1. Living alone because no-one accuses you of embezzlement when you eat the nose of the brie.
2. The Scarlet Pimpernell. I can never resist a gentleman adventurer, and the tight trousers and caperesque escapes make Clive Donner's 1982 film as welcome as a last-minute rescue.
3. Walking home late at night I run into a friend, so we walk together. Company is always good on a dark road.
