Did you hear about the dyslexic pervert who accidentally went to a warehouse, but it had been abandoned since the 80s and there was a homeless woman living inside it who agreed to have sex with him for money, so it all worked out OK?

There was a lot of negativity surrounding Lego in the 80s. You couldn't find a bus station toilet that didn't have "An impressive Lego collection is no substitute for a wife" or "There's more to life than Lego" scribbled on the walls in faeces, blood or worse. God knows why though. It was rumoured that it was all started by Mechano, but I used to live near a guy who worked for Mechano and he said it wasn't them.

It took me years to create a hit food. You probably don't know me, but I invented the "pig in the blanket". You might not remember the "chicken in a suitcase", but it was very big in Scunthorpe and certain areas of Wigan in the eighties.

Back in the 80s there was a big thing about coining popular phrases. It wasn't until 1991 that I finally came up with one; "A man with no purpose belongs in the circus" I said. As soon as the words left my mouth I knew I'd hit the big time. People would be saying it for years to come, and whenever someone said "Where did that come from?" someone would say "Lester Jackman, that's where?" It never did catch on. Looking back, it didn't even mean anything, all it did was rhyme a bit.
