Did I ever tell you about the time....

I recycled Brian Eno’s helium canister

A friend of a friend is an author. One of his famous friends is Brian Eno. Author was doing a reading in a book store somewhere awfully fashionable in London; one of the pieces he was reading was supposed to be read by a woman. Eno, for larks, turned up with a canister of helium for the author to huff from during the reading, for its vocal modification properties.

Another friend of my friend (full of wine) thought to themselves, “Wow, that’s Brian Eno’s helium - I know someone who’d like that!” That particular friend of my friend thought better of it when sober, and left it in my friend’s flat.

Two months later, I visited her and offered to take it back to a recycling centre. Brian Eno’s helium canister was recycled in a South Wales valleys council facility.
