‘Prince of Wales in Cardiff, circa 2002. It was two friends’ birthdays and we started to sing happy birthday to them. I reckon about 80% of the pub joined in, and it being Wales it was like a full on choir. The pub is an old theatre and is fucking huge on many levels. It was awe inspiring.’

‘Back in 2009. Some girl was dared to drink her boyfriend’s lager when he went to the toilet. So she did. Then she proceeded to chug two entire jugs of Frilly Woo Woo that she’d bought but nobody liked. And then she threw up over the back of the sofa and her boyfriend and his friend lifted the sofa and covered the vom puddle while she legged it to the toilets and threw up all over there too. She didn’t drink for almost 15 years after that.
Some girl is me. (It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me!)’
