My Star Wars Confession…

I’ve told on many occasions about how my adoration of Star Wars began when I was 4 years old and my dad took me to watch ‘A New Hope’ at the local flix in 1977.

Well that is true…kind of. What I always neglect to mention is that it was actually the second time I went, that I grew to fall in love with the film.

The first time my dad took me, instead of simply enjoying the film, I decided to busy myself by being such an obnoxious mini uber-twunt of weapons-grade proportions that being strung up by the larger of my testicles out in the street and pinata’d ‘Mussolini’ style would’ve been too good for me.

I don’t know why I did it…my only defence is that I was only 4…and I’ve always been a bit of a shitbag…but the whole Star Wars saga began for my dad & I like this:

“Daaaaaaad I need a weeeeeeeee…Daaaaaaaaad I need a peepeeee. Daaaaaaaad Can I go to the toilet?...Daaaaaad I need another Weeeeee” etc et-fucking cetera.

About 150 times. For the whole film in fact. As soon as we had got back from the toilets, I whined to go again. Just to push my poor, patient dad to breaking point.

At no time did I actually need a wee.

Dad, I’m sorry.

Additional: please feel free to gloss over the list of my favourite films below, because I’m such a common-as-muck populist arse-biscuit that I’m pretty sure they’ve ALL been mentioned already.

@baz...

It was an accident...

But I kinda like it, so I've left it.
