I wasn't musical.

But I remember being magnetized, gravitating to you guys thinking these are cool dudes.

Not bad.

I mean, me and Jake, when we were at school, he used to be an inspirationally naughty boy.

So we used to talk a lot in history and chat and make jokes and mess about.

And we used to go skateboarding together.

He was like my skate buddy.

And that got me into skate culture because he'd come from London.

He'd been living in London.

So I remember he'd been to a Power Peralta event

tour and he gave me half a poster signed by Steve Caballero and Mike McGill and I've still got it in my loft and I thought this guy's so cool and he had his mum had his van and of course his mum was in a rock band and his dad was a rock musician I was like these guys are so cool I'm gonna hang out with him and then we ended up like falling in love like good friends do and being mates you know still mates now years later and what was your question?

Yeah, college, I applied myself.

I'd mess about, but I'd still get the job done.

I'd make sure my homework got done and I was good in class.

A little bit cheeky and fast, but I'd still make sure I did the job.

When I got to sixth form, yeah, I was distracted by things that I shouldn't have been and got into going out to the pub earlier than maybe I should have done and got into clubbing and dance music came along and was like, wow, this is a whole new world.

But it was a really nice vibe.

I remember I used to be quite good at going between groups at college and being able to talk to the rock kids and the dance kids and the hippies and the...

I used to find everybody fascinating, so I liked... And I still do.

That's what I love doing now.
