some of my happiest funniest times have been spent in offices. Perhaps because the work was mudane, even the tiniest of distractions become wildly hilarious and wonderful. Actually, I'd say that 90 per cent of my doubled-over-gasping-with-laughther-laughing-so-much-that-you-can't-breathe-and-you-think-you-might-die laughing has occurred during slow days in offices.

You need to know that even as life develops in superficially disappointing ways, there is still fun to be had.

Very important to celebrate victories, however tiny, I always say.

No blessing goes uncontested. It will take a long time to get your dream.

Everyone - particularly my female friends I speak to - all say 'I wouldn't be in my twenties again if I was paid.' It's a difficult time.

I'm such a comedy fan that I just love laughing and so admire comedians who have brought me joy.

My Dear Reader Chum, a very hearty hello to you. What an honour and privilege it is to have you perusing my written word.
