Snowboarding. Reading. Formula One. Literature/Writing. Theatre. The Guardian Crossword. A cup of tea. Picking up random knick-knacks from various places that make my house look like an organised charity shop with all the good bits left in. Chess. Writing my story. Other people. (Not in the Big Brother sense, in the people-watching on the train and making up their life stories sense). Art that i like.(....) Finding bargains in places that are unexpected. FOOD. Especially pickled onions and olives. Although I have a craving for preserved artichokes at the moment, they're far too pricey.GIN SLINGS!

Sybi— She's in the hospital, you silly girl! Polly: Yes, call her there! Basil: I can't! I've got too much to do. [whispering loudly] Listen, don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it alright. [Basil returns to the Germans.] Basil: So! It's all forgotten now, and let's hear no more about it. So, that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering, and four Colditz salads. [The younger Frau is sobbing openly now, consoled by the elder Herr.] Basil: Now, wait a minute. Well, I got a bit confused here. Sorry! I got a bit confused, 'cause everyone keeps mentioning the war. So, could you— what's the matter? Elder Herr: It's all right. Basil: Is there something wrong? Elder Herr: Will you stop talking about the war?! Basil: ME?! You started it! Elder Herr: We did not start it! Basil: Yes you did — you invaded Poland!'
