Even though it\u2019s out there for anyone who cares to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But having established that my guess was correct, I thought, what\u2019s to lose? I\u2019ll see if he\u2019s \u2018home\u2019. And sure enough he was. It looked like break-time, in the lounge, with Rick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin spotted me approaching, and answered the door. I\u2019m not a fanboy type generally. But I do love Colin and his wacky YouTube shenanigans. Especially all the underground stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had an \u2018underground tunnel club\u2019, as a kid, and planned a <em>Great Escape<\/em> style getaway between my primary school and our home (about three miles!). Unfortunately we lived next door to an electricity sub-station\u2026 and, guess what!? Anyhoo, that\u2019s another story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d have liked to have asked for a guided tour. But I was working. And so, in all likelihood, was Colin. So I demurred. Asking only for a selfie with him. And he obliged. I hope one day, if I\u2019m in the area again, I might pluck up the courage to ask to have a look around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d have loved to have stopped and chatted more. Maybe another time? Still, meeting him and finding out where the underground stuff is happening <em>really<\/em> made my day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin, you\u2019re a major dude!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and note to self: get a selfie-stick, and\/or learn to take better selfies. Colin looks great. I look like a right tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst delivering in Stamford, I passed what looked suspiciously like it might be Colin Furze\u2019s property.
