A lot of girls annoy me who go to university - one girl told me she was going to Oxford because it was something to do between leaving school and getting married. And I've got to pay for that being an income tax payer.

My misdeeds are accidental happenings and merely the result of having been in the wrong bar or bed at the wrong time, say most days between midday and midnight.

There's nothing undignified about lying about all day and being waited on by servants, sipping bloody champagne.

One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him.
