Never Meet Your HeroesThey're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Orange Is Not The Only FruitWe went to see Julian Clary launch his autobiography at the National Theatre a while back. He did a book-signing afterwards. Lovely, charming man.
A few places in front of us? Judith Chalmers. She just queued up with everyone else. Well done, travel-lady.
We also went to a Clement Freud book-signing. the wife asked him to write "Love Clement Freud" and he refused. Point-blank. Not a nice man. Funny man, but not terribly pleasant.
We went to see Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure at the Riverside Studios before he took it to Edinburgh and then went global with it. Got him to sign a copy of "Are You Dave Gorman?" afterwards. I complimented him on fitting such a great story into 90 minutes. He looked panicked: "Don't say that! Edinburgh have told me I can only have 80 minutes and mustn't over-run!". Top bloke.
