When I was runner up in Junior Cook of the Year, Sarah Kennedy off of Game for a Laugh gave me my prize – it was a Kenwood Chefette, thanks for asking. I made the front cover of the Milngavie and Bearsden Herald following in the family tradition. My Dad was on the front page when he ran the London Marathon.
I had my sandwich made for me by the band Anthrax when they played Glasgow.
My mate Dave has a mate who, the story goes, for want of a better phrase, had special one time when setting up a kids climbing frame for her. Obviously he wasn’t setting it up at the moment he was in the toilet, just to be clear. Not sure if it’s true but it makes for an unusual pub story.
My mate Brian worked with her in a bar on Shawlands, lucky man.
My wife went to drama club with the sister of the girl who played the teacher in Balamory.
Frankie Boyle chapped my door the other night and asked me to sign a petition against a phone mast. He even shook my hand – touched by comic greatness!
A former colleague when he was in a band in the Marquee Club in London told the singer of Then Jericho to jog on when he tried to queue jump at the bar.
