This isnt a story about my fanaticisms but of my twin brothers.

A few months back, I found myself in a wonderful position whereby I had the opportunity to meet the Author, Broadcaster, funny man and good guy - Danny Wallace. Infact I won the tickets to the launch party of his new book.

Of course I like the guy and his books but in comparison to my twin brother, im just a casual reader. My brother is a HUGE fan of his.

Almost immediately I offered the ticket to my bro but to my amazement he declined! He couldnt get out of work! Such a shame but never mind, Ill ask the missus Blades if she wants to go, she might enjoy it! She gleefully accepted.

Fast forward a week and my brother has gone to extrodianry lengths to get the night off work; paying and training a freelancer to work for the night. Just so he could meet Danny Wallace.

Needless to say, I gave him the ticket and we went to the launch and had a great time. We saw Danny drinking a glass of wine, decided it was a bit gay, and took him over a bottle of beer and a Sambuca chaser. A night of hilarity and debauchery ensued.

Problem was, I'd forgotten to give the missus the memo and had left her waiting outside the bar for a few hours without a ticket to get in.

I Spent a week in the doghouse for that one!
