£20,000,000 autograph
I took my son to Sunshine yesterday. I introduced him to Alex Garland and reminded him of when we were at Stonehenge and he said he was like ‘that Alex guy’. They talked about computer games for a bit. My son was amazed that an adult knew about Mario…
He went around getting various people’s autographs- actors and crew- then drawing a picture and signing his autograph for them. Just before we left he asked Alex for his. Alex signed his name a few times then chose the one he thought was the best autograph, then drew a rocket. My son asked him if he drew comics when he was a kid so Alex drew Judge Dredd…
Then my son asked producer Andrew Macdonald for his autograph. Andrew said, ‘I only sign cheques.’… so Alex drew a cheque for £20,000,000 made out to my son… and Andrew signed it.
We gathered our things together to leave and my son said, ‘Bye, famous people’ and we left.

Sheesh, don’t these film guys know anything? I’ll bet they’ll be completely surprised when they find that bank account 19974992 has been totally emptied, like 400 times over – lucky they’re with Coutts – they’ve got loads of cash just lying around. And it’s a good job you’ve got Dredd on your side.
You gotta teach these guys about the inkerwebnets, gia.
ps i love that your anti-spam makes me do arithmetic.
Heh. If you look closely you can see that I actually altered the sort code and account number… I’m no dummy.
But…hmmmmmm… Is it true that you can write a cheque on *anything*? If I suddenly disappear and shortly after you read in the papers that Danny Boyle’s film wasn’t able to be completed because they ran out of money… don’t say a word to anyone… ;)
The math-based anti-spam has worked a treat. I was getting bombarded with crap last week… and now… nothing.
Oh, Gia, you are so lucky! Beautiful family, exciting life! You have it all, girl! Did your son met actor Cillian Murphy?
Hiya!!! Nice to see you here!
No, he didn’t meet Cillian. Cillian was in the next day… He did get a great picture of himself drawn by Troy Garity though… :)
Still, lucky kid!
Sounds good.
