    I thought you were going to say that the remains you found were younger than you. ;)

    In some respects I've been an old curmudgeon since I was about 23. I did, quite a few years ago though shave off the beard I'd sported for about 10 years and freaked out when I saw my Dad in the mirror. :)

    Today, just get a letter from the NHS asking for a sample of pooh.

    Something to look forward to at the weekend, no idea how you get it in the tube.

    On the rare occasion I venture into town for a beer and I call the pubs the name I knew them as and not what they’re called now.
