1. "It was about 2am and there was enough moonlight to see across my open-plan garden, unprotected by fences or even hedges … Vinnie jumped into his Mini and wheel-skidded it across the lawn. Then he fairly screamed off down the road and we could hear him really giving it some stick around the estate."

It was 11am on Bank Holiday Monday, the streets around Leicester city centre were quiet and for the next seven hours a needle loaded with ink was going to be jamming into my ribs, stomach, hips and back. A four-pack was my anaesthetic."
