Happy birthday
If you can fill the unforgiving minute,
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a man my son.

Happy Birthday, Dave.




Con - Dave's dealing with "life", and the prospect of imminent fatherhood. Next month I think.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.

The rest of us are a bit crap.
