"Joyriding," "Ice Cream", "Stairway to Heaven." Things like that. My editor suggested a lot of them, and I'm putting some of my own in too.

Quite odd, but funny. In a book I read recently, all the chapter headings were names of sitcoms, like ‘Nighty Night’ and ‘Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em’. Quite odd, but funny.
