34 years.
That means it’s 24 years since I, a first year uni student, tried to keep drinking pace with some 4th years in a day-long Queen/Freddie listening marathon and was mortally hungover for two entire days.

Happy release day to my newest child, National Record of Achievement.
We hope it does well out there in the real world, but there's every possibility it'll turn into an arsehole.
I am exhausted.
