Why, thanks, everybody! I am, as ever, deeply touched.
I've had an excellent day, the highlight being a trip to the moving pictures auditorium to see the latest epic yarn from Mr James Cameron, 'Avatar', in three dimensional cinematography. I admit it was not my immediate choice, and I was not expecting to wholly enjoy it from the little pre-publicity I had encountered prior to today's visit. But in truth, it was the dog's testicles, and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it as yet. An absolutely stunning production, well worth one's pennies.
Which is more than I can say about today's Scottish Cup encounter between my own jaded St Johnstone and Roger's lucky-to-have-caught-their-opponents-three-days-after-a-hard-slog-match-at-Hampden-in-heavy-conditions-during-the-other-cup-semi-final-which-Saints-incidentally-disposed-of-The-Arabs-in-the-quarter-final-Fnar-right-back-at-you Dundee United. The better team won on the day by all accounts, although what the Liverpool score had to do with it is beyond me.
Anyway, thanks again - it's an indescribable joy to be 51.
