HOW DID I END UP HERE FOR A £60 NATIONAL EXPRESS TICKET?

Usual boring stuff: went to a Catholic school and spent 2 years in the same class. Moved to secondary school and was bullied for a short time until I stood up to them one day in the lunch queue. Nearly got the cane when not doing school project of helping elderly do gardening. Only missed out because, as the headmaster knew, my Grandad was a caretaker at old school. Left in 1979 and worked in a factory dealing in making hardware goods. Nearly got beaten up by one-eyed co-worker for winding him up. Managed to move on to a plastic factory that made brushes - mostly as a tea boy cum labourer. Moved from home to first room in shared house. This is where I meet my first girlfriend, got my ear pierced, got into music and witchcraft, and followed bikers and Hell's Angels around  to feel cool. After split with then girlfriend went off the rails: 2 criminal damage, 1 year probation, drink and mild drugs. Anyway, decide to go training down the gym: circuit then weights; even entered a power-lifting contest (came last). Lived on top in sauna of gym. Fell out with family. Decided felt lonely so put an ad in back-street hero's for a girlfriend. Got a waste of time in Kent: a pervert, and then found present wife. Are you bored yet? Well, wife-to-be came with a bad husband, 3 children, court case, threats of violence, stress, moving a lot until now in Woolsery. P.P.S. got married 15th June 1991; Came to Devon August 1988.
