How can someone so young be so old? Just think Theo, when you reach the age of some of us of a more mature generation you will have your own Whirligig of the day. You will bediscussing the likes of Amy Winehouse, the Zutons or the Arctic Monkeys or Duffy. Oh the films you will be talking about, Trainspotting, Notting Hill, Pirates of the whatever. TV shows like Big Brother, Britain's Got Talent. Not to mention Eastenders or Hollyoaks and so on. These will all be in your history. Each piece you write will start: Was TV much better in my day? Somewhere there will be a young Britney or Kanye saying, tell us what the shows and the music was like in your day Theo. You will be able to reply, it was rubbish, but I can tell you of a time long ago when music films and TV was a magical era. Unfortunately all those that told me about it are long since gone to the heaven called the Golden Age.....

Happy Birthday Theo, we old fogeys are depending on you to carry our torch of the good old days into the even better future days.
