Time for a confession. A few weeks ago I celebrated my 40th birthday. Surprising I know, "surely that gorgeous, virile, energetic, funny man can't be 40", you think...but trust me it's true.
I remember as an 18 year old listening to AFKAP singing about partying like it was 1999 and thinking that I would be WAY tool old to enjoy myself when that finally rolled around. As it turned out I spent the night nursing my newborn son and dancing around a paddock waiting for Russian Y2K susceptible satellites too fall from the sky. The world didn't end...so a good result all round (well except for those people who sold everything and went to live in an underground bunker somewhere with a shotgun, 365 cans of SPAM and a years supply of Evian [naive spelt backwards] but I digress).

So my beautiful wife, the red head, organised a fancy dress party for me, a "J" party no less. Now I know some people think fancy dress is just for boring people who don't know how to have a good time (and there was a few of them there), but me, I love them...people seem to get into the spirit a lot faster when they aren't themselves. I went as a Jester (any excuse to embarrass me with tights) whilst the red head went as Juno.
We had Jedi's and Jillaroo's, Jockeys and Jamaicans (excellent),John Cena and Jeff Hardy, Jason (13) and Justice League (Wonder Woman went straight to the w@nk bank), Judges, Jurors, Janitors and a pair of J Lo's. 181 played live and Daz the un-dresser didn't disappoint (?)

The red head gave a fantastic speech, which was undoubtedly the highlight of the night for me. It did present me with one problem though. How to outdo and embarrass her when her big night rolls around. Well, I have 11 months to plan for it...look out.
