Anyone who, for 25 years, has built a career on such tenuous foundations as a high-pitched giggle, a raspberry and a sprinkling of top 'Cs' needs all the friends he can get.
My voice is not so much 'bel canto' as 'can belto'.
Hey, you're going to hurt someone if you keep doing that!!!
I suffer fools gladly because I am one of them.
My advice if you insist on slimming: Eat as much as you like - just don't swallow it.
