the captain winscale interview (in firkin pub in town)  next winscale inteview

Where did the name come from?
w - I rammed a mini, head on, into a 40 ton truck when I was 19.
And when I woke up 5 days later I was thinking "how the f*** do I keep getting away with this?" - and the answer was, of course, because I am Captain Winscale.
So what does this involve apart from crashing cars?
w - I f*** up.
F***ing up is an art form in itself. Most people think F***ing up is a bad thing, because they can't do it properly. They might have seen others making a F*** up and making an arse of themselves at the same time. What they don't realise is you have to be good at one to perfect the other. The two are completely separate concepts and need to be approached in subtly different ways to get them right. To combine the two concepts succesfully needs an expert, and you're looking at one. If to err is human, I'm a f***ing superbeing.
