I am.

I'm a state pensioner as of two months ago.

So, yeah, I mean, you know, full state pension in the UK, I can put my feet up.

No, it hasn't kicked in yet that I'm a state pensioner.

I mean, I'm kind of conscious that, you know, time is moving on.

I'm 66 now, not getting any younger.

And there's lots of young writers out there who are, you know, champing at the bit to get the sales that I've got.

So writing doesn't get any easier because you're always aware that you want the next book to be better than the book before.

And when you've written a lot of books, that doesn't get easy.

So, yeah, all of that kind of weighs on me a little bit, which is why I then turn to music because music always calms me down.

Yeah.

You know what, I hope we don't.

I hope and pray we don't get into the next round because it would be a debacle.

Honestly, we don't deserve it.

We don't deserve it.

One win in three matches and a very narrow win at that.

Our players not playing to their best.

Just letting the fans down.

The fans have been extraordinary.

And the team, yet again, have not been extraordinary.
