It was September 1998,
and I had two tickets to be in the audience at TFI Friday. Not just any tickets either, mind, cos my dad's mate's daughter was a runner on the show. No, I had purple ones that meant no queuing and definite entry, which made me feel slightly special. I took my brother.

Being in the audience at TFI Friday is shit. You have to whoop and scream and dance about on order, and if you look even a little mopey you're thrown out. It was a bigger pisser for us than most as, both being 6'3", we kept getting shoved right off to one side by the floor manager so we weren't decapitated by the boom camera.

I think Richard and Judy were on that week. The Cardigans definately played 'favourite game'. Him off the Eurhythmics also played, with Sinead O'Connor, Kylie Minogue (when she was still shit) and Natalie Imbruglia on backing vocals. The girls all wore blonde wigs and 60's style dresses. I watched this performance shoved off to one side under the meshed metal walkway that you could look up and through.

Him off the Eurhythmics and the girls walked up the stairs and along the walkway overhead to go back backstage, or talk to Chris Evans, I can't remember which.

Natalie had white pants on.

I'm going to be a bit controversial here
but I think Natalie Imbruglia is quite attractive.

Nothing
controversial about that statement.

This is when an HD brain cam would be useful.

Oh JTFC yes

That's close to how a mate refers to his wank bank:
"Phwoar, I'll save that to the w: drive."
