Otherwise I could claim it's a 72 year old Single.

Or (shudder) the blended? When it comes to bloodyminded stubborness, it's usually a bad idea for anyone to get involved in any kind of `I'm more so than you are' competition. Last time anyone seriously tried to beat me at that sort of game, I was feeling really arsey and if I'd not been released from being locked in (the crime of illegal imprisonment, I think you'll find), I'd've burnt the house down. They folded. Yes, I really am that bad. Yes, I really would have set fire to the house that I had been locked into in order to get out of it. And I would have - well, probably... And then I'd've put the blaze out - maybe... I was in a very /very/ bad mood at the time. Rowland. (who had once been a pyromaniac[1], and hadn't forgotten how) [1] Which is not the same as an arsonist, which activity I've never engaged in. The only thing I ever set light to that shouldn't have been was me. Eyebrows - whoosh! Hair on head - crackle, fizz, ouch, get it out quick, that sort of thing.

Actually I was until a few months ago when Sabby pointed out I was wrong when i told someone I was 43, and I realised with horror that I was actually <gulp> 44! -- Woody
