PETER PAN SYNDROME

The characteristics of a "Peter Pan" include:
  • Irresponsibility
  • Rebelliousness
  • Pottering About
  • Anger
  • Narcissism
  • Dependency
  • Manipulativeness
and the belief that he is beyond society's laws and norms.

Turning 30 is a remarkable thing, I mean getting this far is almost miraculous, narrowly avoiding the Rock'n'Roll death at 27 (Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin etc). It's even more bizarre the fact that Freddie just turned 18. One life about to begin it's merry adventure and the other contemplating settling down. Well, Wade is not your average 30 year old, and he has many more lives within him. 

So he celebrated the event in true style. He dressed up in a pretty pimp Peter Pan outfit and Tinkerbell looked ravishing on his arm, it's a shame Captain Hook (his Dad) couldn't make it down. It was not long before he was getting "the naked bumps" at Sketch in front of his poor cousins (courtesy of Wynd & Calum).

After Sketch, The Joiners Arms (Gay bar in Shoreditch) & The Fucktory from the night before. We were very much looking forward to a more civilized birthday celebration at Wynd's house in London Fields. We planned dinner for 7.30pm but as always with roasts they take forever, so we ate around 10pm, which gave us plenty of time to drink lots of red wine. Nathan did a stirling job in the kitchen and it was a really pleasant atmosphere with lots of friends old and new, who all seemed to get on great. 

The food was followed by speeches, terrible jokes and of course an impromptu acapella version of Bohemian Rhapsody. We later put on a Fez each and marched over to The Dolphin for a final drink or two many. Wade managed to catch a mouse with his fez, but obviously let it back into the Hackney night.
