I don't like rats, but there's not much else I don't like. The problem with rats is they have no fear of human beings, they're loaded with foul diseases, they would run the place given half the chance, and I've had them leap out of a lavatory while I've been sitting on it.

I remember when we were in the World Cup in Australia and I had to win the singles against Tony Payne, best of seven legs, to win it.
