I feel like I am indulging in a spot of table-tipping - in a moment of optimism I emailed a very good old friend of mine who (I think) is currently living in Chicago, to invite him to the awesome event of my 40th birthday.The advent of email and instant communication has made everyone gasp for instant gratification; never mind the fact he has a job, a wife, hobbies and, oh what's that thing called? Oh yeah, a life, I am angered not to have received a reply yet!
We should all count ourselves lucky that we don't have to wait 6 years for a letter from America, we don't have to endure a 3 day journey when we want to get to London (maybe), and we don't have to wait for the right wind to blow our pigeons in the correct direction - we don't know we're bloody born.
