I am in fact a sequel to myself, a sequel to the original McIver who came before me, but who also was me. It gets even more complicated when I say that the original McIver wasn&#8217;t a human but he was in fact a radiator.<\/p>\n<p>When I was first &#8220;born&#8221; I was created in a factory because I was a radiator. For the first thirteen years of my life I was installed in a strip club in one of the nicer areas of London where beautiful semi-naked women would rest their booties on me to keep them warm during the winter months. It was agony during the spring and the summer unless a particularly nasty cold spell meant they needed my assistance. Unfortunately this was not to last.<\/p>\n<p>For the next thirteen years of my life, when the strip club was closed down on indecency chrges, I was placed in an old people&#8217;s home in Coventry. It can only be described as the biggest test of anyone&#8217;s patience imaginable. The horrors that took place there I will never speak of again (until someone pays me to write my memoirs). Want a sample? Two words: wrinkly bottoms.<\/p>\n<p>It was then that I was signed up for another thirteen year stretch in another part of the world. I would have done anything to get out of there. It became apparent though that in my desperation to escape I did not check the fine print on the piece of paper. I have signed up to radiate the sea underwater; unfortunately the thirteen years didn&#8217;t pan out quite as successfully though as I suffocated after 98 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Look how I turned out though!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it&#8217;s only fair to let everyone know, and when I say everyone currently I just mean Kev, that I am not the original Ian McIver.
