Is Monster Munch still going? Seems like they've been going ages.
FACT! Post 10 facts about yourself Page 24
OK, second round! Resistance is futile, I know you want it.
11. My main drive to study English was "what the hell they are singing about?" My initially very rudimental knowledge led to numerous misunderstandings, as I thought "Rent" by Pet Show Boys had definitely the most idiotic chorus - "I love you; you pay my rent".
12. I saw my first sitcom in 1992 or so. It was Saved by the Bell. My first britcom, which some time later, was either first series of Men Behaving Badly or Rat episode from Fawlty Towers, whichever was first. My life was changed then and there.
13. Raised in an atheistic family in atheistic society, I celebrated my first Christmas when I was 24 or so. The holidays still mean zilch to me.
14. My only claim to fame was two appearances on local TV, one during a pop festival (when I carried a guitar onstage for the artist I did translations for), during which I met Uriah Heep guys and had a chat with their singer. Three years later I finally heard Uriah Heep classic records, fell in love immensely with them and have been biting my fingers ever since - a chance like this will never come again.
15. I designed and webmastered the official site for one of Latvia's best known metal band. Which meant, I could go to see lots of concerts for free (as the band also dabbled as promoters). I usually passed up the chance. I largely cannot stand heavy metal crowd.
16. I still love the music of my childhood - Eurodisco of the mid80s. The sole German will recognize the name Modern Talking - although there is no telling what he will do after reading this 
17. I work from home, in a 4 square meters room with a window, literally surrounded by books and discs.
18. I used to be pissed about people confusing Latvia and Lithuania. Now I'm not even frustrated when somebody asks if I live in Siberia, drink vodka, play balalaika and keep three bears as pets.
(OK, it _is_ a little frustrating. Honest.)
19. Smell of fish, ANY fish, makes me gag.
20. I own a fairly large apartment in a rather expensive part of city, drive a 5 month old car (made in U.K), for which I will be paying for another 5 years, I took my wife to 14th wedding anniversary dinner in a Chinese restaurant (NOT a fast food one) today; my all time favourite band is the Beatles, I'm also a huge fan of ABBA, Simon&Garfunkel, Dead Can Dance, Slade and, I cannot stand horror films (they scare me shitless); I weight almost 120 kg, I've never used drugs, never had (too) long hair, never been into swearing and making trouble; I can't stand loud music and I attend concerts with cotton wool in my ears. I am so heavy metal.

WrongTale, congrats on the anniversary! And what make is the car?
My turn for 11-20 (now I have the old top of the pops theme tune in my head).
11. I once had my facial cheeks caressed by Zoe Ball.

17. I caused a powercut in the royal festival hall whilst they were in mid concert.
18. I wrote a computer virus once to see how easy they ere to right and how much damage they could do.. a lot.
19. When leaving a job, over £1000 of books accidently came with me

15. Tell us for why!!!

Bit of an anti-climax
Use to be friends with the Late Kevin Greening (when I wrote for the Radio 1 breakfast show) one day waiting for him in Radio 1 reception, he was 30 minutes late and was very apologetic squatting before, and at that moment Moyles and Comedy Dave walked past and pulled what can only be described as a 'hello sailor' face. 
You wrote for the Breakfast show, you comedy God, you.
Sigh

If that's an anti-climax, I'd love to see your big Jerry Bruckheimer explosion-packed finale.

Me and MArtin wrote a few features... Dismay in History, Strong Words softly spoken, Where are they Now (Mr Benn, Bod ect...). Sort of fillers for between records... We took great pride that Zoe Ball never really got Dismay in History
Our most high profile one was for the lunchtime show 'Vera Trickles Lunchtime Twitch'
Ohh, part two! Here goes.
1 - I once wrote a spoof blog of the former EasteEnders actor Tom Watt on an old website of mine. Despite talking about how he offended Lesley Grantham by making a joke about killing a cabbie, TWO people got in touch with me thinking I was actually him. One was a women who claimed to be high profile in the media and a millionaire, who wanted me to ghost write a book, the other was Adam Woodyatt aka Ian Beale. (Similarly I got some abuse from someone claiming to be friends with those two gypos who Tony Martin shot after I wrote an article taking the piss)
2 - Before my big comedy writing debut tomorrow, the grand total of my media appearances are a quote from me in my local paper when our football team got promoted, two photographs due to work, some comedy anagrams I sent into Match magazine in 1997 and walking past Tony Robinson being interviewed as an extra on his DVD.
3 - In my life I've been mistaken for both a 'Chris' and a 'Dave' by strangers. The first in McDonalds, the other in Woolworths but BOTH in Cheshire.
4 - I once went on a week long football camp and was trained by a then 18 year old youth team defender called Mike Duff. Duff went on to play for Championship side Burnley and has got international caps for N. Ireland. I didn't.
5 - I have a small pocket book by Alan Bennett that I found backstage where I work after a Morrissey gig. I tell myself it must be his.
6 - I was present for a world record breaking attempt that featured as a snippet in the opening titles to Baker-Castle era 'Record Breakers.'
7 - I once spent an afternoon doing personal security for Top Gear's Richard Hammond. He didn't acknowledge me once and is taller than me. Both were hard to take.
8 - I'm slightly pigeon chested, so the right hand set of ribs is raised compared to the left.
9 - I've just bought a flat. I get the keys on Friday. I've never lived away from home. F**k!
10 - I've been stopped by the police twice. First time I was shitting my pants, second time I got a bit lippy with The Old Bill because them stopping meant I missed the start of The Frank Skinner Show. (the best bit, the bit with the stand up)
Christ, that was hard. I've summed up my life in 20 points. How tragic.

I will always love you?
