Last Orders: Dan Leech

I’ve never come across such keenness to complete a “Last Orders” before. I sent Dan a quick message inquiring if he’d be interested in doing one for us, and withing the hour I’d received a short note stating that he’d be more than happy to do so, followed swiftly by a completed list of lasts. I didn’t even have time to finish writing Dan a set of personal questions, he had simply gone on the site and copied the questions used for Ste Roes “Last Orders” the weekend before last, so some of the questions might have seemed a little odd. I was contemplating sending over a few more personally tailored questions over to Mr Leech, but thought better of it. From time to time it’s good to embrace the randomness; it can be quite entertaining…

Person you spoke to: My wife.

Trick you filmed: 360 flip Besos rail.

Trick you lost: Front blunts on mini, I think I have them down, then the next time I try it I’m nowhere near!

Time you feared for your life: When some chav pricks pulled a knife out on me in Peterborough. I was chilling in the back of the car while my mates went to use a cash machine, next thing these idiots get in the front of the car and start shouting at me to get out, pulls a knife out and tells me to give him my stuff. Luckily my pockets were empty, they took the car for a spin. and then fucked off to probably hassle some grannys…

Time you were outraged: Every time I see the news, the world’s going mad!
