Doh!

It’s official: I’m older than Homer Simpson.

After watching a Simpsonthon with the kids, I now know that Homer Simpson is 38 years old.

This could be the defining moment of my looming 40^th birthday.

Having organised a triple helping of fun, my mind has been on other things -- or slightly wasted. But all of a sudden I have a new perspective.

The haze is slowly lifting after a vodka-fuelled dinner on Saturday and I’m going to Windsor races this afternoon, followed by a lightning trip to Spain to watch Villareal vs Arsenal.

Now that’s what I call celebrating your birthday.

But Jeeeesus, I’m older than Homer fricking Simpson!

And so are a lot of you.
