“Looking back at those early days in the band house, we can all see how important they were in helping us bond as a band. It could have gone so wrong. Danny and I had picked Harry and Dougie after, literally, two days of knowing them. We could have all hated each other. We could have found that we had nothing in common, or that we resented the time we spent with each other. In fact, we had such a lot of fun. We weren’t yet famous or successful, but already we were having the time of our lives. Even when we hit the big time, we didn’t want to go out to clubs or celebrity haunts. Not our scene. For us, the best thing about being in a band was being in a band, doing band stuff - not all the trappings that went with it. We liked working on our music, and we liked hanging out together. All this meant we gelled more than most bands ever have the opportunity or inclination to do. Within a couple of months of moving into the band house, I had three new best friends. Their names were Danny, Harry and Dougie. No matter what the future held for us, our friendship was something we now know we could always rely on.”

“I've never had a moment when I thought: "Tom, you've made it!", and I don't think I want to, because that feels like you've reached the end; that you've crossed the finish line. But to me there is no end. An achievement is not a finish line; it's a checkpoint on a far greater journey. It's a moment to pause, to take a breath and look back and enjoy what you've experienced and be grateful for it, but then to turn around and look towards the next checkpoint, the next achievement.”

“you’re right!’ I yelled. I had to stop the van. I forced myself forward and leapt into the driver’s seat, but at that precise moment the van went BUMP over the speed bump at the bottom of the hill. Now, I know speed bumps are supposed to slow you down, but it turns out that when you’re reversing through time speed bumps work in reverse, and we were whooshed along at a chillingly frightening speed.

'Children?' William said. 'Children aren't magic. I'm a child and I'm not magic at all!'

All the elves giggled and Santa smiled knowingly.

'Oh, but you are! You really, truly are. You just don't know it! You can create impossible worlds in your imagination that don't really exist. That is magic. Because you can only see the best in people, the best in the world, in life. That is magic. Because you understand the importance of silliness, the importance of fun, of laughing and playing, which grown-ups have forgotten. That is magic. But, most of all, because you believe, without question, in the impossible. Without needing proof. Without hesitation. That is magic.'

William couldn't believe what he was hearing. He could do all those things and he hadn't even realized that they were magic!”

“Some truly terrible things indeed. He started with a sweaty sock And a rotten tooth from an angry croc. He added a slug to make it slimy, The medicine turned grey and grimy. In there was a lot of stuff, Something looked like mouldy fluff. To this he added a pinch of snot, Plus some toenail clippings to the pot. The potion”
