• ‟ The mechanic could lift up the bonnet of the car and show me four dwarves strapped to a pair of tandems and tell me that the motor was actually dwarf-powered and that one of the little fellows had to be replaced, and I'd just be numbly writing out a cheque and scribbling 'new dwarf - car' on the stub.

• ‟ As anyone who follows me on Twitter will know, I'm fairly robust in my views on there. I get next to nothing in the way of trolling.
