Speech Date: oct 2003

Welcome
What a privilidege this is to ruin a good meal on behalf of my brother, people said that you cant get drunk before the speech but I think something went wrong

The last speech I used props but I couldn't find any acne for this one.
No seriously if you ever see
Two lads together, one looks bored, he's the other.
On a more serious not
You can tell a man by his mates.
At this stage I wont mention all the names because, it will take me to long.
Lee's friends are my friends, we have all been out together on numerous occasions and every time I have really enjoyed myself,
Can we please raise our glasses to toast the friends of lee and eddy or is that camsie.
That proves to me the quality of my brother

Ages of lee

The dozy years, hammered a nail into his knee, burnt of his eyebrows lighting stove, deodorant was to make breath smell nice
Lee is clever but has no common sense, the first time he sprayed deodorant in his mouth to make his breath smell better, not only did he do it he kept a straight face to try and get me to join him.
Another brain wave was when he lost his eyebrows turning on the oven. And after watching pops do a little bit of diy lee decided to follow suit, he placed a plank of wood on his knee and put a nail straight through his leg.
Now we enter stage two
The bully years, grass in mouth, knuckles on walls, The clever lightweight,
Lee has always tried to deny that for a short stage in his life he was evil, and there are several of my friends in the room who can vouch for this, meana was thrown to the grass with grass stuffed in his mouth on many occasions, Simon has been part of a life and death chase around the room before finding his knuckles being scrapped down the woodchip wall paper.
And I will never forget his the day that lee decided that we should play boxing, and with all his brotherly wisdom he decided that it would be best for his 3 stone brother to have the left glove because I would be better at blocking with my right. 5 seconds after tying my gloves I was knocked out.
We will stop there and go onto stage three
The college years lee and eddy the sweaty girl first met Love match, plain and simple
This was where lee met the love of his life, and lets face it that's what today is all about.
It's about a love match plain and simple, Claires pretty plain and lees well you work it out.
No seriously she looked ok today, normally she just looks like a female version of Forrest gump.
The uni years part 1
This is where I am going to get serious for a minute.
He's my big brother and this is my time to tell him how much impact he has had on my life.
Lee went to sixth form and didn't do as well as he would have liked,
He went to another college and didn't do as well as he would have liked.
Next onto uni, he did a hnd and tried his hardest, and never did as well as he would have liked.
This didn't deter him; he just kept pushing and driving himself to be better.
Next he did a degree and got a 2:2
Seeing this as a young kid just gave me the belief I needed. To want to follow him
And basically without his self belief and determination
I wouldn't be where I am today.
So if any one wants a membership to fitness first I will see you in the foyer in about half an hour.
But genuinely thanks lee just for being you.

The uni years part 2 Andy Pritchard carried in trolley, downy singing lee Campbell, Paul hunter waking up in a pile of sick,
I had been to parties that where mad before you now I was 16/17 so what could our lee show me.
Apart from the customary load of alcohol, and house full of people who you don't know.
There was nothing different. Except I was in Latham st
Until I opened the front door to see Andy Pritchard in a shopping trolley who then got carried up the stairs.
For about the next 6 hours Paul downy just sang lee Campbell, Craig Campbell, Darren Jones
Then it was time to wake up any one who was sleeping on the floor looked like a prune, because someone had left the shower on and Paul hunter was lying in a pile of sick, lee got up bad head and all and give Paul down the banks and made him clean up his sick
It wasn't until about 3 years later when lee confessed to having the wirlies and puking all over Paul
The lee and Claire of now. Arguing with Claire, ever tried blowing out a lightbulb. Hold in arms hold close, tell how wonderful he is.
Lee has stated in the past that arguing with Claire is the same as trying to blow out a light bulb.
Claire and lee row just like everyone does but today proves the reason why they are so good together, because they are happy and there is nothing better than that.

So can I now ask for you all to stand and raise your glasses to the happy couple lee and Claire.

Just one last thing and then I am having a scoop.

Can I say a thank you to?
Anita for making the cake.
The grange for the wonderful facilities
The musicians
The parents for making it possible.
All the friends and family
And most of all lee and Claire

Barracking
You think the doctors would freeze him until they find a cure
Snow white and dopey
