I wanted to look forward to events like my inspirational sister did. I wanted to tip my hat at passers-by on a Sunday and say, ‘Top of the morning to ya!’ Rather than pull a hood over my eyes to avoid comments from smug wankers. ‘Oh, you looked like you were having a good time last night. I’ve just been for a run!’ (Which translates as ‘Oh, you were a mess last night and I’m better than you.’)
