 | | Talking to Eddie Izzard, I keep thinking of those mind-maps that dyslexics are urged to make in order to get their thoughts down on paper: a random idea here, a dissociated one over there... |
 | | This is the Eddie Izzard who thought seriously about joining the army or becoming a civil engineer, who likes mobile phones and gadgets and who, according to a female friend, flicks irritatingly through the channels when you're trying to watch television. |
 | | Eddie Izzard was born in 1962 in Yemen, where his father, Harold John Izzard, worked for BP (eventually, he rose to become chief auditor) and his mother, Dorothy Ella, was a midwife. |
