I used to curse my parents for having brought me into the world each time I stubbed my toe. I mean, imagine bringing kids into the world knowing how painful a stubbed toe is. Recklessly I forgot all about that when I had my own. In answer to your question, I don't thnk it would make any difference.

Ah good luck. Those waiting lists are a nightmare. We had to wait two years to get our eldest an autism diagnosis and didn't have the sense to put him in for ADHD at the same time, so another two years wait for that one.

Oh I dunno, the allure of plastic chairs in an old vestry is what gets me up on a Saturday morning

Has a predominantly English speaking person ever nailed the French for squirrel and, conversely, has a French person ever said the English word squirrel with any success? Vive la différance...

Haha, oh well. Serious Q: have you tried therapy? Therapy sorted me right out on a number of levels and in a weird way I do think it's unfair that alcoholics get this support network for next to nothing. I guess it's compensation for not being able to get pissed so I suppose it evens itself out.

It's all that undigested meat in your guts. Like a groaning cemetery.

It gets bloody cold, mind. Friends of mine from there lived in London for a bit and for them they said it was like being somewhere tropical 😂

Dunno! It said so when I did a quick Google but it could be nonsense of course

Funnily enough, I just looked on Visit Faroe Islands' Insta and you're definitely not wrong

It's a fascinating place. Probably my favourite press trip ever.

Football is almost entirely disappointing these days so it would be nice for something completely unexpected like that to happen.

The Faroes Islands (population: 30,000 and I met most of them when I was there last year, a lovely bunch) just beat Czech Republic (population: 10.8m) in a World Cup qualifier. It's their third win in a row. Imagine the Faroes going to the World Cup!

I suppose my parents' divorce and me falling out of things should probably have gone in there somewhere

Yeah, it's weird that it comes from a "contemporary series". It's got 1969 on the label which was the year of release I believe.
