No sooner had I blogged than the era of the gobshite struck over these last days, I have as I did when I was a mere brooding teenager found "Tony 1".
And no I do not refer as then to chest hair, or to grey hairs but to the now hastily dispatched lug hole hair protrusions. And yes I know because I pulled it out it will return tenfold, just like my nasal hair and greying locks, and yes I also know (with the benefit of hindsight) that it will smart if I pull it out, though not as much as the nasal versions I might add.
Anyway to the joys of a consumer society, safe in the knowledge that time waits for no man I have had definitive proof from two independent locations this week. Firstly Cadburys mini eggs on sale in WHSmith on Kings Cross station, and secondly Hot Cross Buns in Asda today.
I don't think someone has quite got it somewhere, I would suggest that in normal situations the premise would be to celebrate someones death after they were born and not the other way round, but perchance I miss the point. And I do like it for the balls of the whizz bang novelty marketing ploy guru who thought it up, though I can see all kinds of problems with it if it is widened to society in general.
One good thing though, I clearly missed valentines day, Mothers day, and probably a few others in the last few weeks so should be able to save a couple of quid for Christmas! Shall we start that in June next year??

Been cogitating again over the last couple of days as my birthing day creeps upon me, as to whether I really am quite as old as I don't feel, and decided it depends from what view one looks upon it.
One view is that from the outside that sees my happy smiling face each day and hears my dulcet tones and sees the act that befits the image of a professional accountant. Along with greying hair and hair growth that never was there when I was a youth, though I still await with interest the time when I get those growths of hair protruding from my lug holes.
Another is that from my boys of a very, very old man who they see sparingly through the week and just happens to be their Daddy.
And then there is the one from behind these eyeballs and the disturbing feeling that although I must be ageing (given that is inevitable if all we are taught is true), I don't really feel any different today to what I felt yesterday or the day before.
I guess there is only one answer. You are only as old as who you feel!
Bugger!! Knew I shouldn't have been a toy boy!
Anyway just to please myself here's another of my joke repertoire!
Mickey Mouse is in the divorce courts and it's not going well ,when the judge says to him in a most exasperated voice " I'm sorry Mr Mouse but I can find no grounds for divorce due to your wife having buck teeth!"
Mickey in the politest way he can muster almost at bursting point reposts " I didn't say she had buck teeth, I said she was f****ing Goofy!!"
