Paul Thomson Quotes

Three years ago, I used to go out a lot and I used to drink quite a lot. On a Sunday night, I'd think, 'Right, I have to sign on on Thursday, and I can't forget that' and now, into the space of one day, I'm cramming in what then I would have done in two weeks. I can barely remember my old life now.
