Regarding the calling in sick thing, lie on your back when you make the call - it always makes you sound really croaky. Works a treat!

And tell this DC person that if I ever see him again I'm going to take him across my knee. Gandalf indeed! Don't take me for a conjurer of cheap tricks, Matthew Young! Say that again, DC, and you shall see Campfires & Battlefields uncloaked! Cheeky bastard. And tell this DC person that if I ever see him again I’m going to take him across my knee.

When DC met you all he could talk about was your age actually. Sort of the Gandalf of Song, by Toad. And trim the hair from your toes. When DC met you all he could talk about was your age actually.

Erm, yeah, something like that.

But mostly just old.

You’re only as old as you are. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go exfoliate my bunions.

Did you hear about the Scotsman who passed out drunk in a gutter during the World Cup in Mexico in 1970 and was promptly popped on the next flight back to Glasgow, only to wake there and inform everyone that whilst he was Scottish, he actually lived in Mexico?

I've texted in sick from time to time to my department boss, although I also have to phone the main office and give my reasons to them.
