I've had tea with Sir David Attenborough and Stephen Fry (although alas not together), I've compared the size of my ears with Will Smith, I was the last man to interview Chris Benoit, I rescued Amy Winehouse's cat, I've written four books, I lived and worked in Australia for four years at the start of the 21st century, I've been doing this for over half of my lifetime, and as such, I'm really rather tired.
