    Having nose and ear hair, doesn't make you old. Having it and doing nothing about it, that makes you old !

    I was lying on the floor playing a board game with my daughter today. I was in one position for too long and it took me about three minutes to stand up. It probably looked like a video of a rusty railway bridge collapsing. But played in slow mo reverse, with a soundtrack of creaking metal

    Have to admit that does sound pretty cool.

    Almost as good as when I heard on the radio that someone had taken the chip out of their Oyster Card and had put it in a Harry Potter wand, they then got on a bus dressed as Harry Potter and were able to pay for their journey by taping the wand on the Oyster reader.

    Would have loved to have seen the face of the Bus Driver
