The Daily LITG, 21st November 2019 – Happy Birthday Tom Akel

Apologies for the lower post count today, as well as it's also my birthday and I'm being taken out to see Stewart Lee's new show, Tornado/Snowflake tonight. So bear with a little more Jude Terror today than usual. I apologise in advance.

I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me. – TS Eliot
