It's like your children talking about holidays, you find they have a quite different memory of it from you. Perhaps everything is not how it is, but how it's remembered.

It's a funny kind of month, October. For the really keen cricket fan it's when you discover that your wife left you in May.

I defy anyone to get a decision that quickly these days.

You know you're getting old when a four-letter word for something pleasurable two people can do in bed together is R-E-A-D.

Then after that came word processors and it's hard to make those laugh.

If the laughter of the audience was malicious we wouldn't show it.
