Audience Question
"What personal details about your boss would you like made public?"
- He's got two mistresses, never starts work before 11 and spends half the day playing computer games... God, I love being self-employed.
- How much of what you earn is down to my genius.
- His name. I've forgotten it. It's rather awkward.
- The secret location of his arse and elbow.
- He's a tiny Swedish trans-gender who owns three fetish shops in Glasgow and has his own website. Public enough I feel.
