A slug is always on its own. It's a lonely insect.
For me, a good holiday is about value for money rather than things to see.
I'm not that lazy, but I don't need that much money. I lead a fairly simple life.
The other day I was thinking - because I get a lot of headaches - I was wondering whether the head should be where it is. Because, at the end of the day, it's probably the heaviest part of your body, right? And yet it's at the top as opposed to, I don't, dangling at the bottom somewhere.
But I'm not an idiot. At the end of the day, I've learned a lot.
That's the problem with having a bald head. It exaggerates the shape.
When you've been on a programme called 'An Idiot Abroad' job offers aren't exactly flying in.
I just sort of go along and say what I think -and that's all you can do in life, really.
You can only talk rubbish if you're aware of knowledge.
Where you are is what you eat. When I'm in London I'll have beans on toast for lunch. On holiday - what? Tapas? Go on then I'll have a bit. You eat whatevers in that area.
So you're sayin that it's easy to send somat up to space, but you don't believe there's a little banana machine?
Why is it alright to be going around, going mental with a gun, shooting all the monkeys and killing them? Because one day we're going to run out.
Could the world fall?
They say it all started out with a big bang. But, what I wonder is, was it a big bang or did it just seem big because there wasn't anything else drown it out at the time?
