No. I guess somebody decided to give a couple of people a break and make their lives as pleasant as possible whilst smothering mine with embarrassment. I thought that I would eventually grow out of the whole falling-down-the-stairs thing and the way my dress would always blow up when the wind hit, I suppose I kind of solved that one by wearing jeans all of the time but that’s not the point.
