All alone in my silent confessions long I have dwelt on secret battles fought, and poison arrows of those obsessions alas might pierce my last refuge methought. But having crossed my Rubicon I wait in new beginnings, in love’s boons to be where new battles will rage and punctuate the fullness of time in his century. To that cause I am heart and soul aware and exceptional favour bears me more, that in my time I’ll have a son and heir who fills in me what was missing before. Soon I will hail on a day still to dawn to me a millennia child is born. Written: January 2000 For Oscar

I am happy for you. And for your son too.

Thanks Hilda. When they handed over the baby they forgot to give me an instruction booklet. No guarantee or warranty either. Any idea where I can get one? Cheers.

Awww Keith does have a softer side after all. Sweet tribute to your newborn. So.. he's 25?

Circa 1982 but deffo a 70's carryover. "C'mon get happy..."

You look about 25 in that new pic. A very 70s look. Got some Keith Partridge vibes going on. C’mon, sing us a few bars!

Let's hope he gets to keep the hair ;). Mine will be 43 in August

Yep, 25. He has the long hair and attitude to go with it but he’s a vast improvement on his prototype (me) at that age.
