Couple of things - Parachute with a hangover - well you've done the hangover bit ho ho ho
I've licked a 9 volt battery (my brother dared me) you only do that once.
Btw Mr David Beckham was quoted as saying that women hit their peak at thirty (though he didn't specify which peak tea making ability perhaps :-) ) Happy b'day XX
