The Party House: Texas Gulf Coast Schemes and Dreams:

Curmudgeon Avenue: The Terraced House Diaries (Book One)

If I had a dollar for every time Bradley Walsh said "was stood" to a contestant on The Chase, I'd have $116.

“Traumatic events can be compared to facing a demon pitcher on the baseball diamond. Life tells us we have to take a swing at the ball, but engaging this demon comes with consequences. If you make first base, you’ll feel the need to sleep. Not so bad. Second, you’ll want to forget it all happened. Don’t we all? But third base brings the onset of madness and if you step off the plate there’s only death. In the great game of life, sometimes it’s better to strike out than hit a home run. After all, you can relax in the Dugout with friends until you’re ready to knock the demon out of the park.”
