When I was a teenager, I found a wounded bird and built a habitat for it, feeding and watering it for about two weeks. Then I started to take the top off, and after about another week, it flew away.

I felt good about that, but I wouldn't have run to the media about it.

So you took a negative view point from this and thus failed to understandthe science of the good deed effect?

So basically you failed to share a good deed, that may have inspired others.

Which makes you the wally here

Actually, you have a point. If more people were to share their acts of kindness, perhaps more people would be inspired to do similar things. Sorry for being a wally, Didge -- such a wally, in fact, that I don't even know what "wally" means.

Is that why they call you The Bird Whisperer?

They did, once. Now that memory has faded, however, I'm better known as "The King of Cool."

Tesco's has been my best education in how ancient peoples could come to worship the sun. Seriously.

They came to the conclusion that the sun, which made the plants grow and took the cold away, must be a god.

Tesco's gives us our food, our fizzy water, our Jelly Babies and our whiskey.

It is a bit like a deity, if you think about it.
