But I'm not an idiot. At the end of the day, I've learned a lot.
It's not easy keeping a diary. You have to be pretty committed.
Stay green, stay in the woods, and stay safe.
I was impressed by the Taj Mahal. A good bit of work, well looked after, worth paying money to see.
I am into nature and seeing whales. I went whale-watching, and I was really looking forward to that, but when you see it on TV and you see other programs do it, you're seeing close-ups of these massive creatures, and the music that's added gives you a certain feeling.
I'm not a proper traveler. I don't like to be challenged or have too much of a change and prefer a week away just to relax.
I've got loads of nieces and nephews.
It wouldn't happen... There hasn't been one publication by a monkey
I don't want to go about offending people, that's not my plan.

At the end of the day, teachers aren't going to mess about trying to make me into an Einstein, 'cause it was never gonna happen. We can't all be brainy, can we? That's just the way the world is.
