I left the pub in 1983. The Lasers were installed in 1982.

I was once 10 yards ahead of Peter Elliott in a school cross-country race. I jump the gun at the start. He won by about 3/4hour in a 3 mile race...

Alright, I'll too these video stories.

1992. England played France at Wembley. Alan Shearer's debut. Me and our kid went to watch it and stayed in London overnight. Next day we went on a bender. Got shitfaced in the West End. Rolling downOxford St mid-afternoon, we staggered into a bunch of made-up puffs being video'd as they swaggered down the road singing. Cameraman called us Kitsons and shoved us out the way.

A month later, I saw the video of the same made up puffs singing in Oxford Street on ToTP. Midway through, the puffs went out of shot as the camera aimed at the sky, some cockney shouted "Kitsons" and a couple of Yorkshire voices slurred "f**k off!"

It was the Manic Street Preachers.

Basically true, although I might have gilded the lily just a bit...

She lives about 5 miles up the road from me Nutwell. See that ass in Lechlade some Saturday mornings - doing her shopping!

I've got a scar on my left shin from Ian Snodins dirty tackle. I even saved the scab for a couple of weeks.

Mine arent that worthy, and all football based:

I won the Allan Johnstone Paint Trophy last season, which was a quiz on the "We Are Going Up" Podcast. Basically a fan of all 72 clubs faced off against each other on their own clubs knowledge.

I also won the Doncaster Free Press prediction league last season (the less said aboutmy performance this season, the better).

Also got a close up shot for 5 seconds on Sky Sports getting caught up with the atmosphere in the Stevenage/Torquay play off final.
