I’m sitting on the sofa in my Father in Law’s house, his 3 boys are on the floor, Andrea is in the Kitchen cooking up an amazing smelling meal and my lovely Wifey is sat beside me reading.
All is well.
I hope you all have a brilliant christmas.

I found this and thought – you know – i dont look like a psycho with a bit of hair Volume! – What say you?
On Saturday night, Wifey and i went down to Thornbury in Bristol for Our Niece Catherine’s 18th Birthday party. It was a really great part but i do have to say I was shocked in to the reality of my age in a big way.
The party itself was good fun. We drank quite a bit and danced alot. It was the music that was the kicker. There was this bunch of Young ladies all dancing to utter rubbish! Now I have never and willn never claim to have the
best taste in music but i know i do have at least some standards and te music the pervy DJ was playing was really dire BUT – they loved it! It was confusing as I wanted to dance but every other tune was dreadful. At one point the DJ started to play some decent house and hard house in a vintage way so i requested some “Faithless“. Now remember the point that Faithless are one of the best house acts ever but did these kids ge it?
NO!!!!
The dance-floor emptied…….
tumbleweed tumbled….. ok it didnt but it felt like it should have! I felt OLD!
I realised that in the same breath i had called a bunch of 18 year olds kids, wondered why these “kids” didnt appreciate some “real” music and i thought that there was far too much flesh on display for the age range present…..
OH MY WORD! Have I passed it? In reality I realise that maybe i’ve finally arrived fully in adulthood and I can take this two ways. I can consider it the beginning of the end and tha life is all own hill from here, or I can look back an appreciate the great times I had as a “Youff” but also look froward to the amazing times that are to come.
On a more hilarious note: Classic prankage:
