I wish I lived by some ludicrous maxim so I could join in.

I always liked the one of thinking what would someone you admire do. Not so good when you're a young teenager and you're idol's Sid Vicious. Huh?

I'm working on the Indian market now. Bigger audience.

:O Racist!

Ah. the lovely Sid. I remember seeing the video for C'mon Everybody on Tiswas, where he hasn't got a crash helmet on. (Or was it Something Else?) Naughty Sidney!

In Scandinavia, they call a Swiss Army knife a MacGyver knife. How cool is that?

She did always have a go at me about my sarcasm. "It's not nice, Chipolata. Why do you do it?" she would say. Except she used my actual name.

Somewhere in the thyme-strewn rocky highlands of Cyprus, beneath an azure sky, there's a whitewashed village occupied by satsuma-eating filth-mongerers. Probably.
