Seriously, I do have them! No, but in seriousness there are some things I have done on this blog that would shock you to the very core. <\/p>\n<p>As you will know I was head boy at Eton and the next year the headmaster had to come out to the school gates cos I wouldn&#8217;t leave and kept watching it with binoculars and still, like, leaving comments on their website and stuff, and I was like, &#8220;can I stay forever&#8221; and then it got genuinely embarrassing.
