like the tags, Steve :-)

He wants £2.10 to stick a second-class stamp on them, too. For 75 quid I'd expect them hand-delivered by Paul McCartney. On a monkey sp**k moped.

So Sir Paul wakes up on the morning of his birthday, feeling great.

He goes into his corner shop for his Sun and ten Bennies.

-Morning Sir Paul! It's your birthday today isn't it?
-It is indeed, Raj!
-Many happy returns, chief. 50 is it?
-Haha, you silver-tongued devil. I'm seventy five today!

And next door to the butchers for his free range Quorn pork pie.

-Morning Sir Paul! Happy birthday!
-Why thank you Hillary! Guess how old?
-I'd say around, ooh, I dunno...forty seven?
-I wish! Seventy five actually!

He's feeling great, really youthful. So pops into Tesco Express for his Blue WKD.

-One forty nine.
-Here you are, one fifty. It's my birthday by the way. Can you guess my age?
-um. Fifty two?
-No cigar! I'm seventy five!
-Happy birthday sir.

Sitting down on a park bench, he sparks up a benny, opens the WKD and turns to Page 3. A wretched stinking bag lady, ancient ruined fur coat matted with monkey sp**k, sits beside him and gurns engagingly (if toothlessly).

-Morning Sir Paul. Guess your age?
-Ho ho, go right ahead my dear!
She grabs a hold of him, stuffs her hands down his trousers and rummages around his family jewels.
-Yer seventy five, mate.
-Good lord! How on earth can you tell?
-I was behind you in the queue for the butchers.


Boom! Boom! It's the way I tell 'em.
