Behave yourselves - of course I never met the man. However, I did once present a prize of a DAVID BOWIE LP to a lucky raffle winner (who, as you can see, is clearly utterly enthralled by my 'electrifying' manly-man charisma) at some musical charity night at a local hotel back in November 1986. This came about because my town's newspaper had recently published an article about me freelancing for 2000 A.D., and the organiser considered me a close enough approximation of a minor local celebrity for him to invite me to present a prize. Yes, he was clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel. (I said it first.)
Also present were footballer ALLY McCOIST, and a couple of glamorous models, one whose name was, I think, CATRINA GARRITY, though I may be wrong about that. I've included the models anyway, 'cos I know you'd all rather see two leggy burds than make yourselves jealous looking at my hirsute handsomeness. (The blonde woman was part of hotel management, but I don't know her name.)
Hell's bells - that was over 30 years ago, yet it seems like only last week to me. Wish my beard was that colour nowadays when I let it grow, and I wish my stomach was as flat as it was back then. Ain't getting old a bitch?!
