I thought the Eagle Man ad was the worst advert ever.

But now I've seen the Roller Kingdom advert!

What about crack AND rollerskating?

It's the perfect combination.

Well that went well.

The original and best.

Five months of life - not in my house they wouldn’t. Five seconds. Oh god. What if they had children of their own. It doesn’t bear thinking about.

At a service stop between Granada and Madrid a few years ago, a Spanish woman discovered one in her hair. She was leaping around the car park like someone having a fit, screaming and jerking and cursing and swiping. Nobody laughed, we all felt really sorry for her.

I've only seen cockroaches in Florida - usually dead and on their backs. I didn't really mind them and thought of them as interestingly exotic until I went into a bathroom in the dark, switched the light on and one zoomed around the bath and vanished out of sight. They are incredibly quick!

Another time I was watching TV one evening and a cockroach FLEW past me and landed up the corner near to where I was sitting! It buzzed and everything. Apparently they can only fly very short distances, as this one did.

Disgusting. Relaxing in Provence one summer day, on the terrace of a picture perfect cafe, I turned to see where the waiter was and saw several of them crawling over each other on the wall behind me. I got up so fast my chair fell backwards and I didn’t even bother to pick it up.
