"I had never really given it a second thought untill one of my friends came to see me when I was 16. He was really spooked. I had been used to it and some of my best friends were absolutely out of their minds. It was natural, in a gothic kind of way."</div> <div> He was never bullied, but was always silly at school. "I look upon The League Of Gentlemen as our revenge on double PE. Those boys who walked around the football pitch talking about films instead of getting the football leathered in theirfaces have been vindicated. We've ploughed our furrow for years, and finally it has worked out."</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> As a teenager, Mark Gatiss wrote the "Hackenthorpe Book Of Lies".
