REM COMPETITION

So there I was, sat at my desk, working away on something or other when my mobile rang. It was Alex M.

"I need a favour mate, I need you to write an email to XFM Radio telling them why I should win tickets to see REM in a 150-strong private performance. It's a competition they're running, see, you have to tell them you're a world record holder for something and the best one wins a pair of tickets....."

"OK, I'll get onto it" I replied and before long the following email was winding its merry way to Zoe Ball, Richard Bacon and the rest of the XFM team.....

'Dear Zoe

I am writing on behalf of my housemate and I have a bit of a sob story. He is a massive REM fan (he's not obese, what I mean is he adores their music) and he had tickets for the Brixton show a few weeks ago, but he couldn't go because he suffers from nosebleeds and once he starts, he can't stop. I believe him to be the world record holder for nosebleeds and not attending the REM show was a major blow (!).

Please please make his day and let him go to the show (I'll make sure he packs his hanky).

His name is Alex and his number is 07*** ******. Make his nose bleed with surprise! Thanks.

Jon'

And now we wait.....
