I visited Graceland twice in 1 week, and brought home some grass from the side lawn. I still have it in a tiny guitar case with Elvis' picture on it.

On the same holiday, I got up in one of the bars of Memphis, and sang 'That's Alright Mama' (Elvis' debut single on Sun records). Went down pretty well.

Slept drunk in a doorway in Florence for about 3 hours, then checked into a hotel a ways down the street only to discover next morning that said doorway belonged to the place I was supposed to be staying in.

Got rejected from a nightclub for being covered in sand - aahh Coogee Bay Hotel I mean the beach was just there.

Ate a chicken head unknowingly.

Nothing really special compared to the stuff on this forum:

I made a video for my local pub in the vain of Cheers title ("Where everybody knows your name........"), everyone who sees it loves it so that always cheers me up (*groan* pardon the pun there)

I have a cartoon gallery behind the bar of just cartoons I usually drew on coasters, one that sticks out is a picture of me, all the lads (13 or 14) and the owner.

I've made comedy audio serials, usually either exaggarating things we've done or I just imitate people we know or my friends in absurd situations. Most people's favourite is the serial where we go Paintballing and things go horribly wrong. My fav. character in it is an over-the-top Paintball instructor who is like a Vietnam veteran, a là a paintball match he was in where he lost against the opposing team and he freaks out when he thinks of his friend "Charlie" who really was just innocently shot by a paintball: "Jesus, he looked like a fùcking rainbow!!"

Eh, that's really it bar doing what Slow Motion did by travelling the Irish Sea on the top of a big boat in disasterious winds. Not good for smoking a fag I tell ya.

Will do: Buy a DeLorean first thing as soon as I'm famous, hopefully.
