Not that exciting really.

I used to be a DJ in the 80's and early 90's and worked on the boats on the River Thames.

Many interesting things occured and one night a live band were playing - who were called Soul II Soul. I thought they were quite good so sorted some of their 12" the next day..... a couple of months later they hit the big time.

Pat Sharp is a git though!!!

I also DJ'd a night with Showwaddy waddy!!!!

2. First record / CD / whatever you bought..as in went into Our Price (example) and bought it yourself?

3. First album, if different from the above, you bought?

4. First song you kissed to?...whether or not it was your first kiss...you remember...yes you do!

5. Favourite Ginger, famous or otherwise?

Back in the day, My older brother bought my younger brother a Shawaddywaddy album for Xmas, which was put in a see through bag when he bought it - he promptly made ME carry it down the street because as a long haired metal head he couldn't face the embarrassment of being caught with it in his possession.

    • Lost my love of football years ago so I pay very little attention to it these days but I'm really enjoying Max Rushden's video diaries of his flat share with Barry Glenddening. I think Barry might kill him before the end of the tournament
