    WHAT WERE YOU DOING 10 YEARS AGO?
    Recovering from the shock of being 43 (in hindsight a superb age to be)...more importantly celebrating my youngest set of twins eighth birthday...

    FIVE SONGS TO WHICH YOU KNOW ALL THE LYRICS?...only when I'm sober:-

    Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel

    I am a Rock - Simon and Garfunkel
    (oh so delicate and oh so much the age and the period)

    Hunting Tigers out in India - Bonzo Dog Band (so funny)

    Debora - T Rex (so downright weird)

    When somebody (thinks you're wonderful) - Fats Waller (absolutely bloody wonderful, both lyrically and stride piano-wise)

    FIVE THINGS YOU WOULD DO IF YOU BECAME A MILLIONAIRE.

    Pay off not only my own mortgage/debts but my next door neighbours too...

    buy stamps and postal history...big time...(a harmless if somewhat anoracky hobby)...

    Give the house I live in right now a well deserved facelift/touch up/renovation (it deserves better of me)...

    Make a substantial charity donation to the Sally Anne - I've done all the voluntary work I care to do, but would like to to do something to pay back the people who helped grandad in the trenches during World War l (we have LONG memories in my family)

    Write...

    Sarcasm (very often, very frequent and very accurate!)

    Onanism (it's relatively harmless but oh so soul-less too)

    FIVE THINGS YOU LIKE DOING

    Reading

    Poetry (like Dobyns it's long gone but I miss it)

    Lovemaking (done properly it's another world)

    Puzzles

    Writing (a kind of would-be plea)

    FIVE THINGS YOU'LL NEVER WEAR AGAIN

    Ben Sherman shirts

    Flared trousers

    Tank tops

    WWll Great Coat (well I was a mixed-up youth...)

    Afghan goat


    FIVE FAVOURITE TOYS

    Digital Camera

    SLR camera

    DVD/MP3 player

    Portable CD player (oh god I can listen to Vaughan Williams on the bus)
