Save your kisses for me. Brotherhood of Man.
I was giving a lecture on the eruption of Mt St Helens the other day, and I realised not one of the students was born when it happened, actually, not one of them has any clear recollection of the 80's. That scares me.
It must nearly be time for me to start wearing sensible shoes and taking an interest in garden catalogues.
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.
