I have, however, written 4 books and a mini sitcom during these past 7 years....So, maybe it's been a trade-off. I prefer to think so.
Where did you move from Skibs?
Oh wow! Have you still got the accent?

Good boy. 
1) I have a particular hatred for certain sounds and they can cause me to experience white-outs in my head. The sound of teeth clacking when eating is one. When it's particularly sensitive even the sound of my own eating upsets me. Saliva sounds in speech makes me cringe.
2) I can enter a room of strangers only if I haven't seen my reflection. If I do, I can't enter.
3) I have many pets and can visualise them all mentally. But my first rabbit (who died) I can't conjure a picture of him mentally. I look at pictures but don't recognise him 'in my head'. It's a mental block. I make video diaries of my 'boys and girls' in preparation for after their passing so I can watch when I'm feeling vulnerable.
4) I hate any form of transport in which I'm not in direct control.
5) I never answer a phone.
6) I always make sure I know who's at the front door. If it isn't someone I expect then I hide until they've gone. Even if they see me hiding - which has happened.
7) I always say Yes to a person because I can't say a blunt 'No'. I make an excuse to leave and then flake out. Partly the reason behind 5 and 6.
8) I physically 'feel' changes in my emotional state, it's like the pressure of a car going around a tight corner. Sometimes I have trouble knowing if I'm very low or very high. During those moments, I'm close to vomiting. Even being aware of my feelings can send me into a few minutes of 'roller-coaster' .
9) I always examine the toilet bowl after I've been, before and afer flushing.
10) Years after a particular event I can physically cringe and groan involuntarily, even in public. It's as if the event is actually still 'happening'. The emotional memory of a situation never fades even if the actual memory does.
11) I cannot bear having someone touch the back of my hands, the tops of my feet, or my testes. I have to be drunk to self-examine.

SlagA, can I have all of your money?
I'll say yes then walk out the room and cancel the cheque.
Being slightly germ-phobic, I tend to flush public toilets with my foot, thereby ensuring that the handle becomes contaminated with all the nastiness from the bottom of my shoe.

And I tend to use my penis, which explains why I've got a verruca on the bell-end.
I have never wanted you more...

Are tissues too hard to come by?
During my compulsive hand-washing phase I became extremely adept at turning lavatory handles and opening doors with my feet. Drawpulls were always a challenge though.
Now I am so phobic about once again becoming germ phobic that I border on the insanitary.

How would I get a tissue to stay affixed to my shoe?
