Tubes' Diary
Under the weather
Burning the candle at both ends
Last updated: 30th September 2008
I decided to head home and got on the tube at Wimbledon... three hours later I woke up and I was still at Wimbledon station! I'm not quite sure what happened in between but I don't think I want to know!

Quotes of the week
After seven days of burning the candle at both ends it's finally caught up with me and I've come down with a bit of a cold.
It's never pleasant but it's been a great week so I can't complain.
Last Thursday I flew to Manchester for the premiere of Ryan Giggs' new DVD and I have to say that he is one of the nicest men I've ever met.
He really is as down to earth and cool as you would expect and I can't speak highly enough of him.
After the interview I headed to the red carpet and tried to grab as many celebs as I could. Top of my list were United players and I managed to get Rio Ferdinand, Anderson and Cristiano Ronaldo to come over and have a chat, although Ronaldo needed a bit of persuading from the others!
Ian Brown also came over and said he thought I was on drugs because of my rap, which was a bit harsh! I'm not by the way!
I would have loved to stay and watch the premiere but time was against us and I had to catch my plane back to London - but even though it was a flying visit it was a good one.
On Sunday I headed to Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea take on United.
I was pretty confident going into it and so the draw was a little disappointing but it's not a bad point. I think Deco probably would have made a difference in the game but of course he got injured during the warm up.
If anything I was more annoyed with the fact that I lost three hours of my life after the game!
I decided to head home and got on the tube at Wimbledon... three hours later I woke up and I was still at Wimbledon station! I'm not quite sure what happened in between but I don't think I want to know!
The high point of this week was going to see Liam Neeson at a junket for his new film Taken.
I wasn't sure what he would be like but he was a class act and gave a really funny answer to my question about his favourite meal, which you'll be able to see on the show in a couple of weeks.
He also told me that he wouldn't do a rap like mine for a $1 million! I'm starting to think people aren't taking me seriously!
Later,
Tubes.

Tubes answers your questions...
Hi Tubes, raps aren't my strong point so I've just got one question and one question only for you. What was your first ever junket? And were you bricking it when you went to do it?
John Adey
TUBES REPLIES: The first ever film junket I did was with Ray Winstone and yes I was completely bricking it! I was quite lucky that when I got there he knew what was going on and what to expect because he had been on the show before. It was probably one of the best ones that I've done but I was definitely wetting myself when I got there.
Tubes raps all the time, but yet it's never a mime - ooh drop it down low. Right what I want to know is what is your best ever rap line?
Tom Narey
TUBES REPLIES: That's a tough one because there have obviously been so many good ones to choose from! I think the best one though has to be my rap for Monty Panesar, which went something like this:
"Monty, Monty Panesar, I bet you've got a right nice car, Ferrari and Mercedes Benz - spin bowl from both ends!"
Yeah I know...sick lyrics!
Tubes, has, got the lot. When he lays down the rhymes he's smokin' hot! Your a quality bloke Tubes. Men want to be you and women want to change you, but what I want to know is what is your worst nightmare. To have your head shaved or see Chelsea go down?
David Ainscough
TUBES REPLIES:Hair always grows back so Chelsea going down would be the worst thing ever.
Your rhymes are sick! Your dress is slick! THE BIG QUESTION IS HAVE YOU GOT A BIG......................KICK! GET OUT! Hahaha. Tubes you're a top bloke and so my one question and one question only is; if you could be anyone in the world who would it be?
Mikey Stewart
TUBES REPLIES:If I could be anyone I would be Roman Abramovich. He's minted, has a fit girlfriend and best of all he owns Chelsea and gets to watch every single one of their matches... it doesn't get much better than that!
Hi guys!!!!! Tubes I saw you at the running mare in Cobham last week and u were spitting lyrics to the bar maid and she was in hysterics ...what I wanna know is what were you saying to her and can you give me some chat up lines?
Mike Defoe
TUBES REPLIES: Hi Mike! Good to hear from you again and thanks for taking me to the carnival. My conversation with the barmaid went something like this:
'I think you're finger licking, oh my gosh I love jerk chicken!'
