I thought I was fooling people. But it's the old thing of 'they say vodka doesn't smell'. No, not until you sweat. And you just lie and lie and you think 'I can deal with this'. And then you finally go, 'No you can't'. And then you give up.

Golf is one of the few sports where a white man can dress like a black pimp and not look bad.
I'm looking for Miss Right, or at least Miss Right Now
It never fails - you get in the bath and there's a rub at the lamp
