I was dj'ing at Dungeons on Lea Bridge Rd BITD and after playing my set I had the temerity to ask for my money. Cue being ushered outside and surrounded by Yardie types with alsatians and rottweilers and shotguns and told to fuck off and no, i could not come back in and get my gear. Lesson to all, get the money in cash upfront in any situation

The time a load of fucking spastics from here organised a mong meet. It was like the Island of Dr Moreau.

In a bar and chatting to a brother and sister I'd just met, mainly in a futile attempt to get in the sister's knickers, their "oldest swingers in town" parents turned up to join in the fun. Mother was in her fifties, scottish, hard-faced, built like a brick shit house and apparently had a relationship with her no-necked flabby mug of a hubby which allowed her to rub her hand up the thigh of blokes trying to fuck her daughter, rest it on their bollocks and ask if they want to go do a line in the bogs with her, whilst he looked on grinning. I politely declined, and managed to worm my way out of the group, only for her to hunt me down, grab my head with both hands and aggressively mouth rape me with her sandpaper textured tongue. That was bad enough, but gob shite here had invited the daughter down to a night I was DJing at the next week, and so one week later I was at the decks and felt hot breath on my neck and someone grinding up against me in a provocative way. I turned round to find the mother puckered up for action in a tartan mini-skirt and kinky boots, hubby stood behind her grinning like a cunt and nowhere to hide for the rest of the night.

In a back room of a club on a thai island with a gun pointed in my face. He was the top gangster of the area, had allegedly slit the throat of a swedish tourist the week before, and I had just pulled his bird.

Being in a car that was repeatedly on the receiving end of a Mercedes 180E driven at 30 mph by a notoriously psychopathic, alcoholic regional news anchor, who was of the belief that i was sleeping with their then partner.

At an awards ceremony a long way from home, a very butch South African woman at least twice my size, ex-forces and leader of an organization called THRA or something telling me that she knew exactly what I wanted. I made the PR woman representing her pay for my taxi...

Probably the beautiful summer’s day when on my way to school I was met at the bus stop by an agitated young man. Pissing with blood, he told me all about the robbery he and his brother had done the night before, how the police had arrived and he’d run and hadn’t heard from anyone since. Bizarrely he suddenly clocked my school uniform (a girl’s school) and started screaming “lesbian whore” whilst trying to back me away from the street, thankfully at this moment the bus came flying round the corner and I was whisked to safety. God bless TfL.

I was about 9 or 10 and had been left home alone by an unusually irresponsible mother. Some pissed up guy wearing full cammo gear and fingerless gloves knocks on the door, brandishes a 3 litre bottle of white lightening and asks me to if he can have a glass. I get him a pint glass from the cupboard, he fills it and downs it one and then refills it. He asked me to ring him a taxi, which I did and left without raping me or knicking any of my mothers china which he had commented on several times. Still the stench from the fucker alone meant I cried when he left.

Off the top of me head: death threats from people who mean what they say, a Sunday paper going to do a story about me and Hazel O'Connor asking: "What are you doing later?" at the end of an interview (Didn't).
