• 7 Things to do before I die
1. run a marathon
2. play the trumpet
3. bet $10 on red at Las Vegas

• 7 Things I cannot do
1. Sing in tune
2. Play a musical instrument
3. Stop thinking
4. Find Jimmy Carr amusing. I think it's his impenetrable regional, some may say "thick" accent. Or it may be because he's a smug, misogynistic, reactionary, racist, sexist, bigoted, talentless gimp of a twonk.
5. Find numbers boring
6. Understand the appeal of motor sport. The point of a motorcar (or bike) is to get somewhere. Do something. And, maybe, return. Going round in a rough approximation of a circle. What's that about? Apart from being a euphemistic and metaphoric willy waving contest.
7. Draw. Anything. Apart from geometric figures.
8. Be incurious


• 7 Things that attract me to crows
1. They are not unblack

4. ...er - that's it.


• 7 Things I often say
1. So it goes. So it goes.
2. I'm going to have a damn fine cup of coffee
3. Fancy a cup of tea
4. Twonk!

6. Double espresso
7. That's bollocks
