I only knew to say that because the other day I realised that my date of birth is closer to the end of the first world war than it is to the present day. Made me feel so ****ing old!!!

I think I have too much time on my hands at the minute!!
It’s when you realise kids today are learning in history what you lived through that’s when you feel old.

So I've got a 2 1\2 year old lad and a 3 month old baby girl and I am currently reading this...if anyone is in the same boat this is a classic read. I read his 1st one ( called Dummy) a couple of years back after my 1st too. Not often I read a book and find myself literally crying with laughter.

I'm now onto Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. I love his style, he writes in a gloriously descriptive manner, for example: "I had been for some hours extremely pressed by the necessities of nature" (he needs a shat). And further: "And discharged my body of that uneasy load" (or in mackemland, "I shat on the seat").
