Let me tell you lot over there: if you are ever called a rising star, put your head between your legs and kiss your backside goodbye, because that is the kiss of death, I am telling you.

I can see myself going up this greasy pole on the way up because I am being mentioned in the paper, so my bike is up for sale.' The fourth estate do not make this up.

I want to quote one more thing to that lot over there who are getting all excited about their names being in the paper for promotion.
