Whether you’ve been planning avidly since you were age 5, or just getting round to picking a venue, springtime is a period of some serious wedding planning for many – or perhaps just women, regardless of whether they’ve been asked or not.

As I prepare myself mentally for a week of geriatric golf playing in Florida with both sets of parents and then some, I found a highly topical resource. A resource that reminded me what old people are like, how they function, why they are as ridiculous as they are and most importantly...how to best deal with them without starting to display geriatric signs yourself.

Possibly the most amusing bit of Governmental administration confusion ever. Of course I've fully played it out in my mind of Mr. S Esposito being transferred to court in his crate, presuming the vet as his fate. But then he arrives at court displaying his cat surprised face, wondering what all the funny looks are about, as he proceeds to lick his undercarriage. "Why not, I'm a cat?" he meows.

Beautiful imagery, yet a long way to go on the journey of recovery.

Rather that taking the preferred method of transport such as the bat mobile, spun himself a web, or blasted off into outer space with his cape a flutter, he prefers to emerge from a set of shelves and proceed to aimlessly wander the streets.

I'm no hockey player, but perhaps two goals in eleven seconds, scored by a team who appears to have walked straight out of Lord of the Rings, seems to have been the start of our downfall.

A feeling that I'm all too familiar with, it was a sorry and unfortunate loss to deal with. But on the upside, I have discovered a nation with worse teeth than the British. Take that Dr. Kahane.

Better luck next time Canada, I still love you.

I'm afraid, over the years, I've become rather used to and good at reasoning excessive sporting loss, joining the rest of the British nation in declaring "oh well, maybe next year".

The prime example of course is Tim "Daz Commercial" Henman, the nice posh boy who was as good at acting as he was at tennis. But while the delightful British press tore him to shreds, I chose, like many to believe that at some point he was going to dominate Federer at Wimbledon. Or not.

But really, if you are sending yourself off to a nunnery, or perhaps your New Year's Resolution is to try and disgust the opposite sex with your beige coloured cleavage insert, then I've got just the thing.

Although I tend to find that if the deal is 6 for the price of 3, then they literally can't give them away. Be warned.
