Australia! Australians! Surely it's still full of Magwitch-types, lumbering oafs with shaven pates and broken noses on the run from whatever law there is, chucking kangaroo heads on the barbie as they read their awful bush poetry.

Impossible to say why childhood joy ends with such finality in so many things.

Going out? It seems so twentieth century. Do people really still do such a thing?

I seem to feel ashamed of going out and getting merry - I find it oddly humiliating - but I'm quite happy to sit here like some dipsomaniac and become maudlin. For me, that is cool behaviour. Once you realise you're going to be on your own for the next few decades, it seems as pleasurable a way as any to pass the years.

When it comes to men, women will insist that a lunge in their direction is not always welcome, and yet they cannot forgive a man who does not even attempt a sexual pursuit. Strange creatures, aren't they?

Sometimes she despaired at other women - their feebleness, their triviality, the nonsense they absorbed. So many were like little doe-eyed deer waiting to be chased, clueless with a different mindset and a bit of effort they could be the predators.

Admit it: you live in a straitjacket called society that’s chillingly adroit at forcing you to behave. You do what’s expected, right? You rarely, if ever, cross that line. You play your part because you’re a liar and an actor just like all those people around you are liars and actors. That’s why alcohol is such a revealing drug: it removes the straitjacket. Drunks don’t act. No one controls them. Suddenly they’re showing who they are, what’s really inside. Why do you think they make us feel so uncomfortable as we stare at them with our Oscar-worthy poise?
