Earlier this week, Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi was doing a booksigning in the city. So I went, I bought the book, I got him to sign it, and then I grinned cheekily and produced The Book and The Crayons. I actually explained the challenge to him as well, I'm not sure why, I just did. Him and his little entourage thought it was pretty cool. And when I told them that I'd got DC and Jenson's autographs their jaws all dropped (even Shola, haha). Which was cool. He was pretty friendly. It was all very random though!

Next week: Danny Wallace in Birmingham. Then it's the final golden 5... exciting!!
