At the Reading Festival
A huge number of years back...

I was doing some stewarding and as part of the deal, you got to camp in a different area, away from the paying punters. As well as a small wage (and a free festival) you also got fed twice a day.

For reasons best knows to himself (and others who also knew I suppose) the actor who played DC Rod Skate in The Bill was cooking breakfast. (Rumour has it, he was related to the bloke who had the catering contract).

Anyway, when asked how I'd like my eggs cooked, I said, 'Sun Hill side up'

He called me a cock.

I once sold a pair on trainers to Nina Cherry too.

Oh I forgot
while working Leeds festival last year, I waved Gallows through the backstage gate and sorted out where they were taking their equipment. Surely that's shit enough.

I apologise.

This was the front runner...
It had everything: a mundane setting, low-paid unfulfilling work (did a year of it myself) and someone I've not heard of from the bill...

Then you went and made a funny.

Sorry, pooch-pounder, you're not getting my 42p with that one.

Next!

Absolutely nothing funny there.
I wish to lodge an appeal for the 42p.

If you'd said nothing, you'd already be enjoying just over four-tenths of a pound. But no, you made a naff joke and got told to fuck off. Thus rendering your story so bad it's good.

He never told me to fuck off.
He called me a cock.

I renounce my appeal.

Skater Rodney Mullen once let me have a go on his Skateboard in Bath. He was a nice fella. If a bit American.
