  1. I had an interview in Newcastle, and I think I mispronounced the word "transparency". Regardless of whether or not I did, the mere thought that I had led to a full on brain freeze, meaning I couldn't remember the proper pronounciation in order to correct myself, so I just smiled blankly and made an arse of the next question - still mad at myself.

    On the plus side, on the train down there was a guy at the table on the opposite side of the "Quiet Coach" doing the Times crossword. Every so often he'd say something aloud like "I don't know that one", "Hmmmmmm" or (my favourite) "Oooooooooh, that's a tricky one." That tickled me, and I spent about half an hour trying to stifle my laughter.

  2. I hate being single, and I have absolutely no chat with girls unless they instigate it which is a bit of a problem in rectifying point 1.

    I once drunkenly broke 2 ribs jumping into bushes with friends and wrapped myself around a ninja tree. Told my mam I was challenging for a header on the football pitch and took a knee in the chest.

    The last time I took drugs, years ago, I have a big blank in my memory until the moment I "came round" in the waiting area of Partick Police Station at about 6am. I walked out, and later that day had a flashback where I was going there to report some jaikey for being racist to a shopkeeper. If they'd spoken to me I was sleeping it off in the cells, I could barely form sentences. That fucking changed me, let me tell you.

    I came 3rd in the Scottish Schools Athletics championships in Shot Put.

    I have never been in a fight, and for such a big guy have a fairly weak punch. The fact I'm 6'2 and well built has probably saved me from a few scrapes, but I'd get battered by a girl.

  3. Arguably the most famous episode "Why We Fight" is just about to finish on BBC2, and I'm sitting with a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat.

    Truely harrowing stuff, but wonderful television.
