I did one where you had to, it said, you must run backwards with your arms spread out, shouting, haaaah, from your diaphragm. And I was in the theatre up in Nottingham, in north of England at the time, and I went to the local park and I did these things. And then I remember looking over at some local kids who were saying, look, he's doing it again, what a wanker.
