The trouble with wallowing in a pool of self-pity is that you miss important events - a big happy birthday Mark, hope it was a grand one.

And how do you know that he isn't, and that we've just kept it quiet all these years?

Belated Happy birthday.

We could go round pretending that Mike is Mark's Dad?

It would be hilarious.

Or maybe not.

Happy Birthday, Mark. Go out with friends, get exceedingly drunk, sing far too many inappropriate songs far too loudly, and have a fantastic time. And thanks for the blog.

26 . . . blimey, I'm actually trying to *remember* 26 so I can say something profound about it. But I can't, so I won't. Have a very happy birthday, and drink 'til you're swaying. Huzzah.
