Erm, Lewis Carroll and Alan Moore!
Part of the decision behind me moving to Guildford was based around Lewis Carroll being buried here! I refuse to read any Terry Pratchett work because he hates Alice In Wonderland!

I would murder for Alan Moore if he asked me. I went to see Watchmen just to be a prick about it! Twice! I'm sure there are people now who hate me for ruining the film for them. But to be honest Snyder did a better job than I ever could have! I also hold a huge love for Batman, part of the reason The Killing Joke gets me so worked up, even now!

Still the stupidest thing I've ever done when it comes to being a stupid fan?

1990 I am 5. Steve Bull is playing for England. My Dad having been at school with him ( a year or two above I think ) takes me to a poster signing at a sports shop somewhere, the details escape me. My Dad walks in with me and says

"Alright Bully?"

To which he replies "Alright Paul!"

I'm shocked, Steve Bull the legend, the hero to my tiny five year old head. Do I go into shock? No, I speak to my hero, he's just flesh and blood like me!

"My Dad said he used to play football with you"

Bully looks at me and smiles

"He did, we used to play at school"

People in the queue look at my Dad and roll their eyes, Bully blushes a little but keeps smiling.

"And he used to beat you!"

Bully bursts out laughing, my Dad shuffles nervously and the queue giggle like children.

As punishment he kept my signed poster and put it up on his wall, but to be honest I think he'd have done that even if I'd kept my big mouth shut!

Oh yeah
I have the latin at the end of Watchmen forever scarred ( as my Mother says ) onto my arm too.
