Met some amazing people. Made lifelong friends. Worked on some cool stuff. The plusses outweigh the negatives for now.

Ah, the long generation! It ALWAYS amazes me and I've no idea why it doesn't make more people interested in history. I knew my great gran who was born in the 1880s. We did history at junior school and my nan and great gran were alive for all the stuff we studied! Left me fascinated for life...

Mate of mines Nanna died at 104 a couple of years back and we worked out that, as a young child, she could have conceivably met people born under George IV.

Makes Laughing Ed Davey and his tiresome summer of trampolines and splash parks look like Churchill.

Robert Jenrick, a kind of JD Vance for Express readers, premieres his ventriloquist act at the Annual Gathering of Britain’s Stupidest Cunts.

A set of extremely unusual circumstances admittedly but Winston Churchill could conceivably have been present at both Custers Last Stand and Stone Cold Steve Austin’s birth.

Grandaddy - Toppermost

How best to describe Grandaddy? They’re the band you wanted to hear when you heard that Neil Young had made a synthesiser record. They’re the diplomats in a war between Pavement and Super Furry Animal...

“Here I am, stuck out in the Yukon with my two mongoloid sons.”

“Ah, they’re not so bad…”

“Stop, I’ve taken shits I want to live with more than them.”

We were far too cool to openly like Bryan Adams of course. And that friendship group disintegrated completely within a couple of years but that night, we were inseparable and invincible. Those pissed singalongs were so heartfelt, not a cynical or ironic thing about them. I miss those young idiots.

I brought a young Avengers fan out of a coma once by singing a special version of the Nescafé song to him in hospital.

“Nescafé. Nescafé. No better way to start your day. Isn’t it time that you woke up. Jason wake up you lazy fuck…”
