you're in a safer situation okay okay okay this is properly exciting uh okay off we go with your story so uh i lived in england when i was younger i moved to england when i was 20 years old and after i've been there for a year or so i decided that it was time for me to check in with the hospital with a gynecologist for this kind of an annual checkup of the female bits and it was an autumnal stormy rainy day and i come in a bit nervous i get in the chair with my legs up in the stirrups feeling uncomfortable and nervous and the doctor walks in and he says it's pouring out and my face i could not call that expressing him and then together you can walk you could walk well done gareth's delighted hello what's your name trish and where are you trish i'm in county mead in ireland okay trish off

literally bounced off the wall gave myself concussion and ended up in hospital with two broken wrists my mom said she was absolutely mortified because the doctor thought i'd been in a serious car crash and she had to say no she ran into a wall so my confirmation day we'd been rehearsing for days because the bishop was going to be there it's a really important deal i walked up the aisle my arms in plaster of paris very very nervous i knelt in front of the bishop but because my hands were in plaster i couldn't steady myself and i lost my balance completely and i went headfirst into the

remember you're trying to keep alan in that chair okay good luck everyone off you go okay so a few years ago i was working in sheffield in a theatre and we have this barn restaurant where the audience and cast would come before and after a show one night this famous person had been to see the show and came into the bar afterwards where i served them um and i was making their drinks i think it was like two gin and tonics and as i was making their drinks these two cast members came over and started asking for their photos and that kind of thing so i put the drinks on the bar they turn around pick up their drinks and then walk over to their table without paying now you're probably wondering who this famous person is it was graham norton [Applause] i knew it was gonna be me i never pay for drinks how dare she ask me for money hello oh god happy new year that is impressive [Applause] i really i'm sorry that's the future hi what's your name hi graham hi my name is megan megan and where

birthday present ever because the 31st is my birthday so thank you for happy birthday thank you this story better be good otherwise i'm getting flipped i'm going to do my best so the 31st of december is my birthday and a couple years back i was with my italian boyfriend at the time and i spent the entire day with him and he didn't say a single word about my birthday i didn't say anything thinking maybe he's got a surprise lined up and did he have a surprise so we go to this new year's eve party and as the night goes on i'm getting progressively more upset because it's starting to dawn on me that he's forgotten my birthday so the countdown comes five four three two one happy new year he turns to me bella happy birthday i'm so happy i'm number one to wish you i looked at him and i said you were the last to wish got into the me heated argument where he tried to convince me that i was wrong i had to end the argument by fetching my passport to prove to him this is my birthday you can walk
