I think Dave Allen was the funniest man I ever heard.

I have never understood why people get a little depressed when reaching certain milestones. I never have, as I celebrate my birthday, not for the day I was born, but rather for having made it through another year. So many times I nearly didn't make it, too many actually, which I guess provided me with a different perspective. Every day I wake up still sucking air, is a great day indeed!

So, yeah, Dave Allen was right! The alternative would really suck!


Cheers Peter
