43 Not Out and a Royal Wedding
I hit 43 today, which is in some eyes is pretty insignificant, but to me it is something of a milestone as I have now outlived my Grandad (my Mothers Father) who died of high blood pressure at 42, and I now stand 20 years behind my Mother who died of the same thing at 63.

Have You Ever Been Sacked???
Poor old Ray Wilkins (Chelsea assistant coach) faced the humiliation of being sacked at half time of a reserve match yesterday in a ruthless demonstration of how the regime at Stamford Bridge works. I suppose that's what you should expect working for a Russian Oil Baron. This got me thinking about my working life, and whether I had ever been treated so badly, but remarkably, I have never had the humiliation of the sack, though I have been close ...
