   I don't post much of my successes etc here or whatever but today I   
   just had to share a priceless success (?).   
      
   It is the long lost letter of Rik Mayall, which went unanswered for 5   
   years.  I got it back today.  Before I tell you what happened, let me   
   say that 5 years ago Rik was supposed to have been in Harry Potter. It   
   started as a rumor and then some sites had it as fact and then some   
   said he was canned, or that they cut him or that there were "other"   
   problems.  So he never materialized in the film.  In truth, the   
   character he was supposed to be wasn't in the film at all.  At the   
   time, I thought he may have been in cut scenes and wrote awaiting the   
   DVD or something (forget now) or hoping for an explanation etc.  It   
   never came... till today   
      
   Rik signed the photos I sent and wrote on one (it was a dark image)   
   and he wrote: you can't see Rik's autograph on this because it's too   
   dark... but the other one is the priceless one.   
      
   he wrote:  Rik Mayall was not in this Fuc&ing film!! So Fuc* 'em!! (Go   
   see Bottom instead).  LOL  I am not taking it badly; on the letter he   
   apologized for the delay of 5 years and told me I wrote the letter on   
   his birthday and added "weird..." so he was very nice there.  I think   
   it's hilarious and I hope he realizes it was such a big rumor at the   
   time and that yes, I did realize he wasn't in it anywhere when I   
   finally got to see the uncut parts.
