      Nope. I wasn’t the best behaved teenager but never bad enough to get in real trouble.

      My only minor brush with the strong arm of the law happened when I forgot my keys for the house I lived in when I was a student. I climbed up on the garage roof and then managed to let myself in one of the windows. I was making myself a cup of tea when there was a knock on the door.

      I opened the door to be greeted by two policemen (well, gardai — this was in Dublin) on the doorstep. A neighbour had called them and told them that someone dodgy was breaking into the house. They quickly realised that I was telling the truth (and that I did indeed live in the house) because it would be an exceptionally stupid burglar who would break into a house and then make themselves a cup of tea…

      No, not really. I’ve been pulled over while driving twice, but didn’t get a ticket either time.
