Every evening, I make my way straight to the newsagent and procure ten packets of... Panini Euro 2000 stickers to fill the book she sent me.
When I was just a little boy, I had a motorbike sticker album. I used to spend all my pocket money on motorbike stickers, fascinated by the sight of all these men in rubber suits, pulling their throttles and whizzing away. Once, I accidentally stuck one sticker in upside down. I thought this was very funny, because the man was riding his bike, but, like, upside down! So, I stuck in all the other stickers I had upside down too! After a day or two, the sight of upside down motorcyclists somehow didn't seem that funny anymore and I realised I had made a terrible mistake. So I gave up collecting stickers and threw the album in the loft to join my Johnny Ball Chemistry Set and Beginner's Magic - 100 Easy Tricks. Easy, my arse. There's a moral in this I think. No, actually I just think I'm stupid. I missed Steve Lurpak last night. But that's no loss really, I can never listen to him without being distracted by the thought of his funnily shaped head. I looks like it's made out of cardboard. Whatever he's saying all I can hear is "Hi I'm Steve Lamacq, I've got a cardboard head". It's terrible, really.
