Whilst avoiding work by adding too many posts to a thread called "What your favourite rock band says about you", you receive an email from your sister informing you that your nephew has just sold his amp on eBay to a former member of Showaddywaddy.
You realise in light of your increasingly preposterous posts to said thread that no-one will believe what is for you already one of the best "brushes with fame" of your life thus far.
The Stranglers...
... you were bullied at school.
The Damned...
... you were the school bully
Gary Barlow
You still blame your bulimia on that cat-scratch you got when your step-dad took you to Magalouf when he was doing those duty-free runs.
It was you that put those horrible comments about your sister on the Plymouth Gazette website that time she did her Lion King dance routine for the Mayoress
Massive Attack
You are in your mid 30s and started collecting vinyl records 2 years ago even though before then you had only ever bought CDs. You deride MP3 and downloading and are considering getting into jazz sometime soon.
Half Man Half Biscuit
You are a postman from Kirby. You don't mind the 5am starts as you knock of at 12pm and this gives you ample time to pursue your other enthusiasms, namely curating your collection of vintage Tranmere Rovers programs and quoting HMHB lyrics to afternoon bar staff in struggling pubs
East 17
You are a grandmother. You are 30.
Iron Maiden (if female)
You have way too many pets that require hutches and you correspond regularly with a number of men on Death Row.

You believe there *can* be smoke without fire.
Norah Jones
You buy your CDs from the Chiswick branch of Sainsburys
Judas Priest
Despite being married to Dawn for 15 years, you had sex with a man in the local gym shower cubicle at the age of 41 and then spent some time worrying about STDs. Eighteen months later, after summoning the courage to visit a clap clinic, you learned you were okay. In the interim, Dawn took the lack of sexual activity as a major rejection and left you for an HR manager in the local education authority she met at a training workshop in Birmingham. You now live alone and make sure the only DVDs on display in the living room are David Attenborough box sets...
Michael Buble
You simply don't like music.
Rush
Because you can hear notes above 20 kHz
Queen
Your name is Gary and you drive a white Renault van.
Van Morrison
Although you don't know it you have suffered from a hearing defect since birth.
Green Day
You are a Dad in his mid 40s who grew up on punk rock and is going to live it all again by taking your 14 year old son along to Green Day gigs,(even though the tickets set you back £90 every time, and then there's the tour hoodie and wrist bands - both of which take the bill well into 3 figures). Your son, bless him, puts up with all this even though he prefers Arctic Monkeys
The Wedding Present
You are a civil servant from Batley with a wardrobe full of cardigans.
Take That
You have shiny pebbles in a glass dish and some driftwood on the shelf in your bathroom that you bought from Tesco
Eric Clapton
You have a paunch and wear diamond-pattern jumpers and consider that Stevie Nicks has let herself go a bit but even so, you wouldn't mind ... You still feel resentful about that injunction your ex-wife took out against you and use the phrase 'Women's lib' without irony
U2
You support Man Utd and live in Basingstoke. Where you were born.
Blue Öyster Cult
At sixth-form, you really preferred Rainbow, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple but you thought that girls might fancy you if you said you liked the slightly more outré group that no-one knew much about.
They didn't
Beady Eye
You're the coolest cat in the call centre. You walk like a monkey. And you're 38 years old.

You are a forty something man who still regularly views that leotard picture and ponders on what should have been.
Annie Lennox
You listen to Capital bloody radio
Leonard Cohen
You're not allowed to plug your ipod into the car stereo on long family trips.
Tom waits
see above
Rainbow
You live in the shadow of Spaghetti Junction, your idea of the perfect night out is eight pints and a curry. Your father was a prison officer and you've never stopped wearing double denim
Foo Fighters
You have never been to a rock gig without taking a picnic.
Recently, your wife let you get a tattoo.
The company is re-structuring and you may have to re-apply for your job
