without the shipyards I would never have
been a comedian went into the shipyards
was a perfectly natural thing for me
though is let somebody drop from
Aberdeen going on a fishing boat or
somebody from your chicken dinner mainly
all of my characters have been required
guys that always in the audience
watching stuff and always saying I'd
like to be a lion tamer
you know but the Lions are scaled the
chairs you know you always take a chair
with you when you're gonna tame a lion
yeah a chair enough where they don't
mean if whoops pity hit chairs then they
will the guys are late they would wear
all the comedy was coming from but the
the week' watching it he's the story I
love those guys whether other people as
funny as you or the most of them are
funnier than me
I would watch television and see these
comedians and I would say he's very
funny but they never made me whole and
fall about the same way as that
ultimately guys did and I thought I'd
love to be a comedian and do it the way
the lads are doing it the thing that
makes me roar and that's what I
attempted it's the fame not a weakness
and you buy difference in you so go for
the shipyard first grateful that the
faint of weakness and like maybe it was
the banjo your go Fiat Fiat Eeyore
here's the fines you play when I'm
cleaning window was wrong but along done
them and there was a guy it was it was
from Troodon it was a really nice guy he
was an amateur dancer and we were
building her a tanker at the same for BP
and he had been spotted bought with a
typewriters and dancin what are the tea
place toast no sandwiches and somebody
said no she did a couple of lead fancy
steps that have gotten too tight down
he said diet was a weed the first battle
you know though I was only the first
pedal it was just static but from that
second doily was that avails Butler and
then you see I'm still too ahead of ass
people are delighted to have a nickname
makes you one of the boys but I started
drinking there was the pubs didn't allow
women and people have presumed because
it's men they talk about sex all the
time but in my experience they really do
you talk about football and like they
like talking about the work today I'm
was boring diggity remember the stag
ball in common we used to go for a drink
after the shipyard and people would say
if anybody noise T in the stag don't
know it back it's just a whale died
putting his helmet and I came upon it
that weird costumes by mistake I I was
playing for clubs and they were mostly
in lounge bars and I thought I'm going
to dress sorts different of walk in the
Lord who is so get starves on my
trousers then I went for the stray pee
then just just lost control after that
no I'm George Lee it was a visible thing
and it made him stand out so that he was
attractive to both men and women
without it being in a sexual way join
Ben had just done some drawings for the
green northern welly boots sure one of
them was the regularly and it was
bananas

the North Grand surgical Willy fabulous
and they were beautifully painted and
drawn wellies and I went for the regu
