Was accused of being drunk yesterday... 'My dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.'Not the best thing to say to your mum but I didn't coin it.

Named my old british blue cat Winston after him because he had a chubby face and used to attack the old man's cigar smoke.
