Boyfriend on the box
My boyfriend sings with one of the BBC choirs and therefore appears on TV quite a lot during the Proms season. For those who don't know, that's a large classical music festival that runs from mid July to the beginning of September in the Albert Hall and is televised.

He's been in the choir for years and years and has appeared in more televised concerts than you can shake a stick at but you know the first thing he does when he gets home from a televised concert? He runs through the recording to spot when he's on camera.

"Oh look, there's me! And me again! Look!"

I wouldn't mind so much except that I've been to most of these concerts and although the camera has panned over my bit of the audience, I'm invisble.

The worst time was when he sang on Maestro and I had a guest ticket for a seat in a private "box" (scaffolding covered over with wood and cloth).

I was behind a bloody curtain.
