Let's head into the weekend with a chuckle...

I met up with an old friend of mine shortly before the lockdown started (hi, Cathy!) and we went for a meal and to see a David Bowie tribute act. The next day she was chatting about me with a young cousin of hers, who immediately wanted to know how much I was worth! In the old days there could have been no answering that question, but in this era of the internet that should be a fairly easy fact to find out, right? So she popped online, and lo and behold, there it was, on a site called Celebstrendingnow dot com (Facebook won't let me link to it, so they obviously already know that it's a home of Fake News chancers). And according to them, I'm worth a nice little...

...wait for it...

124 million dollars!!!

That's not a typo! And there are no decimal points involved!

$124,000,000!!!!

Cathy, of course, knew that was absolute nonsense (I've done nicely out of my books, there's no denying that, but nowhere even NEAR that sort of a figure -- if that figure was the Sun, I'm so far removed from it that you'd have to call me Pluto!). But that didn't stop her from dropping me the link accompanied by a cheeky little text:

"If I'd known you were worth that much, I wouldn't have paid for the meal last night!!!"

:-) :-) :-)

Right folks, enjoy your weekend. I'm off to spend it on my kilometre-long yacht, where I'll be bathing in a hot tub filled with champagne -- so much bubblier than normal old bath water!!
