Hey, it's a bank holiday, right?

You don't have to justify it, David.

It's your life.

You can live it as you want to live it.

I'm going to say something else, which, again, both of you will probably know.

For me, one of the key reasons for doing the...

for being a comedian, for doing a job where I could be a writer and a comedian, was so that I could get up late.

That was sort of one of the key things because, A, I was an insomniac from when I was a kid, insomniac from when I was six.

I gradually thought, how can I have a job where I don't have to get up?

Yeah.

And this is over a long period of time.

It's not when I was six.

How can I have a job where I don't have to get up really in the morning because I won't have slept properly at night?

And then I realized, okay, I'll do comedy, which is nuts at some level because then what happens is you go to bed later and later and later.

Sleeping after a gig is really hard or whatever.

But you can get up if you want at 1 p.m.

Now, I don't do that anymore, but I did do that for a very long time.

My body clock was probably completely set wrong.

It might have been set right for Australia, Max, if I lived in Britain.

You see what I mean?
