Meeting random people

I am the 776th person to be “Arthured”.  Let me explain.

I heard about the film-maker and performer Anna Black’s rather curious quest the other day – to travel the country getting photos of around two thousand people with a signed photo of Allo Allo star Arthur Bostrum.

It’s part of her campaign to raise awareness of M.E. – the link between M.E. and the photo of Mr Bostrum is something of a long and tenuous story, and interesting though it is, it’s Anna’s to tell so I’ll not attempt it.

A sucker for silly projects myself, I was intrigued to see that she and her partner in crime Maz were in the highlands, and so I offered to meet them.  I caught up with them just earlier this evening as they were passing through Inverness, and got my photo taken with the photo of Arthur Bostrum.  As you do.

They’ve notched up some weird and wonderful people on their travels, and it was fantastic to hear more about their stories, including how they managed to “Arthur” the likes of Danny Wallace and David Icke.

You can see Anna “signed photograph” page, and follow her blog, to keep up with the mission.
