i was the first person in the world to play Archangel in public (at our FWD debut). our dubplate has a section in it with this horrible caustic stab in it (not in a good way). so rang him and asked him to edit it out and the track now has the 'if i trust you...' section instead...

I kicked Jona Lewie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_the_Cavalry for younger readers) at a sex party.
My mate pushed John Paul Gaultier down the stairs.
I spat on David Hockney.
Ah, youth.
