Oh good grief! I knew it had to happen one day, but surely my life can't be passing by quite that quickly: ladies and gentlemen, it is my sad duty to announce that I am older than the leader of the Conservative Party. How the hell did that happen?
On a brighter note, I am still a quarter of a century younger than the average Conservative Party member. Not that I am a member of the Conservative Party, you understand.
Vaguely interesting fact: The new Tory leader, David Cameron's, surname is an anagram of the word romance. Kind of makes you think.
Growing old is obligatory.
Growing up is optional!
