Sorry, I’m British and middle class, so I’ve already apologised to virtually everybody I have ever met.
My younger self for being hard on myself.
To John, a really close friend who died last year. I'd love to see him one more time and say, 'Look, I'm sorry I wasn't around enough during your life.'
To Mark Smith, a boy we bullied at primary school. I’ve always felt terrible about it.
It’s really, really nice.
The best way to spend time is to waste it.
The main courses are never as tasty as starters. But enough about my sex life.
A flight from Paraguay to South Africa that went badly wrong. The plane nearly fell out of the sky and the oxygen masks dropped. People were screaming but the pilot saved the day, and then apparently never flew again.
A strong work ethic and enough wealth not to need it.
Intrusive thoughts and caffeine.
