I once made a wall, out of these HUGE blocks of sandstone, for one of me mum’s friends. I overheard him saying something like it had saved him about £500, so I thought ” whoo-hoo..I’m gonna get some decent cash out of this”.

I got ten quid! Tight bastard!

I don’t get out of bed for less than a couple of hund… oh wait.

I don’t get out of bed.

Gave up the right to sue my ex-boss for being a git onthe grounds that he was offering more than I’d win. Just a shame that that meant I couldn’t publicly expose him as the spineless turd he really is.

Not very weird, but I was a toilet cleaner at Butlins in Barry Island in 1981 for about 6 weeks.

we-ell, it is not weird, it’s just bloody awful!
i am going to take some little kids to a concert next month. and get paid for it. i ain’t telling you who it is that we’re going to see because i’m so ashamed..

i’ve got another one. my friend featuring in it.
me mates and i are hanging around outside a club counting our money before getting in and find out to our dismay we are short of two quid. right.
one of us disappears behind the underground station and fetch us some money after a little while. we’re afraid to ask where and how she’s got it, but curiosity takes over.
“spare change pleaseee..”*
that cheeky little bastard!

*the last time i was asked for some money by some homeless i remember telling him, ‘don’t just stand there, make some room cos i might be joining you in a couple of weeks’. he didn’t look very happy.
another one (he looked like fran healy from travis but had more hair) said to me, ‘gimme some money please or take me home!’
‘too bad i don’t have any money with me..’**

**i didn’t take him home in the end. my dog wouldn’t have put up with his, er, smell.
(i’ll get punished for being so cynical. oh come on, i was kidding! :p)

I did have my bongos outside my local spar with some mates and while they skated around I put my hat down and busked, but I only made about 20p and that was off one of my mates!

I sold a pen with a naked girl printed on it.
Got about 5 Euros for it…
I was 8 years old…
This was a perfect start for a vacuum-cleaner-selling-career, but unfortunately I decided to study…
