Au revoir, old pal.  You will make somebody very happy.

Firstly, big happy birthday balloons and rejoicing to shallowthing , whose youthful advancement of years has served only to make me feel like a raggedy old hagbag.  I still remember 24, if I peer back through the mists of time with my eyes squinted in a certain way, trying not to concentrate so much on the hump forming at the top of my spine as I have ( Read more... )

As I excitedly went to prise apart a post-breakfast grapefruit, I realised that it didn't look entirely appetising, in the way that a healthy pink grapefruit should.
