I was watching Newsnight last night and…

Hold on; that date rings a bell…what is it? International goldfish day? The beginning of the Chinese year of the carrot? Oh, I remember! It’s the ginger one’s birthday!

Seriously though, my brother mark is the cleverest guy I know. He’s also one of the kindest. As children, we had many happy times together, although, as the oldest sibling, it seemed to be his prerogative to cheat in our games (don’t think I didn’t notice bro!) Nevertheless, I hereby wish him the best of birthdays!
