18 things I’ll never do now
take any unnecessary risks
be this week’s guest on Desert Island Discs
save anybody’s life
steal anybody’s wife
own an Aga
write a sweeping multi-generational family saga
meet Sir David Attenborough or Dame Judi Dench
speak faultless idiomatic French
open the bowling for England at Lords
win a Booker, a BAFTA – or any other awards
commit the perfect crime
serve time
invent a handy labour-saving device
be known – like, say Tom Hanks – for being nice
live fast, and die young (or even youngish)
find anything, except itself, that rhymes with youngish.
