Never Meet Your HeroesThey're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Thelma Barlow and Alan BennettI used to go drinking with mates at a pub in Settle, North Yorkshire. One night Thelma Barlow (Mavis off Corrie) and Alan Bennett walks in. Thelma's doing the whole mwaa mwaa thing on the cheeks of freeloaders whilst Alan is stood away looking bemused, obviously coming up with a new play about vacuousness of celebrity or something. He was supping a pint and looking a little phased by it all...
Oh and Kevin out of Corrie's dad used to drink in my local. He was a really decent bloke that you could have a natter with until some brainless slapper would push you out of the way and say "Aren't you Kevin's dad?"
I once met Fish and congratulated him on a good gig. He said "Cheers..."
Actually, these stories are a bit boring but I made a resolution this year to try and respond to QOTWs...
