If there's anything worse than being 16, it's having parents visibly reliving their own teenage years in your anguished presence.

Of course I'm naughty. I've always had to compete for attention, you see.

I am a total coffee snob and bore. If anyone makes the mistake of offering me 'a coffee' they tend to regret it - I'm worse than Mariah Carey, and the hot milk rider is completely non-negotiable.
