“I would love to be able to fall asleep quickly. I don't know how some people do it but they can put their heads on the pillows and fall asleep almost immediately.

I wouldn't want to fall asleep on trains and buses though and miss my stop.”

“I had trouble sleeping when the money troubles were getting the better of me. I've found two ways that make me sleep pretty quickly. When you go to bed try and put all your worries to the back of your mind (works with practice). Now, try and think of something that really made you feel happiest in your life. Could be the memory of a happy event or a person that you have in high esteem. Try and keep that in the forefront and relax your mind to everything else. That works for me.

The second is tricky. Still trying to keep your mind free of worries and on a quiet plain if you will, try and imagine someone saying something to you, someone you know, perhaps a distant partner or relative. Try and pick out words they might say, a phrase they might use. Keeping relaxed, try and push away every other thought and keep these things in the forefront. Once again, with practice you might find it works.”

“Just one thing?

Can`t I have a list of things please?

One thing I would like to change is that I`d like to be a little bit harder. I tend to take things to heart too quickly and hate confrontations.”

“flossy

Well jz asked for 5 films and I gave at least 10 but no, only one thing.

I am sure you are perfect in every other way. :-))”

“Anxiety ... I think too much ... I worry about worrying :)

I would also be immune to hangovers ... they have got worse with age and are now starting to outway the pleasure of social drinking”

“jz

We all get to that point with hangovers!”

“I'm happy to be good looking, generous, hard working, the perfect husband, perfect mate and I'm too modest by far. but there you go, we can't all be perfect.”

“My intellect. I would rather like one that was bespoke and not off the peg.”

“I'm going to play this safe and say my big feet. Size twelve means that not every shoe is available in that size. Annoyingly elevens are plentiful. Suppose they have to stop somewhere for us deformed types!”

“Be Taller i am only 5ft 3ins, It can be quite murder looking for a decent pair of jeans to fit us, "I must be a deformed as well then." ha ha”

“I am going to say, Be Taller i am only 5ft 3ins, It can be quite horrible looking for a decent pair of jeans to fit us, "I must be a deformed as well then." ha ha”

“I chuckled at clem's and marie1's comments. i remember reading a joke in Hullabaloo (rag magazine). Something along the lines of 'The young private who's Army kit fitted him perfectly. He was discharged immediately of course. The Army can't use you if you're deformed'. Always raises a chuckle at after-dinner speeches.”
