I have terrible trouble writing, I'm trying to write my autobiography - not that I've had an epic life, but I've been round the block a few times and got lost along the way here and there. I have no delusions that anyone would publish it even if I sent it somewhere but it seems like a good exercise to try and arrange my funny old life in a way that others might find interesting. Trouble is everything I write reads back like a Douglas Adams novel and it aint the effect I'm after. I want a sort of emotional rags-to-riches fable. Ah well keep trying

It's not quite such a closed little circle as you imagine, Barry. My faves were the quotes by E. L. Doctorow and Saul Bellow. Mine was Chesterton's: I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
