"Is that the kind of thing you're after?" he askes. "And my mother hit me in the face with a shovel when I was five. Well, I ran into it, actually. I think it was because I thought I was getting a Curly Wurly. I've still got the scar. It's still got coal dust in it that never came out."</div> <div> He says he was a teacher's pet, and tried to be funny to make the bad boys like him. "It didn't really work," he admits. "There was one particular boy who bullied me and once he viciously kneed me in the knackers. In French - with Miss Kemp - I tried to be horrible to get in with them, and she took me outside and said, 'No', so my one attempt to be part of the gang failed."</div> <div> Instead of persevering with applications for gang membership, he used to sit inside and read. "I'm quite a good drawer, too - I was going to do art, and this drama thing was last-minute - so I used to draw my own cartoons. I still do. I never used to play out a lot."</div> <div> It  was always the same, he says, "Curtains drawn, Robinson Crusoe or The Singing Ringing Tree on the television, drawing and your mum coming in saying, 'Why don't you go out? They've come for you.'"  </div> <bR> <div> <I>- </I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><I>The above from 'The Guardian's interview with TLoG</I></FONT></div> <bR> <div> Reece used to make up volumes of imagiened dodges perpetrated by Roger.</div> <div> He once wrote to the Beano and had his letter published as 'Letter Of The Week'. The letter asked the Beano if they knew where he had left his copy of the Beano as he had forgotten. </div> <div>     </div> <div> Although Reece denies that he used to bury cats alive, he does admit to burying bees and worms alive in jars to 'see who would win'.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Reece</U></B></div> <bR> <div> "Reece Shearsmith looks like your sister's boyfriend</div> <div>  and is wearing natty Camper shoes." -Gareth McLean of The Guardian</div> <bR> <div> "Steve and I were laughing, not just at his photo but at his name too.
