"My new year's resolution for 2012 was to become disabled. Nothing too serious, maybe just a bit of a bad back or one of those newly invented illnesses which make you a bit peaky for decades – fibromyalgia, or ME … I think we should all pretend to be disabled for a month or so, claim benefits and hope this persuades the authorities to sort out the mess."
