Neil Delamere is a storyteller, full of anecdotes about his travels and experiences, from his altercations with short policemen to his logistical nightmare of making love to a 6ft tall woman.
Naturally cheeky, Neil is a warm entertainer who, whilst not reinventing the wheel with his style, goes by the mantra of if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Neil's stories come with theories and insights that your average man may have overlooked including how viking children will act when after a few drinks and what to say when you get caught speeding.
However, he's pretty sure he won't be fronting the new Ryanair ad campaign.
