Occasional Digest - a story for you

A MAN is so full of himself he believes he deserves a party to celebrate his 64th birthday.

Kevin, not his real name, from Portugal, has messaged his colleagues, friends and family to ‘check everyone’s free’ today, seemingly forgetting he had a 60th birthday party in 2020 and therefore had used up his quota.

Husband, Allan, not his real name anymore, said: “I mean, what the fuck? Talk about hubris.

“What kind of egotistical monster thinks 64 is something to celebrate? Worse yet, to force other people to join in?

“Does he not remember his 60th? I was ill, Cassie cried, Chris got food poisoning and Kieran had to leave early because his mother had had a fall. I’ve barely recovered, and now the conceited prick has the nerve to do it again.

“He’s not the god-emperor of Rome. He’s just a man, and he will be brought low and reminded of his place when I say I can’t do that weekend because I’m going camping.”

Allan said: “I’m sure it doesn’t really matter that it doesn’t have a zero at the end. We’ll all have fun!”
