• When, and if, I get to 65, I'd like to say that I did everything - the lot. I'd like to think I bedded loads of babes and lived out my ultimate sex fantasies. I'd like to think I'd been through every colour with my hair and everywhere that could have been pierced on my body and been pierced. Even if all my beloved tattoos have gone saggy by then, at least I can stand up and say, I did it. Anyhow, can you think of any other job I could do?

Think about it.
