it really matters) had a bag containing hardback copies of every single Terry Pratchett book published up to that point (about 20), and wanted them all signed. While he was doing that, we chatted about some nonsense - the strangeness of conspiracy theories, I think.
I met Michael Palin at another book signing, and apologised for being too poor to actually buy his book. He signed the piece of paper I proffered "Piss off. Yours sincerely, Michael Palin." I just about died from laughing. I think he was quite glad when I left.
