I will not get upset over men, but instead be poised and cool ice-queen.

It is horrid to smirk.

I come from Yorkshire in England where we like to eat chip sandwiches - white bread, butter, tomato ketchup and big fat french fries cooked in beef dripping.

But if you are single the last thing you want is your best friend forming a functional relationship with somebody else.

I had my daughter by C-section, so knew when and where she was going to be born. I got freakishly organized and prepared a group e-mail birth announcement. Unfortunately, I accidentally pressed Send All. I then had to send another e-mail saying, "I'm really sorry but I haven't actually had the baby yet." Then, when I actually did have the baby, I felt too embarrassed to send another e-mail saying, "I've definitely had the baby now."

Don't say 'what,' say 'pardon,' darling, and do as your mother tells you.

I like you very much. Just as you are.
