'I’m actually standing up! Then I decide to make a small adjustment to my left foot and suddenly it’s all over. I fall off into the crashing wave and do a somersault under the water. It’s like being trapped inside a huge washing machine on fast spin.'
If you have to make something WORK, then it’s really screwed, isn’t it? ‘Darling, we have to make this marriage work!’ Yuk. It sounds like you’re trying to make your mobile work after it’s experienced a fifty-minute heavy soil cycle in the washing machine.
'Roksana went into a long tale about how her step-sister's grand-aunt refused to join in with The Feast of Chopin festivities one year and the other villagers dug up her back garden, found her golden animals and sold them to buy guns.'

'You have a hard look about your eyes, like my hateful grand-cousin Weronika, who euthanased the village cats each Cat Spoiling Day. She would measure the length of the cat’s foot with a piece of string and then burn the string. It never failed to work.’

'If I was doing Weightwatchers or one of those dreadful things, I’m sure someone would tell me that I need to lose maybe two stone. If they were being particularly cruel that day, they might say three. That’s why I don’t do Weightwatchers. The cruelty.'
