Crapital radio
In my yoof I used to go to discos with Capital Radio guest DJs. I won an LP of some crap signed by Mike Allen.
For some reason the sleeve was wrinkly and stained - he later confessed that his dog had pissed on it in the back of his car.
Delightful.

» Awesome Sickies
Lies all lies
I pulled a sickie a few weeks back - my boss sent me a snotty email about "working from home" and how he didn't like it... Working? Anyway...
I held out digital thermometer up against the radiator until a suitably impressive temperature was shown on it, then took a pic with my phone and texted it to him.
He actually apologised when I got back to work :)

Mark Lamarr and more
Being a muso, I meet a few celebs. Met Mark Lamarr - he bought me a coffee and we talked for an hour or so. He really knows his music, and seemed like a decent bloke.
Den Hegarty (ex Darts singer and host of Tiswas after Chris Tarrant) is in a band with me. Very intelligent man, if a little wierd until you know him. Good bloke.
Met Sally James at a gig too - she's STILL stunning, and I turned all 14 years old again!
I could tell you about a bunch of American top-40 stars from the '50s, but you lot wouldn't know who I was on about.
Oh, and David Owen is nice, and Margaret Thatcher was also very pleasant to talk to. Mind you, that was at my Great-Uncle's memorial service, so I guess they would be really.
Oh hang on, you wanted dissapointing ones? Sorry, never met any. I just treat them as equals and get on OK.
no apologies - you asked the question.

Air Farce
According to a sad mate, it's an Air Force tradition to say "Marion" when you burp. If you don't, or someone else says "Marion" first, you have to touch a door handle before you get hit.
And my kids started saying "aaaaahhhhhhh" when driving over any bumpy surface, or riding in a shopping trolley, or riding on my Missus' lap in her wheelchair. We got some funny looks - one adult and two kids being pushed by me over rough pavement, all yelling "aaaaaahhhhhh"...
Sorry. Don't know why.

» My Christmas Nightmare
AARGH!
Being Jewish hasn't saved me...
As I sit here typing this, my Wife and her Grandfather are watching telly... and TALKING CONSTANTLY through every prog, ad, news bulletin etc. Ad for Currys? Grandad has an anecdote about some woman killed by a dishwasher. House Doctor? Long discussion on white vs magnolia. It just NEVER LETS UP!
I have SUCH a headache.... Thanks B3TA for the diversion.
(I really am going to kill someone in a minute...)
Oh - a couple of years ago my then 4-year old son fell in a mate's flat while chasing the cat, banged his head and we spend Xmas in hospital with him and an egg-sized lump. What fun.
