My first was born in Hammad hospital, Doha in '97. Men were not allowed into the delivery room (thankfully!) so while the action was occuring I spent the time in the ward room watching sport on TV and drinking the beers I had sumggled in.

I was 21, so think that drink probably played a huge part!

Had a shit job, but was thin (sigh), still lived with my parents, so life was easy.
