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.

Barmen meet all the BIG ones!
Doesn't get much more z-list than this...
SYD LITTLE and NORMAN COLLIER!!!!!
Norman lives just outside Hull, and bought me a brandy one Xmas day when he was having a pre Lunch drink with some cronies. I asked him to do the "chicken" and the "broken microphone" and although he told me to fuck off, he was laughing at the time, and I made sure I got the best brandy.
Syd, however was an unmitigated twunt. He had come to Beverley (outside Hull) for a folk festival, and was just generally behaving like he was the most famous person in the world. Wearing sunglasses (indoors in the north of England in fucking February!?) and drinking real ale with his little finger stuck out. I had served him 3 times and he hadn't even said thank you once. Then he tried to hit on my girlfriend whilst she was collecting glasses.
Now this was about the time that Tango had a promotion that encouraged people to "commentate on their lives" and were giving away bright orange megaphones.
So I bravely got one of these from the back office and inflated my lungs and bellowed:-
" I am currently serving TV's own Sid Little. He is an ignorant fuckwit, and can't appear to keep his dirty little pygmy hands off my bird. To be honest, I much prefer Eddie Large, who whilst a lardy bastard doesn't appear to be as much of a cunt as his on screen partner."
The knobhead just drank up and walked out. I was hoping for a punch at least. Speccy spacca
