Listen, someone's screaming in agony- fortunately I speak it fluently

There is a time to live, a time to die, a time to laugh, and at no time are the three of them very far apart.

I'm Irish. We think sideways

Render any politician down and there's enough fat to fry an egg.

I have got so low that I have asked to be hospitalized and for deep narcosis (sleep). I cannot stand being awake. The pain is too much... Something has happened to me, this vital spark has stopped burning - I go to a dinner table now and I don't say a word, just sit there like a dodo. Normally I am the centre of attention, keeps the conversation going, - so that is depressing in itself. It's like another person taking over, very strange. The most important thing I say is 'good evening' and then I go quiet.
