Many people have been around at a pivotal moment in history, witnessed something they will never forget.

I remember seeing for the first ever time the episode of the Muppets when they sang the

Manah manah song in the UK .

Honestly it brings a tear to my eye thinking about it..

Manah manah bee bee beedippy.....

A girl called Michelle beat the shit out of the school bully, for picking on her brother.

9/11 had been out all day but met a friend when she finished work (she worked for the BBC) and pulled me into her office and said “have you seen this” (I hadn’t) … still think it looks like something from a disaster movie every time I see it… horrifically it was not.

As a sound engineer I worked on both Live8 and also the late, great Ms Tina Turner's last ever live show at Sheffield Arena.

I was also at Hillsborough when Paulo Di Canio infamously pushed the referee over.

I got blown up by the IRA outside the Arndale shopping centre Manchester in 1996.

I was just battered and bruised but my best mate did get some shrapnel in his arm and leg.

these days I really don't know when people are being serious or joking.

Are you genuinely saying that attacks on the world trade centre towers on the 11 September was actually fake and didn't happen?

I was nearly there for that. My Dad made a last minute decision to go elsewhere that day. A good choice, for once.
