Seven Things You Don’t Know About Me

I hate blog memes, but it’s Monday and my motivation is AWOL.

Liam at OnlineSales.co.uk invited me, and my vanity has overtaken my usual reluctance to post about myself. Behold – seven things you don’t know about me:

1. Billy Ocean used to be my landlord.

2. Last year I flew a dogfight over Nevada c/o the fabulous Buyagift.

3. I once met Queen drummer Roger Taylor. Encouraged by gratis champagne, I exclaimed: “Yes, Roger, I have all your albums… Greatest Hits One *and* Two.”.

Tumbleweed blew.

4. I got run over by a rusty BMW age 18. Cue: three months on crutches (I couldn’t get on with the wheelchair).

5. I had dozens of low-rent jobs before starting my own business. The nadir: getting caught sleeping in the stationery cupboard at Camden Council.

Or suggesting during a job interview that the Big Issue rebrand as ‘The Small Issue’ if money was tight… (Blame super-strong coffee and a severe case of nerves).

6. I was briefly a TV extra and once doubled for the murderer in Silent Witness.

7. My ex-office was raided by police shortly after I moved out. I’m told the ‘beauty salon’ upstairs was really a front for a high-class knocking shop…
