Oooops.....Not one mention of Slayer, highly disappointed!!
Many years ago, I was chatting to a window-cleaner, who was giving it large about how his business was doing really well in London, his team were cleaning several high profile locations, etc etc etc.
I'd have pegged him about 35 years old, shell-suit wearer, jack-the-lad type..you get my drift.
We chatted about music and I mentioned that Slayer were one of my favourite bands. They had just released Reign in Blood (1986), still one of thrash metal's genre-defining albums.
The guy got up, went over to a cupboard, and pulled out Reign in Blood, signed by all the band. He said "yeah, I was doing Tower Records last week, and they were there signing, and I got one signed. Not my sort of music. I was gonna flog it (this was before ebay and the like). Didn't realise you liked them. Have it."
I was completely and utterely gob-smacked. Seems like he wasn't giving it large after all. I'm sure there's a moral in there somwehere.
(and yes, I still have it today)

If you'd like to come, if only to meet the real freakydancer, let me know, and I'll send you the details.
And we sound nothing like Coldplay/Keane/James "f**king" Blunt
