Two quotes pop into my head. One is Robert Plant, accused of producing rock by numbers, who said that if you are a footballer and you score all your goals with your left foot, you don't try and score more headers, you just bang them in. You do what works. The other is Stephen Covey who said: "The main thing is to make the main thing the main thing." You have to play to your strengths. Two quotes pop into my head.

It's just some part of us that has to come out. Admittedly not all of it is inspired greatness. We still HAVE to do it in some way or another. You can fight it and say oh I don't need to do this, but we always come back. I'm American they don't do the bathtub bit as much here, but I have seen a number of canoes go downhill.

Eventually, though, they found some space on a ward and I made a complete recovery. I didn't type this, they made me do it. I went downhill in a bathtub once.

And the bathtub thing - he owns that gag. OWNS it. You stick anyone else in a bathtub and push them down a hill, people are going to go "Last Of The Summer Wine".

Scary - Don't remind me. The horror. The LOOK of horror of the faces. Mind you, they probably aren't big TIT readers.* Sam - Stuff like this. Writing bits of stuff about things.

Extra credit if you were wearing green wellies and an old jacket tied up with string, whilst professing a liking for old ladies in wrinkly stockings.
