I Was Kurious, Stude

Just realised that my one and only appearance in the pages of the NME was ten years ago this week. Oasis were on the cover (natch) and me and four mates were pictured with Terry Staunton somewhere on the news pages after we won a national student pop quiz co-sponsored by the NME and that very rock'n'roll beverage, Coca-Cola (I still have the trophy - a bottle of coke encased in glass - gathering dust on a shelf). The text alongside the photo described us as a "curious looking bunch of studes". It's a school of thought I suppose.
