turns out minis have shit brakes and roll really easily if you clip a kerb while desperately trying not to spin.

Bizarrely I didn't have a scratch

My teens were a right mismatch
I drifted from group to group at school, went through an emo phase, a chav phase, hung round with the geeks, the bullies, the lot.

I didn't really get bullied or owt. A few tried but I just hit back. Discovered weed and alcohol way too early on. Still managed to push through with good GCSE's and that.

Came out in the 6th form and that was that rally, discovered clubs, drugs, class A's and the rest is history.
