My Ear Candy #20 Andy Duggan

I'm on a roll, that's two weeks running my guests have chosen good music on my Stoney Baloney show after weeks of sentimental guff and bog standard middle of the road snorathons (apologies previous guests but I'm not saying anything I didn't say directly to you.) This week's guest was Andy Duggan, a Stonehaven based tradesman offering DIY services to folk incapable of turning their hand to matters practical, i.e. folk like me. A nicer guy you couldn't meet (him not me) and we enjoyed a good hour's chat interspersed by his six song selections all of which were acceptable, not something we can usually claim.

Turns out he's an occasional bouncer too so not a bloke to be trifled with and he regularly DJ's at family functions and the like. Make you sick don't they these multitalented individuals. It doesn't leave much spare time when you're running three jobs though so our conversation about hobbies and interests lasted thirty seconds flat and didn't encompass much beyond watching telly. Speaking of which, I was simultaneously watching the box while broadcasting, Villa were playing Bristol City in an evening kickoff and, predictably, they did nothing to improve my mood. My football team are abysmal but I feel compelled to witness their awfulness each time they're on Sky, not for much longer though, much more of them I cannot stand.

On the way out of the building after the show I sneaked a peek at the horticulture show exhibits that had been laid out in the town hall ahead of the judges' scrutiny on Saturday morning. I've never been to a horticultural show before and it felt somewhat surreal viewing it in the dead of night in a dimly lit hall, trestle tables stretched out for yards containing all manner of flowers, foliage, fruit and veg. I was fascinated by the display and was drawn in particular to the enormous carrots, monstrous marrows and gargantuan onions, their smell thankfully overridden by the fragrant flowers that circled the room. Andy and I took one last look at the football sized cabbages and scarpered into the night, our pleasant evening ending in peculiar fashion.
