1. The name I use now is not the name I was born with either!

2. People think me and Spot the Dog are brothers but we aren't.

3. My Grandad was a Russian Orthodox priest.

4. My Great Grandad lost an arm down the pit and went on to teach boxing.

5. The club where great Grandad taught boxing went on to become the Russian Orthodox church where Grandad held services. The two Grandads were unrelated:-)

6. I wear odd socks when having medical procedures because I have never heard of anyone with odd socks dying in theatre.

7. I am ssomehow related to the Lords Stanley of Derbyshire. The crypt in Liverpool Anglican cathedral looks remarkably like Grandad Stanley!

8. I was once the highest paid mouth organ player in Britain (You have to figure it out)

9. I was first served in a pub when I was 14. Never looked back since.

10. I once walked round with a broken wrist for 6 weeks before I found out about it.

Cheers
