» The nicest thing someone's ever done for me

The Police
At the beginning of this year I was going to see 'The Police' perform in Manchester. I've alway's been a big fan, and as a classical music buff too, I'm really into the lute stuff that Sting has been doing.

I used to work backstage at our local theatre, and I knew a few contacts, so I made a couple of calls and got in touch with the assistant stage manager for the gig to see if he could get me backstage to meet the band after the show. I didn't expect to hear anything, but a week before the gig, an envelope arrived - with a backstage pass in it!

I was chuffed to frigging bits! I went to the gig, and decided to slip backstage to see if I could spot anyone before the show. I showed my pass and was allowed straight in - to almost bump straight into the front man himself! I couldn't help but notice that he was looking a bit more frail than I remembered him.

"Wow, hello Mr. Sting," I said, "It's great to meet you. I must say, you've lost some weight."

"Fuck off, " said Sting, "I've got a gig to do, you twat."

Although he was downright rude to me, I was still grateful to my pal who'd got the pass for me, that was 'thin arsey Sting' someone's done for me.



Gosh, is that the time?
