Ant: yeh, Anyway, he tried following her into the girls toilets and he tripped over his guitar case and cut his arm right up. That was quite funny. When I was in an old band, I was about 15 and we were at.. actually I think this was Gravesend again & the crowd was totally dead.. do you remmber this? (directed at Dave) Dave: =laughs a lot= Ant: and I thought "right, I'm gonna try and get them moving." so I got up off my drum kit, stood by the mic, and went...(waves hands about) "Who Likes Punk Rock!!!" .... silence ... "WHO LIKES PUNK ROCK!!!" Matt: Who looks like a wanker!!! =laughter= Ant: So I just went back round to my kit and continued playing. That was embarrassing. Dave: How about me? Matt: You took your shirt off once. =laughter= Dave: yeah, I suppose Matt: and I shouted "nipples!!" Dan: I haven't done anything embarrassing Ant: Except when you went "This is the biggest bunch of hi-didly.. doe haddely.. daddels.." =laughter= Matt: and.. "WHO'S BOUGHT OUR CD?" .. silence..

And The Scariest thing? Matt: Dave without a shirt on! =laughter= Dan: Matt in a thong and watching his ass twitch =laughter= Ant: I had to sit behind him when I was playing the drums! Matt: Apparently I had two spots on my ass Ant: Yeah, he had this zit here, and a zit there (one on each cheek) =laughter= Dan: We should have got a pen and drawn a smile on it, turned it into a smiley face
