I've got a friend whose nickname is "Shagger". You might think that's pretty cool. She doesn't like it.
I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.
I was a Christian. I didn't want to have sex before marriage, I was a bit uptight and not very self-confident. I was a virgin until I was 26.
Boxers don't have sex before a fight. Do you know why that is? They don't fancy each other...
I pay what I have to and not a penny more.
I like to write a joke without any fat on it.The shorter the better. I cater for people with ADD, basically.
I think the idea that death is not the end, that your dog's just gone to live on the farm, is limiting. Thoughts like that prevent you from making the most of the time that you have.
Eighteen years since the Chernobyl disaster. Is it just me surprized? Still no superheroes!
I didn't plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny, and mine happen to be often rude. Yes, it's juvenile, but that's me.
I am trying to release endorphins here. I am not preaching to you - I am trying to make you laugh.
Even if you're doing the national insurance awards, there's still that excitement when you wonder who is going to win, er, best premiums.
Jesus loves you... He's not 'in love' with you.
Ten years after the Chernobyl accident, and am I the only one that's disappointed? Still no superheros.
My dad's dying wish was to have his family around him. I can't help thinking he would have been better off with more oxygen.
