I don't get a fair whack, I don't pursue vendettas or punch people on the nose.

What we are beginning to witness is a whole new set of rules for economics, based on rationing resources.

Perhaps if England and Scotland together had one team we could at least beat the Germans.

I will have failed in this if in five years there are not many more people using public transport and far fewer journeys by car. It is a tall order but I want you to hold me to it.

So what I did was stuff my face with anything around, any old rubbish, burgers, chocolate, crisps, fish and chips, loads of it, till I felt sick - but at least I'd had the pleasure of stuffing my face and feeling really full.

There's no excuse, it's just an opportunity that presented in a limited way and that happened and as soon as the press rang me I didn't deny it I just said 'that's it' and I had to go home and explain it.

I can tell you I'm pretty middle-class.
