How on earth could that kid walk and talk without forgetting to breathe. I assume he's writing a fucking book. Sorry. 'Writing' a fucking 'book'

When I was 24, guys like that were just that weirdo from school who you met once on the street in Dublin and asked him what he was up to and he told you he was working somewhere you'd never heard of and you never heard of him again. Now these gobshites are in charge of serious things and serious money, as well as being famous.
