This
will be my first trip of the year, I’ve been so busy
with the office and such, doing the adverts and the web site
as well, I’m really looking forward to it, I’ve
got to take a load of photos for the brochures, web sites etc,
a bit of promo stuff, luvvies.
I
shall of course be joined on my big adventure by the “Skid”, he’s
my personal driver and stunt double, anything slightly dangerous
and he steps right in for me. He’s worked in
the movie business as well as a stunt double and bit part
actor/extra, you may well have seen him in a variety of films,
for instance who could forget his fine portrayal of the “Gimp” in
Gulp Fiction. Years of practice of living in a box helped
the “Skid” land
that role no one else but

the “Skid” could
of got that orange ball in his mouth!!!
“One
Fell out of the Cuckoo’s Nest” was another; I think he made
the tea in that one. The part that really made him was Jabba
the Slut, in “Start Wars” he made that part his own, mind
you once he’d been in the costume, everyone else refused to put
it on. Who could forget his remarkable display of a dead body
in the opening
scene of the Normandy landings in that great classic “Shaving
Ryan’s Privates”, that’s where he first met Ian, the
window dresser/hairdresser, make-up artiste to the stars, he
tells me. In fact Ian’s now my personal assistant, personal trainer
he’s
my stylist, and fusses over what I shall wear for each days
photo shoots, I try not to hurt his feelings but “Off the shoulder
numbers and peep toe sandals” ain’t my thing mate!!
