THE SLIMY GIT INTERVIEW

Slimy Git (manager, guru, svengali and scheming rich bastard), kindly donated five minutes of his precious time at a special rate.

How did you get involved with the Lads?

Customers in one of my shops kept requesting records.
I made enquires, and found that none existed.
I decided to put a record out myself. It was a godawful din,
but people seemed to like it.

Is it true that you were the only one who made any money out of the band?

On the contrary. All my boys received a handsome remuneration, which I invested for them. They all own shares in my seal-clubbing company, my slave trading companies and my animal experiment labs.
I read that the Lads only received £10 when they signed with Polygram
 Ah yes. Well there were a lot of expenses incurred whilst negotiating that deal.
Someone absconded with the takings from a gig in 1984.
The Lads couldn't find you..

That was not me.
 I think you will find I was in Bournemouth at the time.
So why did you spend 6 weeks under the floorboards of a sweet shop in Hull?
 I had dropped a shilling and was determined to find it.
   
Someone once stole the Lads beer fund, didn't they?
 An amazing coincidence. Not only did the thief look like me, but the exact same amount was deposited in my Swiss bank account the next day. Fortunately I was in Bournemouth at the time.
What are you doing these days?
 I am very busy. I have new workhouses opening all the time, some sweatshops in the Far East, and my landmine factories are operating at full capacity.
   
You have several homes,
which is your favourite?
 I spend as much time as I can in my Prestbury mansion. I like to walk in the countryside, especially along the River Bollin. I was there this morning, drowning some puppies, and a thought struck me: Why haven't supermarket trollies learned to swim?
What is your favourite Macc Lads song?
 Whichever one has made the most money.
