Graham was born on the 23rd of July 1983. I was excited coz I was getting a wee brother to play with. I couldn't wait to go and see him in the hospital. He was lovely-even tho he had masssive feet! He went to Eastbank Primary School. He was very clever but hated it coz people used to bully him and call him "posh boy" for being brainy. They know who they are. He once changed his name to "Encyclopaedia" coz a teacher told Mum at parent's night that's what he was like. Sometimes he got fed up at school coz the work was too easy for him. He even cut up his socks one day just coz he was bored in the class. He started Eastbank Academy in 1995 and stayed there til he finished 6th year. He got excellent exam results, even tho he didn't have time to study coz he wanted to go out with his pals. He wanted to go to university but he said the application form was too big and he thought his pals wouldn't talk to him if he went. So he didn't bother. Graham, Mum and I used to go on holiday every year to Spain (and Turkey once). He got a job in a pub in Spain when he was only 9. He washed the glasses every night for 2 weeks. He loved it! He got paid in juice and crisps. Every night after dinner (Graham usually had a bowl of soup and about 6 desserts) we went to get ice cream. Every night Graham covered his clothes in it and Mum had to wash him in a fountain in the main square! It was hilarious! He never grew out of that! The year we went to Turkey he moaned for 2 weeks coz it was too hot and his chocolate kept melting! Graham loved his food, especially chicken fajitas, braised steak and steak pie. He text every night on his way home from work to ask "can you put the dinner on please?". He used to burst into Mum's room in the middle of the night to say he was going to make something to eat and that he would just leave the dishes for her to wash in the morning coz he couldn't do it right! Another of his favourites was curry with naan bread. He stuffed the whole curry into the naan bread and when he bit into it, it went all over his face and white clothes. Graham also loved his music. He loved dj-ing and mc-ing. He was really good. He liked watching TV, especially Friends. He must've seen every episode a hundred times. When he wasn't working, he wouldn't get out of bed in the morning until he'd watched the Tweenies-Jake was his favourite! He also liked Beavis and Butthead, and was brilliant at impersonating them. He used to sing on the karaoke. We never heard him but he said he was great. He was always winning dancing competitions at parties, even tho he denied even dancing!
