I was watching The Fall in Brighton, a charity event and a bring your own booze night. Spent the entire evening chatting to Frank Skinner, very funny and nice guy, I was repeatedly offering him booze from my large bag of Innes & Gunn hoard which he repeatedly declined.
Woke up in the morning and the first thing that popped into my head was remembering that Frank Skinner is a recovering alcoholic and that I didn’t sing Three Lions at any point.
