15 minutes of fame

The starangest thing has happened to Laura and I over the past week, Its been a bit surreal and pretty mind blowing.

 

 

It's been an interesting 8 days. Starting off last Tuesday with a text to the Metro newspaper that someone sent in about us and how we say goodbye to each other at London Bridge station. This prompted a few responses throughout the week which ended up with Laura and I appearing literally all over the global media. Yesterday we became headline news appearing on the front page of the Daily Mail online, we were talked about on BBC breakfast news, Loose Women and a whole host of radio phone ins. Then it went viral and by last night thousands of people were commenting on us as we appeared in newspapers and websites right across the planet. People from New York City to Dubai to Melbourne were talking about us and sending us messages (both good and bad). Facebook and Twitter went mental and by ten o’clock this morning if you Google our names together we took up not 11 results but the first 11 pages!!!

 

 

Things are starting to ease off a bit now and the 15 minutes of fame is coming to an end - although there are still more journalists who keep wanting to interview us. We think that some of the comedy news programs may still pick up on things such as Russell Howard, Mock the Week, Have I got News for You and Graham Norton so we are just waiting and seeing what happens. Its been quite a nice feeling despite some very nasty comments publicly said about us but we knew that we were going to be in the public eye and so have taken the rough with the smooth.

 

 

To see any of the articles just Google David Walker Laura O'Meara without quote marks and see for yourself. However, the photo's were all done for camera and we are note entirely like that at the station.....Honest :-)
