O happy day!

Oh, and my bro. I forgot that bit.

You do know they do international subs, right? Although my interest has dropped off a load since moving out here. Still worth it for the crossword, though.

Souv' you really do need to give up the fags old chap. Think of the money you can then spend on beer!

Rent boys or booze... tough choice.

Yeah, I know. I got one for Chrimbo a few years back. It's not quite the same as getting one hot off the press.

I can indulge myself with both. The arse is hanging out of my jeans but that's another issue.

And less of the old. That's a slightly sensitive subject this week.

A recent birthday to celebrate next Monday? A nice round number I hope? 60?

a rent boy?????!!!!!

Oh, I dunno. I get mine in the post a couple of days after it comes out, normally. (we are still talking about rent boys, aren't we?)

Agree with Bazzz though - can't get myself quite so exercised over the shenanigans of DEFRA and the NHS when it doesn't affect daily life...

You are asking for a punch up the throat.

Next Monday promises to be a red letter day in the history of the Yard.

Surely not 70?
