What one discovers in life, I find, is that one's personality defects don't come and go.
I hate to be treated as if I'm invisible. I get incensed when people talk across me or refuse to catch my eye in a restaurant or shop.
I am not against marriage. I lived with someone for 11 years. But we weren't in love, and I thought that was quite important.
I do needlepoint from kits. I give them as gifts to people in the form of cushion covers and they are often speechless with horror.
Old radio comedy makes me laugh, as well as 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' and comedians like Paul Merton.
To some people, the fact that I am not married, or don't have children, would be the reason I have written a book on punctuation.
My favorite thing in the world is a quiz show, 'University Challenge,' so you can see what kind of sad person I am.
