I am 54 and age is slowly writing itself on my face.

My sister-in-law believes that few narratives are so tightly constructed that you can't skip boring bits and still keep abreast of what's going on.

It was Julie Burchill who decreed that, beyond a certain age, a man should not be seen in a leather jacket.

I couldn't really see the point of having lunch unless it started at 1:00 and ended a week later in Monte Carlo.

It's worth turning up to an awards gig if you know you've won one but, since you never do know, it's not worth it.

I abhor nothing more than bumping into someone I know on the Tube.

Comedy ages quicker than tragedy, to the extent that we can't know if the 10 commandments may originally have been 10 hilarious one-liners.
