Tormenting "The Goat" With Mix Tapes
In the sixth form at school, I was the one of the first to pass my driving test and get a car (a cool metallic gold fiesta). Therefore I used to pick my nearest mate up every morning and we would merrily drive from Ewell to Wallington listening to loud music on my "portable cassette player", as the motor only had a "wireless". It was a 40 or so minute drive which was perfect for one side of a C90 tape.

Anyway, after a few weeks, I was pressed into also picking up another kid in my area. He was the same age, and the son of "family friends". Me and my mate had nothing in common with this kid....he was very religious, we were not....he looked astonishingly like a goat, we did not..(hence we called him The Goat).

After several days travelling, The Goat decided to bring along his own mix tape to listen to in the car...it included a lot of Whitney Houston, Mel & Kim, Salt n' Pepa etc etc. Suffice to say this ended up out the window before we got to Cheam Village.

As punishment for this terrible taste in music, for the next six months we made The Goat hold the ghetto blaster for the entire duration of the journey with it on full blast. I still chuckle recalling his grimacing, goat like face, almost in tears as the car roared with such classics as:

1) "Debaser" by The Pixies
2) "Wave of Mutilation" by The Pixies
3) "Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden
4) "You're Crazy" by Guns n Roses

His reaction never failed to amuse us...gingerly gripping the stereo..faced turned up in disgust...he must have had a headache for six months....sweeeeet.
