What Alan Did & What Alan Did Next

A Naked Triffid

Things happen to me - well, they happen to everybody; the only difference is that I write them down when they happen to me. Cross my heart and hope to die, every single story below is true and every incident took place exactly as described.

Of course - that hasn't stopped me putting my own peculiar slant on things. In the immortal words of Spike Milligan; "I've jazzed it up a little bit".

The latest stories are at the top of the list. The further down the list you go, the older the stories get.

Enjoy...
