Oh, I love Cornwall, it's so special. We bought the house when I was with Plymouth Argyle and we've just kept that on and kept modernising things.
You do understand when you get into management that you will get the sack at some stage, but that never puts people off trying again.
I love poetry and I've kept everything I've written.
It's the last question mark against me in my career. Why couldn't I keep a team in the Premier League.
If you are a manager with a new owner who has more ideas than knowledge, all you can do is get your head down and do your best, which is what Malky Mackay did at Cardiff.
Working at Palace was one of the happiest episodes of my football career, even though the ending was one of the most upsetting and traumatic.
I'm glad to see goal-line technology working; we should have had it for years. I do believe we will soon see managers being allowed one, or two, challenges.
A few eyebrows have been raised at Adel Taarabt joining Milan. Having worked with Adel for two years, I am not as surprised as most people seem to be. He is a player of immense ability and, if he is handled right, and motivated himself, he can win games at any level.
Everyone says teams should work harder when they are losing but sometimes that makes it worse.
It is a fine line between communicating and being too chummy. My players, when I've been promoted, have been upset by top-flight refs being mates with opposition players.
Sometimes when I'm watching managers on television and I see all that anxiety I realise that I don't miss the job as much as I thought.
It's good to see Graham Alexander back in the game. He was such a tremendous professional as a player so I know he'll give management his best shot.
As a manager I always trusted my players on Christmas Day. I did not see any point in dragging them into the training ground - a three-hour round-trip for some of them on icy roads - when they could relax with their families instead.
Ask anyone in the game: if you want a player from France or a French player, 99 per cent of the time, you will have to deal with Willie McKay or someone like him. If you want to get the job done, then you need the Willie McKays of this world.
But the art of management has not changed. The art of it is still 80 to 90 per cent man-management. It is just a matter of getting the best out of what you have got.
My three-course meal would be: smoked salmon with capers and a few prawns on there as well. Then it would be a dover sole grilled on the bone with a portion of green beans. And if I wasn't dieting or looking after myself, my favourite pudding would be bread and butter pudding with custard, ice cream and clotted cream all together!
I tried to download a jazz album this week and ended up getting some tracks four times, some once, some three times; in total I ended up with 50 tracks. I don't know how I did it.
Personally I have not encountered racism at matches, or in clubs I have worked in, for many years.
I had a player once whose wife had twins and one of them was in and out of hospital for a year. You just have to give people as much time as they need.
Once, I used to have the local reporter on the team bus and I'd tell him everything, so when he wrote about the club he was informed, even if he couldn't print some things. Those days are long gone.
