It was dull. I worked for Coca-Cola and the people I worked with were corporate no-fun miseries so we didn't socialise outside of workUsed to stay in Buckhead & drink beer as there was sod all else to do.

Honestly, my phone, like young Chompers.I broke the digital camera my mother bought me to record my contact with my daughter after a week but the camera on my phone is good enough for her not to know about this, two years on.
Alt: I won’t reach retirement age, but if I do by some Keith Richards-eque twist of fate, despite my love of Italy, the US and various other places, I think I only love England enough to retire here.

Perhaps this is finally the Golden Era of MontyYou've found a lovely new lady, you've been allowed to get closer to your daughter after your ex has presumably had a surprise lobotomy - things appear to be on the up. I just hope that in these times of positivity, you won't forget your duties as our resident angry, racist pedant.

I predict a good run of raw, stripped-down Monty, with all the sharp, biting witticism and pedantry we've come to expectWe'll just have to be careful it doesn't bloat itself into an era of self-indulgent Prog Monty

I won't let you down.Trust me - this is not an act. No amount of good fortune will divert me from my path of bitter misanthropy and nit-picking spite.

Keith Richards is surely the best advertisement for a constant diet of booze and massive drugsEither that or the grim reaper came for him in 1978 and got the wrong Keith.
