Going Live.........
When I was 12 I “won” a school competition and the prize was to go to London and appear on Going Live. The first part of this ramble is a confession, I lied to win the prize, the task was to sell Sunny Smile to all our neighbours and friends, these were pictures of cute little smiley children and the donations went to charity (I forget which one). The headmaster then came round the classes about 2 months later and asked how much each of us had raised, after listening to all the answers I upped my figure by about 500% and thoroughly thrashed all the honest kids in the room (there is no room for losers in my book).

3 of us were then taken on a trip to London to appear on Going Live. We arrived very excited and expecting all the fun and excitement that we had been watching for the last 3 years – the reality was so different. For a start it was a themed day and they studio was set up like a French café. We were asked to sit in the café for the show and look like we were having fun – we weren’t. No juice allowed in the studio, no toilet breaks, we couldn’t see the cartoons that were being played, we saw how they worked Crow and were horrified when between shots he was thrown around the studio like a Frisbee. The guests were crap, I thought we would have the chance to meet Tiffany or Kim Wild, I would have even have settled for Zamo from Grangehill but instead we met Ruth Maddox and Patrick Moore. Sarah Green was a snotty bitch and wouldn’t speak to anyone and Mike Reid was an aloof bastard who sat behind his desk all day.

The moral of the story is, honesty isn’t always the best policy, I got off with one of the boys who came on the trip with me that night …………..

I think it's quite cool that you met Patrick Moore
Not only is he an astronomer, but he was Games-master AND a spitfire pilot in WW2.

Your right
I would love to meet him now. But when I was 12 I wasn't quite so thrilled.
