The Straits were my favourite band in the eighties and I still give them a spin when the mood hits. Deeply uncool, they're the best kept secret in music after Warren Zevon and Lloyd Cole.

It still sits, alone in my Microsoft Entourage in-box, where I have been reading and rereading it all day. Thank you for that.

They ought to take up hobbies that will cause them less embarrassment in later years. Forget about the lines, Sam, and just enjoy rubbing the cream on your face. Touch is more important than sight.

You're finally treated like an adult by other adults, you're well past the worst of the hormonal excess of puberty, your looks haven't faded yet, in fact you move from virginal to much more interesting and confident, and you're more likely to take control of your life. I hit 40 in October, and that is unknown territory, but the 30s have been good. The 30s are so much better than any of the previous decades.

Eddie Izzard said it best when he said that early adolescence is that time when, all of a sudden, you care about looking your best and God decides NO! You will now look your absolute worst that you will ever look in your life! I think it's when we all start suspecting that we are in the middle of some enormous cosmic joke, and worse, that we are an amusing one liner tacked onto the build up to the punch-line. I believe only Mr. Bush knows when we will hear the Cosmic punch-line. Sweet, sweet Fluffag! I've been having trouble with my itallics in the comment box too. I believe there's some html tag you can add to itallicize something but, for the love of God, don't ask me what that is. Emma, you're right. We're twentyist in our society. By thirty we're expected to have got over it all, but for me there seems no end to the terrible poetry I can still churn out given the right conditions: maudlin music, maudlin mood and something chilled and white from the fridge. Or even worse, cheery music, cheery mood and something chilled and white from the fridge. Clare, I'm a real sucker for the title song. Gets me every time. Tears and everything. Got your email, by the way - thanks! Will reply in a bit. My children seem to want mummy to play with them or something. Mr. Tinspector, my booze says, ‘You’re welcome’.

I'm firmly in the 'had a miserable adolescence' camp. Not because of romantic relationships (didn't date til I was 19, was a virgin till I was 21) but because of peer relations. I was disliked and dismissed because I was a geeky, nerdy, pudgy, creepy dude. even so, its remarkable how similarly trite my writings are from that time. mostly piles of self-pity, really. Great post! thank your booze for me, will you? I’m turning 34 in June.
