I really hope you enjoyed reading this, it took me at least three days to come up with things, edit it and write it all in. I also had to research a lot of stuff so it wasn't inaccurate. I did enjoy writing it though. Let me know what you think in the comments or message me if you like, I have been thinking about this for a while. Also if you give me a vote that would be much appreciated. Apologies if the writing does look weird on some of it, I did do the television appearances in a table and I don't think it has transferred well.
Thanks
