I was having a "dance off" with a mate at a mate's wedding. I'd enlisted my missus to grab my leg and spin me round about 5 times (as I can't breakdance properly). I got back up too quickly, spun at a ninety degree angle into some bird about 4 tables away.

She was last seen re-attaching her wooden leg in the toilets.

I've had a waz at the side of Charlie Williams, the comedian, in a pub toilet in Skegness. Leeds has more trees than any other city in Europe. I was chased out of Billy Bremner's garden by him when I was a lad when I went in to ask if he had any windfalls from his apple tree. I don't know what he said but it was Scottish and didn't sound nice.
I played every member of Depeche Mode at Galaxian and beat them when they played a gig at a pub called Amnesia in Leeds before they were famous.

I was once ranked 4th in the world for the Uneven Bars

On the PC version of the 2008 Olympic Games, it was 3rd actually as the 1st place was a hacked score. I held it for quite a while too!

My mum caught me playing with myself in the bath one day.....



I said "It's mine. I'll wash it as fast as I like".

I was still embarrassed though

On another PC games note, I was also ranked 6th in the world at online air racing at one point. It was at a time where my community was the only active one. Was only for a few months but I am still pretty proud of that

I was a decent athlete as a youngster, mainly middle distance events. But I most enjoyed the high jump and used to jump in the evenings when nobody else was around. No coaching, no training just for fun. 19 years old, regularly clearing 1.95m World record at the time was 2.30m
