Ten more things...

11) I was once voted karaoke champion at the busy Town Arms pub on the banks of the River Trent in Nottingham. It was 'Barry Manilow' night... The prize - pink champagne.The organisers presented all entrants with a fake nose before they did their stuff. I didn't need one...

12) I have co-written a play that appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe.

13) In 1984 I was co-organiser of the York Rock festival on Knavesmire Racecourse. The line up included Spear of Destiny, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Sisters of Mercy and the Chameleons. It rained, the roof leaked and I had to dry Spear's drumkit with a hairdryer at 7am. Later, Ian McCulloch was punched in the mouth by a security guard. The two incidents were unconnected.

14) I have delivered a speech (on the topic of a lack of music venues) to a full sitting of the York City Council. Afterwards, the Lord Mayor asked me to join his political party. I declined.

15) I have had a piss stqnding next to David Essex. Three times in one night at two different venues. I'd also served him a drink in the afternoon.

16) I've slept in a shop doorway in Driffield on my way back from a Thin Lizzy gig. In the morning, I nicked a bottle of milk from a doorstep.

17) At one all-night party, I once shagged all three sisters from the same family. Without any of them knowing about the others. They found out later, like. I was not invited to any of their weddings.

18) Like Penfold, I am uncircumcised. But unlike Penfold, I've never flashed my nob at any members of REM.

19) I'm a half-Scottish Yorkshirman with Jewish ancestry. So don't even think about asking me to get the beers in. Ain't gonna happen.

20) I once met Princess Diana briefly when she opened a Barnado's in Harrogate. I recall being overwhelmed with one thought and one thought only: Christ, I'd shag that!
