"It was Carl's favourite thing, actually – if he couldn't finish his dinner, he'd push the plate over to me, and my party trick was to finish whatever anyone else hadn't. Over the years, that thing with Carl became quite a strain, because my appetite is not what it was, and I'm trying to watch my weight if anything these days. When The Libs got together for a socially distanced Newcastle racecourse gig in 2020, we had a pub lunch with everyone, and Carl was looking at me with puppy-dog eyes as he pushed his unfinished plate to me, as if to say, Go on, you used be able to finish my plate. I was like, All right, give it here, c'mon."
