*(JP: 'Really rather looking forward to this weekend now. I was dreading it earlier on, the forthcoming weekend, because I have to go to Holland, and I'm not very good actually when I go to foreign countries, to be honest with you. I'm very much the Little Britain when I get there, very nervous and apprehensive, "what are they going to do to me?", you know. I've got to drive down to south Holland, and the car could go wrong, what are they going to do, are they going to steal the hubcaps, the entire car, the wheels, who knows what? When I get there, though, to compere the Pink Pop Festival, I really enjoyed myself a great deal last year. There were some hideous bands on, like Rush, who I stood and watched from the far edge of the auditorium and screamed with laughter throughout almost their entire performance. But they did have this marvellous swimming pool backstage, you see. And all of the people backstage, as they are at festivals in this country, are all like, very groovy, very beautiful and also very Dutch as well. There were a lot of beautiful flaxen-haired children, and beautiful flaxen-haired dogs, and so on. I take a savage delight in being the British oaf in those circumstances. I went swimming, though, and all these beautiful people lounging around it who never go into the water at all. I take a savage delight in wandering down there, and I'm not an impressive sight when I'm stripped to the waist, it must be said, jumping into the pool in my underpants...gross, disgusting. And I shall be doing that again at the weekend.')
