Privatisation splits hospital services into increasingly small packages.

Fat people are brilliant in bed. If I'm sitting on top of you, who's going to argue?

You know it's time for a New Year's resolution to lose weight when you step on a talking scale and it says, One at a time, please.

There's still this underlying image of women that they should fulfil a certain role. It's no accident that a lot of men who are a bit misogynistic tend to say things like 'get back to the kitchen' or 'why aren't you at home looking after the kids'.

I have two brothers and we basically spent our lives playing in the woods, falling in ponds, getting chased by wasps and riding donkeys that we shouldn't have been riding.

How do you conduct an intimate relationship where no one ever loses it? Where no one ever lashes out, where no one ever smacks anyone in the mouth?

I believe that if your brain has to get to grips with complicated words, then you won't get Alzheimer's. I'm sure it's not true, but I do believe it.

I have friends who vote Tory, and I'm appalled, but that's not to say they're not great people in so many other ways.
