the christening tree
a couple of years ago, i went to the christening of my mate ste's niece. i'd never been to that particular church before. he said he wanted me to go just to see if i actually burst into flame when i walked into a holy building.
standing in the churchyard, i saw a tree. it was a fantastic old tree, the kind you wish to find when you're a kid, great for tree houses and swings. looking up at it, i said "i'd love to climb that thing, i bet it'd be great!"
ste's mum, who i'd never met before, walked past me at that moment and said "you must be stephen's friend."
i don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but his family now all think i'm mental.

yes, it's a crap story, but it's all i've got and i've been travelling for 28 hours, so give me a break.

You went to a church,
and didn't climb a tree? Epic.

if my mate's family weren't there, i would have climbed it.

Then what would have happened?

Hollywood is getting collectively moist
at the thought of turning this into a film.

Rivetting stuff
is much easier at a workbench than in a tree.
