1) I drank the still beating heart of a snake while in a Hanoi restaurant.

2) When I was younger I really believed that all you had to do during a nuclear attack was immerse yourself in water and hold your breath until the blast has finished.

3) I’ve been to hospital 10 times but have never broken any bones.

4) I think I really should of married that girl in Vietnam.

5) The best Drug experience I’ve ever had was while working in Malawi - I got severely sunburnt walking along the shoreline of Lake Nyasa and my neck blistered up like a mountain range - I had to go to hospital and spent the next three days sitting in an armchair whacked out of my mind on very, very strong painkillers and loving every minute of it.

6) During the Christmas of the turn of the century I sold stolen Golf club putters, Mini-Grandfather clocks and Oak toilet seats to my mari-jo clientele, proving you can sell anything as long as you get your customers stoned enough while trying to talk them into making a purchase.

7) Taking place across three different continents, I have ended up in bed with more than one woman at the same time, four times. When I see myself in the mirror I don’t think that should of realistically happened to be honest. God bless alcohol.

8) When I was around eight or nine years old I used to draw comics for my brother about a mystical animal god called Owly ( he was an Owl you see ) who, after deciding that earth was no longer a safe place for the animal kingdom, gathered the animals together Noahs Ark style and set off into the galaxy searching for a new home aboard a giant spaceship not unlike the one from Battlestar Galactica.

Owly’s arch nemesis, a wolf, named Bad Wolf, and a snake (called snake) tried to assassinate Owly and inadvertently caused the spaceship to crash-land on the distant planet of Zartonia - once explored they found that it was inhabited by a race of giant insects the ant men - and the zombified spirits of dead animals that had done serious wrong back on earth a sort of National Geographic Purgatory.

Badwolf took charge of these creatures and led them to war against Owlys animal kingdom for control over the planet of Zartonia.

Each episode generally revolved around the idea of animals in spaceships, massive weapons, huge explosions, kidnap and rescue missions and absolute carnage.

There was a character called Wild-dog who was more than a bit like Han Solo. Owly himself didn’t really do much to be honest and I didn’t really like him.
