A portrait Gavin painted of our family back in 1995. Used to say “Merry Christmas” but I ruined it with a shitty photoshop.
As a special birthday gesture, I called around the McInnes family tree (which isn’t really a tree, more like a twig) to ask them to say a little “Happy Birthday Gavin.”
The first phone call was our mom. She forgot. After that I called our Gran. She also forgot but that’s okay because she is 91 and the sweetest woman in the world.
Then it was time to call my dad who sounds like a British fag but is actually a hooligan who still gets into bar fights. He gave a really interesting account of why Gavin was born in the month of July which pissed off our mom.

There are two theories going for our dad’s faggy, pompous accent.
1- HIS SONS’ THEORY
He is obsessed with denying his working class roots and wants to come across, not as a brawling barfly from the Gorbals, but as a posh aristocrat from North London.
2- HIS THEORY
Nobody understands a Glaswegian accent so he was forced to over enunciate every word. This careful way of speaking just so happens to sound English and gay.
Whatever the reason is, we know the Glesca ‘ard man lurks within because every time he talks in his sleep we hear, “Ah’ll fuckin’ ba’er you, so ah wull! You’re a wee shite of a man, so ya are.”
