Who's in here?

Corner

Damn. Going through some boxes of stuff in storage this morning, and I found this Polaroid, taken at the Q Awards in 1994. If only I'd found it while putting the book together. It screams, "That's me in the corner"! Two enormously famous people having a meaningful conversation, and who's loitering, Zelig-like, in the background, wearing a jazz tie to offset grunge hairstyle? The story of my life.

I remember Rob Newman being taller than David Baddiel. Funny how the mind plays tricks...

Is it okay to say you've improved with age, Andrew?

That 'Sir Isaac Newton' look is bound to make a comeback, Andrew. Hope you've still got that tie.

Everyone has to have fashion disasters to look back on and laugh at in later years.

Didn't know you used to be in The Wonder Stuff, Andrew. I wish I could find the picture of me with Tom O'Connor on Talk Radio...

That's not you, that's Ferdy from This Life, isn't it?
You're lucky, in my old photos I look like Cyril Fletcher from That's Life.

I never imagined you looking like that when you described it in the book!
I got a bit of free publicity for your book by the way. I am currently doing work experience at the York newspaper, 'The Press', and I got to do a 'Press' Is Loving/Hating column and I put your "witty and enjoyable" book in my loving section. It is extremely good and I did thoroughly enjoy it!

To be honest Andrew, as the man who invented Britpop, you should be allowed to dress exactly as you like around popstars as well as loitering with intent in corners.

Thanks, Aidan. Every little helps.

You're quite welcome. One more thing I wanted to ask you. Do you like The Twang? Because I think an equal number of people love them and hate them and I think they're fantastic. Especially live.

Sorry I'm stumped - which one is you?

I can see Albarn, Baddiel and Pellow. Are you the ear over DB's shoulder?

I thought it was Ginola...

David Baddiel is not enormously famous. He is a twat.

Is that Jonathan King? You look like pop has eaten itself and vomited it all back up.

The 90's were vile weren't they?

This is a little off subject. But, I have an important message for you about Revelation. The message was received from God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost in the Spring of 2006. The message is this: In the morning I go to heaven. In the afternoon I live my life. In the evening I die, death. Now what does this mean? God is telling you the meaning of First is Last and Last is First as it is written in Revelation. In other words Birth is Last and Last is Birth. Don’t think from point A to point B. Think more of a continuous circle of life. Birth, Life, Death, Birth. Birth in Heaven is Last. God also talked about Judgment Day. Before Birth is Judgment. Just as Birth is painfull on Earth it is also painfull in Heaven. Since this is a recent message delivered to you by a possible Angel of God it confirms what is written in Revelation. What is written about First is Last has not been tampered with. This is not a jest, this is straight from God. This is a possible warning from God that things are coming down. Pass this message along like a chain letter, tell two other people. Melanie Stephan

Correction: to the meaning of First is Last and Last is First. It means that Birth is Last and Birth is First. Sorry for the error. God talks in symbols so it that time to get it right.

In 2007, God had this to say;
We each die in succession, then we are born on the same day.
