Everyone is now asking me what i want for my birthday, there’s this strange pressure that because it’s a milestone birthday, you have to have something lavish, people say “you’re only 50 once you know!” but you’re also only 49 once too! and the truth is, i dont know, i haven’t got the foggiest idea of what I want.

To be honest id be happy with a couple of bottles of rum, maybe a bottle of red wine, and the obligatory things you’d buy your dad on father’s day, things like socks, pants and some Lynx toiletries!!

It’s just another birthday.

Edit: i was mainly referring to the presents that some people want to buy me, rather than things to actually do. I’m having the usual birthday bash, so don’t go thinking I’ll be moping around the house!!

    46 here, have sometimes lost track of my age starting in my early 30s. Because it’s kinda meaningless, unless we’re talking medical history or dating, I guess.
