I look like Julian Clary on steroids.

The way to a man's heart is through his hanky pocket with a breadknife.

How do you conduct an intimate relationship where no one ever loses it? Where no one ever lashes out, where no one ever smacks anyone in the mouth?

I love everything about books. I love the content, the way they look and even the lovely way they smell. I think a book collection says something about you as a person, and certainly my books are something I'd want to pass on for future generations.

Who do I like? I am a big fan of French and Saunders - not that that they are particularly stand-up I have to say, but I think they have been great for women and they are of themselves just incredibly funny whether they are male or female.

I have friends who vote Tory, and I'm appalled, but that's not to say they're not great people in so many other ways.

Everything becomes magnified at night. Sounds travel in a different way, it's dark, and everything seems far more spooky.
