And I came home and I had these hiccups and the hiccups wouldn't go away.

And Winston walked into the corridor and he surprised me and I hiccuped and a gallon of water came out of my mouth.

And I thought I was going to get a hiding and I didn't.

He just said, let's clean this up.

And the other thing was, when I want new faces...

I was with my mum and the family watching on the telly.

It was a pretty major thing.

And I said hello to my mum on the telly.

Hello, mum, at the end of the show.

And she was blown away by this.

And when it was all over, mum went into the kitchen, very happy, crying and stuff.

He came up to me and he put his hand on my shoulder.

He said, make sure you keep your feet on the ground.

That was it.

That was the advice.

Never said anything else.

And he was the main breadwinner of the family.

He sat at the head of the table and he had the biggest piece of meat.

Every mealtime, dad had the biggest piece of meat.
