Shooting The Boot Catching On With Busted

James Bourne of Busted spoke with Top of the Pops magazine about bandmate Charlie Simpson’s disgusting drinking habit, which has been adopted by the three-piece band. “You know when Charlie’s tipsy because he’ll be drinking out of a shoe,” Bourne explained. “Shooting the boot they call it. I think it’s a public school thing. Me and my mates all do it. Bits of fluff? Take it all down. Odor eaters? Take it all down like a man. Shut up and swallow! My shoes are fine - they take many a boot shooting. I’ve even used my skanky Pumas. Well, they were the only shoes I had on!”
