4 The book I’m referring to is Eleven by comedian and author Mark Watson (Simon & Schuster, 2010). It’s a bit awkward because if you’ve followed me online anywhere, it’ll be quite obvious that Mark is a really close friend of mine, and I didn’t want it to look like I was advertising his book in my book. Nor did I want it to look like I read his book and then adecided to stalk him because he seemed to like fat people – and now I’ve nailed him down as a friend. Ideally, you’ll assume he wrote me INTO HIS BOOK, but if you do the maths you’ll see that he didn’t even know me at the time of writing it. But now that I’ve mentioned it in these end notes, maybe he’ll be forced to write me into one of his future books. That’s the dream. And I think he should. Especially now that I’ve written him into (the end notes of) my book.
