Natalie Imbruglia
I'm my brothers biggest fan.

He's a cameraman and does music videos as well as TV, well a few years back when Natalie Imbruglia was 1st moving into Pop, he was part of the crew filming the video for one of her songs, and there was a period where she wasn't going to be required for a bit and so she asked if someone could show her a bit of London.

Well my brother lived in Balham at the time so volunteered to take her out, as you would!
He turns to her and said Pub?
she says yes,
so he rings his mates as its early evening and casually asks if they fancy a pint.
Later on they arrive as hes standing by the bar, start nudging each other and saying " look isn't that that bird off Neighbours" and my brothers like "Yep, shes with me" and much hero worship ensues. Anyway meant to be a nice girl as well as looking great.

He's also rung my dad on fathers day whilst Pavarotti did a sound check in the Albert Hall - and my old man gets a private concert via mobile - I hate him really, how do you top that?

» Pubs

Mixed Doubles
In deepest darkest rural Wales I used to play for my local in the Pool league.

Well on one trip to play a pub in the neighbouring village we all file in and head for the pool table to see how the land lies, which way the table leans, how many beer stains, crisp crumbs, etc.

The boys at the front all go quiet and as the rest of us spread out into the room we are presented with a view of the local bike, (the paid variety) being "re-inflated" by some bloke..

After much ahemm'ing and some jostling for position we go back into the bar, fair play though the bloke got his money worth and took so long we had eaten the usual post match sandwiches before he came out.

Funny match too watching some of the boys working their way round the now more questionable of stains, (pussyfooting seems appropriate).

Length - she seemed to like it!!

Christmas Day Washing Up
Tradition in my parents house is on Christmas Day the "Men" have to do the washing up - fair enough mum did cook the dinner (and we did wash up other days before people start complaining about emancipation).

So the tradition really involves me, my brother & brother in-law, inventing plausible ways of avoiding the washing up by:
Suddenly becoming very interested in the Queens speech and unable to leave the lounge.
Needing a pee desperately.
Pretending you havent heard Dad shouting to come and dry up whilst he dissapears under a mountain of Turkey Giblets.
Needing a clean Tea Towel.
Playing with 1 of the kids.
Putting the posh glasses away in the dining room (that can take ages if done right).
Putting the posh cutlery away (as above).
Getting drunk and dropping stuff (always a winner).

Not that funny sorry.

» Procrastination

Shopping
Just come home from my mates - his procrastination sin is shopping -

So much so that he ran out of marge the day before yesterday and is currently spreading Olive Oil on his toast and sandwiches in its place.

I suppose if he left it open long enough it would congeal into a marge type paste but still, the lazy git.
