30something professional human, has wife, kids, house, car, decent job and yet still, on occasion, wishes there was a rewind button.

In my spare time, I wish I had more of it.

» The last thing that made me cry

Ongoing crap
between my wife and my mother ("why can't we all just get along...?")

When it turned out my car was well and truly knackered after it blew up on the way back from work (yeh, surprised me too...)

Any remotely sad pap on TV.

I'm a hard martial artist really.

» Petty Sabotage

Whilst at Uni
somewhere in the North West, I was bollocked for leaving my window wide open and playing very loud music.
And for kicking the bollard lights so that they went out.
And for regularly filling my hall corridor with pot smoke.
And for stealing chemistry equipment and building ingenius devices for generating said smoke.

All of these things I thought were quite acceptable university behaviour but apparently I was wrong. When I came to leave halls, with the help of some friends, we packed one of the ventilation shafts with food (fruit, veg, pilchards, chunks of meat etc.) and stuck yoghurt cartons to the back of radiators. I imagine the smell would've been spectacular, but sadly I was not there to enjoy.

Hollyoaks
Whilst training at a record studio in Liverpool, the Hollyoaks crew turn up - they're doing a shoot for some stupid band in the series. So there I am with my long hair and skanky roll-up - "you look like a sound engineer, wanna be in the show...?" says one of the producers.

Cue hours of monotony in a tiny, hot studio with a director who sounded like Loyd Grossman - I did 4 takes, 3 of which I fucked up royally by looking directly into the camera. Professional, huh?

Whilst all this was going on, the rest of the "actors" who were not on camera, did their best to put everyone else off by writing 'bum', 'arse', 'guff' and other hilarious words on notepads, and holding them up behind the camera.

Got paid (eventually) £60 - which worked out at £20 per second I was on screen. Nice work if you can get it.
