Fourteen years ago this very day I was standing in a Registry Office in Lanark, rather nervously saying I do despite the couple of swift Laphroaig's I had in The Cave on my way there.

Then we went down the clyde valley and had a rather splendid do and purvey.

This one's for L for putting up with me for what seems like no time at all to me but probably a lot longer to her.

I feel pervy when looking at Sturdy.

**The infamous pic of her was taken in 1991. She's now 38 and lives in a Minnesota trailer with second husband Kevin and 'their' 4 children (Maximus, Demi-Leigh, DJ Jiz, and Heathcliff). Sturdy has 'let herself go' a little now -since the latest de-tox week - and weighs in at 237 pounds (3 pounds of which can be put down to her extensive tattoos).

In her spare time, Sturdy enjoys crack cocaine, bingo and the clandestine attentions of car dealer Clyde.
