It's too early for filth, so think cucumber sandwiches and cream teas. No, not cucumbers, in case I accidentally shove one up my jacksie. Old habits die hard. I've decided to open up to the public and reveal all. No more hiding behind a stage persona; I'm going to be myself. The question is will you…
