M1 psychopath
So there we were sitting still in the fast lane of the M1 in the 1993 Friday night traffic. My friend's Fiesta on the way from Coventry to North Wales via his brother's place in Nottingham. Eventually the traffic starts moving and my find tries to find a gear. Any gear. Please? Just first gear for now would be nice. No? Really? Shit. We're broken down in the dark in the fast lane of the M1 aren't we?
Suddenly, from nowhere there's a car pulling in in front of us. A seemingly sensible adult in a suit is barking instructions at us. "You! Tie this rope to your car! You (me) - take this small plastic orange triangle and stand in the oncoming traffic in the pitch dark in the fast lane of the M1!"
So that's what we did. This maniac towed us across 3 lanes of traffic to the nearest emergency phone and with a flourish handed us his card which read something along the lines of "Damsels rescued, Dragons slain, Good deeds done".
Nutter. Kind nutter, but nutter nonetheless.

» Look! It's me in the Local Paper
Oh the shame...
Much as I try to block this from my memory, my "friends" keep it alive.
Many moons ago in my misguided youth (about 15 I guess) I had a collection of Coca-Cola cans and memorabilia (work with me), and my sister's best friend's mum was head reporter on the local paper The Rhyl Journal. A combination to be wary of kids.
It must have been a slow news week when they decided to put me on the front cover with the headline (this is the killer...) "CANNY MATT IS COKE MAD!"
I'm sure my mum still has the cutting but I've burned all other remaining evidence.

My good lady wife...
...was in teh video for a failed comeback attempt from former Bros-ster and reality-tv cook Matt Goss.
The most worrying part is that she actually travelled several hundred miles with that express purpose in mind...
