Funny
and scary in equal measure, Grover is a class funny man. He's famed
for his character, Bulla, the East End hard man, and his turn in Johnny
Vaughan's 'Orrible' - not forgetting, of course, his seminal cameo
in the Born Sloppy film of the book, Jesus
vs Santa). He is funny. Right?

Ricky confronted us on the Born Sloppy back stairwell and demanded
to be interviewed. We weren't in a position to refuse.
Can you tell us an amazing fact? The difference between
a midget and a dwarf is dwarves are the ones with big heads and the
midgets the ones with the little heads. It’s really important.
What have you been listening to lately? Dr Dre. He’s
absolutely mustard. What was the first record you ever bought?
I didn’t buy it. I nicked it. It was Marvin Gaye ‘Let’s
Get It On’ Ever gone too far at a gig? I done
a gig recently and I was really slagging off midgets. I was really
giving midgets stick. And there was a midget in the front row. And
that sort of really embarrassed me. But we ended up really good friends
and she’s indoors at the moment. Hanging upside down. In the
cellar. Ever been a fight? Ever been in a fight?
Have a look for fucks sake. What do you reckon? WHAT DO YOU RECKON?
“Have you ever been in a fight?” Yeah I’ve been
in lots of fights. Any of them stick in your head? Yeah
I had a fight with ginger boy outside my house and the dad came after
me. I had a fight with the dad as well. You took out the dad?
Yeah so I wiped out a ginger family. That was quite a good one. Ever
been arrested? Yeah I’ve been arrested. What
for? When my wife was pregnant, a bloke in a shoe shop sold
her some shoes but they were dodgy shoes. I took them back and the
geezer attacked me and I attacked him back and I was arrested for
it. With the shoes? No but I had a right result.
In the end I got my money back and the shoes. What did you
dream of doing as kid? I wanted to be an artist. Like a painter.
I didn’t actually dream of it though. My dreams were like those
mad things we all have. Bits of your uncle walking round with horses
legs and all that. Thank you. Pleasure.
