I bet that doesn't even put you off!
FACT! Post 10 facts about yourself Page 2
I'm a Welshman. What do you think?
1. I once threw Phil Oakey (The Human League) out of a Sheffield club for annoying The Clash's Road Manager. I later failed an audition with The Human League.. (the audition was before actually, but I wasn't bitter..)
2. Peter Stringfellow gave me one of his jackets. It was green and black felt and I buried our cat 'Old Tibbs' in it.
3. I once upset Paul Shane (Hi De Hi) by turning his microphone down when he was singing (badly, I felt..) in a Sheffield club 'turn my mic back up, you twat', he shouted and came looking for me after he came off stage.
4. On the orders of the local police I had to turn the power off on 'The Specials' at a gig when they played on past an 11pm Sunday night curfew. I was not popular with the drunken crowd.
5. I have been up to the top of the BT Tower in London to the floor with the revolving restaurant about 150 times!
6. I have sat in the chair in the Command Centre under The MOD in Whitehall where the Prime Minister would sit in the event of War. It was black leather of course. Mmm, nice!
7. I have played cards with the magician Paul Daniels - he won!
8. I had a Rickenbacker 12 string electric guitar that was hired on behalf of Madonna for use on one of her albums. I don't know exactly what she did with it but it came back somewhat soiled. Someone had spilled beer on it I think.
9. I used to live in a flat overlooking the River Thames with Michael Caine and Elton John as near neighbours. I never saw either of them. They always seemed to be away somewhere else..
10. I once shared a bottle of brandy with Mick Karn, the bass player out of 'Japan' and Midge Ure of 'Ultravox'. Mick Karn was as white as a sheet, I don't know if it was make up or what. Midge Ure had just bought some new curtains and was telling us all about that.
11. My shoe size is nine and a half. I like a brown lace up best.
1. I talk almost constantly in my sleep. I'm also prone to sleepwalking. I once left my house and made a call from a phone box across the road. In my pants. I only know this because my mum took the call.
2. I have never broken a bone. Or had a filling.
3. I am allergic to coffee. The smell of it alone makes me gag.
4. My toes are abnormally long. The longest is likely the size of one of your fingers.

6. I remember the very first laugh I scored. I was blowing a raspberry.
7. I have no middle name. This is because my dad was so drunk when he filled in the birth certificate he wrote his own name. Minus middle name.
8. I don't eat meat. This started at a bet (eat no meat for a year) and just kind of stuck. Eight years later it's mutated into an ethical thing. Basically, if I'm not comfortable killing it, it doesn't go in my stomach. The bet was for £20 and never paid.
9. I once drank a pint of vodka in one for a bet. I then swam through Brighton's Western Pier in my pants.
10. My granddad once accidentally fed me ant poison. He also allowed me to burn all the prints off my right hand with an blow torch and nearly drowned me in a canoe. All this before I was eight.

Wow, we have some interesting and crazy stories. I'm also tempted to not write anything about me now because it's comparatively very boring!
1. I have also never broken a bone in my body. But I suspect I may have damaged a finger quite badly a few years ago. It bruised badly and was really swollen but I never went to hospital. Seems fine now. Also many ankle sprains but no breaks, woo.
2. I lost my virginity in a girl's back garden at a party. Rock 'n' roll.
3. I made Gary Elkins' (a footballer who used to play for Wimbledon FC back in the day) son cry during a football match, with a quite bad tackle from behind.
4. I watched Baddiel & Skinner unplanned one night when they had a gold mould of Robert De Niro's penis. A few days later I met Frank Skinner at a charity cricket match, and I asked him if "the Robert De Niro willy mould was real", and he said it was. He then told this story about a kid asking if it was real the next night on Baddiel and Skinner unplanned.
5. Me and my friend Alex tried to steal Johnny Borrel's NME Award after the 2005 NME Awards. He demanded it back, and seemed pretty angry with us. But I met him before the awards and he seemed alright.
6. I've been in a music video, for 'William' by The Others. They looked like they would be massive in 2005, got front cover of the NME and won an NME award. Didn't make it though sadly.
7. I've snorted cocaine off of the back of a Mean Girls DVD in Regents Park. Not my proudest moment!
8. Apart from at Uni, I've only lived in a house for two years where at least one of my Grandparents hasn't lived with us.
9. I can't do minute silences. Or awkward, sad silences. I get the giggleloop really badly. Worst one was either during a minute's silence at Arsenal v Wimbledon on the anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster, where for some bizarre reason I sniggered. When lots of people turned around and looked at me I wiped my nose as if it was a sneeze. I don't think they were convinced. I also had great difficulty preventing myself from laughing when my parents were telling me they were splitting up.
10. I have a t-shirt signed by Noel Gallagher. He wrote 'To Nick, peace, love & bananas, Noel Gallagher x'.

That's fantastic. I remember that episode really well.
Baddiel asked him what his reply was and Skinner said 'I slapped round the ear, I didn't want to hear that kind of language from young children'.
Some great stuff here though. I wish I'd conjured up some better stories now.
1. I had a letter from Marvel Comics when I was a kid apologising for the use of the word "twat" in the strip Jet Lagg.

3. I have three children.
4. I can touch my nose with my tongue.
5. I have a slight lisp (see interesting point 4).
6. I have a pathological hatred of cigarettes. It was a mild dislike until, when I was three, my father told me to close my eyes and open my mouth for a sweet. When I did he put a used cigarette butt in it.
7. I am no longer in contact with my father.
8. I was in a band with Peter Serafinowicz off the telly.
9. I got married when I was 23. Now I am 36.

Bizarre - it happened straight after taking asthma medication you say? Maybe you're allergic to bananas?
