That's the weird thing about not being married - you can't get regular kissing you can't be guaranteed of it, and that's a great shame.

I have had the unfortunate experience of having someone write an unauthorised biography of me. Half of it is lies and the other half is badly written. My feeling is that if I'm going to write my life story, I ought to have my life first.
