Ash fans confess...
(A band as good as Ash can make do you crazy things)
Birthday wishes
My 18th birthday was fast approaching. My dream birthday card would be from my favourite band in the whole wide world…but I was pretty sure none of my thoughtless family would make it happen for me. So I bought a card, sat my brother down and dictated a letter (well, it‘d look a bit desperate if I wrote it myself wouldn‘t it?!). “Dear Ash, My sister is the greatest big sister in the world…blah blah blah…massive Ash fan….yadda yadda….please sign this card for her…etc etc…make her day…”. I paid for the stamps and frogmarched him to the post-box (still trying to kid myself that he was doing all this with just a bit of gentle persuasion from me). My special day arrived and…voila! An 18th birthday card signed by Tim Wheeler. Which goes to prove…if you want something doing…do it yourself!!!
Hot stuff
I have a fag burn on my right hand from when i was 17 and very drunk and i read in an interview that charlotte had a burn there so this guy I knew convinced me the best way to show my loyalty to ash would be to let him stub a cig out on my hand in the exact same place as Charlotte's. It really hurt :(
Schoolgirl fantasies
So I was sat in a German class at school, presumably completing some tedious exercise about how to ask the way to the nearest train station or how to tell strangers about what subjects you liked and how many brothers and sisters you had, and talking to my friend sat next to me. If I am remembering correctly we must have been chatting about music as I had my school diary out which I had covered lovingly with pictures of various musicians. Suddenly my German teacher had appeared at my side and was taking an interest in the pictures adorning my diary. "Who’s that?" she enquired, pointing towards a picture of Tim Wheeler. Knowing her to be a gullible soul and also quite possibly tapping into my own teenage schoolgirl fantasy I answered confidently, "oh that’s my boyfriend". Now it wasn’t the best lie in the world, despite my confident delivery, anybody could see that the picture in question was a magazine cutting and my friends outburst of laughter was also rather telling, however my teacher turned out to be even more gullible than I thought. "Oh is he?" she asked interestedly taking a closer look, "Yes", I replied, "don’t you think he’s good looking?" She agreed that yes he was and seemed quite happy for me before wandering off again. Embarrassing though it is now at the time I was secretly pleased that at least one person in the world thought I was Tim Wheelers other half.
