Never Meet Your Heroes
They'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.

(1) Once saw Peter Kay in Asda. I stalked the bloke around the frozen peas and then finally worked up the nerve to go say hello. Held my phone up in front of him for a minute or two before finally managing to squeak out 'Can I take your picture with this?' only for him to say 'I think so, it has a camera'. Me I'm just happy so I take his pic and start walking away. He says 'Do you want my PIN too?' and a few weeks later he makes the same joke on Phoenix Nights DVD commentry. Only then did I get it though...
(2) I'm at a corporate gig and Blue appear. I hand around my glossy programmy type thing for them to sign and see that there is apparently an extra member of Blue, Claire Sweeney.
Ruined the mag, that did. Binned it as I left. Claire Sweeney!! Who does she think she is?!
