I'm probably one, too!<br /><br />Talking of being trapped in our own childhoods,I was rather surprised the other night to hear two very dear friends repeating a Monty Python sketch.

It's a description that would fit a good many trivia-obsessed pub-quiz bores, I'd have thought.<br /><br />To an extent, we're all trapped in our own childhoods, one way or another, of course. After all, psychotherapists make a living out of it...<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-17352984686648348542013-02-22T14:52:19.537+00:002013-02-22T14:52:19.537+00:00Okay, thanks.

However, being only a year younger than her, I do recognise many of her references. <br /><br />I wonder what prompted this post, Mike?Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.com
