It's almost my 500th post! Any bets on what that'll be about? Will it mention regret? Will it contain a reference to low self esteem? or maybe a mention of alcohol ? I imagine there will be a rather apt quote, and possibly something that appears cryptic, then you realise it's bloody obvious.

Excuse the self referential nature of this 'post' (pah!) but I've just watched the entire first ans second seasons of 'Moonlighting' on DVD this week , so breaking the 'fourth wall' is uppermost in my mind.

I had a missed call at 2.30am, and by the time I'd fumbled with the phone in the dark they were gone - number with-held - was it you? who was it? (I had a similar call a few weeks ago at 4am. If you know me, and I think you do, you will know that A call, ANY call is unusual, never mind such an early morning mystery...

It's my birthday next week. I'm not expecting much*...
