Did I ever tell you guys about my chance encounter with Paul Weller? Well, about ten years back we were both queuing up for the fag counter at Asda in Rayleigh. Paul was in front of me, and somehow we struck up a conversation about how expensive a box of snouts was. He was a Dunhill man; I favoured B&H. Anyway, he eventually got served, smartly turned on his heel, and placed 20 tabs in my hand. Before I could thank him, he'd walked away. Top bloke. Still not a fan of the Jam, though.
I have to say Down In The Tubestation At Midnight is one of my favourite songs ever. Utterly brilliant song.
