"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.

If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
"And you're aching to move but you're caught in the web Of the spIIIder woman And her velvet cAAAApe You can scrEEEam You can run You can hide But you cannot escAAAAAAAAApe!"
"I saw Pavarotti play Rodolfo on stage and with his girth I thought he was about to eat the whole table at the Cafe Momus." - Dollypop
