As some of you know, my first date with my wife was to “Shaun Of The Dead” and so it holds a special place in my heart. I took the tickets from the film off a friend who at the last minute couldn’t go. She had won them in a local radio contest. The first person I asked to go was another friend and he bailed so I thought to myself. Gee, that girl at Starbucks sure is cute. I had spoken maybe half a sentence to her previously, something like, “Hi, Yeah, ah, grande dark please”. I ran off to Starbucks and asked her in line to go with me. Boom Pow. Now am I Mr. Cool or what? Non stop frivolity ensued that evening thanks to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and we’ve been married a year.

Zombies were not her thing so if Shawn was just a little bit less funny I shudder to think of the consequences. So it is to Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost that I owe my current and future happiness to. Thanks fellas.

In Nov, the boys got together for a little reunion over a pint or two via Total Film and they obviously invited a few old friends. Wish I could have been there.
