ME & DAVID BOWIE...

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 en-

thralled by my 'electrifying' manly-man charisma) at a charity

night at a local hotel back around the mid-'80s.  This came about

because my town's newspaper had recently published an article

on 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

cop an eyeful of two leggy burds than make yourself jealous

looking at my hirsute handsomeness.  (The blonde woman

was a hotel employee, 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 age a bitch?!
