When I left the House of Commons in 1992 I was still compos mentis just. I think some of the others stayed there without knowing that they are not, if you know what I mean' - Michael Foot 'The worst thing about Old Age is the speeding up of time I had a party for my 50th birthday and another for my 60th, three or four years later' - Raymond Briggs
