Well, I think there's not much of a chance for me finding somebody of my age. Gentlemen of my age are dropping down 30 years to find girlfriends.
I can remember when pants were pants. You wore them for twenty years, then you cut them down for pan scrubs. Or quilts.
For years I was an undiagnosed anorexic, suffering from a little-known variant of the disease, where, freakishly, the appetite turns in on itself and demands more and more food, forcing the sufferer to gain several stones in weight and wear men's V-necked pullovers. My condition has stabilised now, but I can never stray too far from cocoa-based products and I keep a small cracknel-type candy in my brassiere at all times. Fortunately, I wear a 'D' cup so there is plenty of room for sweetmeats...
I once went to one of those parties where everyone throws their car keys into the middle of the room. I don't know who got my moped, but I drove that Peugeot for years.
Thanx for all you did and said, i'm so grateful dad's not dead
I thought coq au vin was love in a lorry.

Everyone I meet is gay, married or crackers
Sexual harassment at work... is it a problem for the self-employed?
People always think I hate doing interviews. I don't. I wouldn't do them if I didn't like them.
I used to make my own food and ate on my own in my room.
Acting is not my favourite thing. I don't like wearing costumes and wigs.
In London it's easy not to be the focus of attention, especially when Sting lives in the house just behind you.
