...Why not try http://www.unionjackforbarack.blogspot.com instead?
My challenge to try and meet the 500 famous individuals you see listed at the bottom of this page during the last 6 months of 2005 as part of a bet with my friend Michael (see picture in the top left) is obviously now at an end.
A hell of a lot has happened since then, England failed to win the World Cup (but have another crack this year), an idiot barbecued himself at Glasgow airport, Mel Gibson was taken off the Bahmitzvah speech circuit, most of the world might lose its job, a young girl was kidnapped in Portugal, North Korea can now fire nukes and I can't smoke in public (just as well I've given up then).
As far as this bet was concerned, amazingly enough this website won an award 
from Yahoo, which may be hard to believe, it is to me, I scruffily appeared on several national and local TV news programmes and much of what used to be written on here now forms the core of this non-award winning book,
which you may decide to order from here: Greeting the 500 at AMAZON.
Anyway, I have left up some of the FAQ's that were put to me back in 2005 (see 'categories' on the left). I know that the several thousands pounds that was raised for the RNIB by the project has helped a number of people with ocular impairments, as I've been informed as much, so it wasn't all in vain.
So basically cheers to everyone who was involved including some of the following:
