	<description>The diaTribe blog is our occasional take on life, the universe and everything. Observations on current affairs, the environment, politics, humour and music/gig reviews. Travel diary and extreme sports stories, along with the usual rants/raves are also chucked in for good measure.</description>

<p>Well&#8230;my 40th birthday is not too far away now.</p>
<p>I have to say I&#8217;m a little ambivalent about it all; On one hand I&#8217;m aware of passing another of life&#8217;s milestones and that naturally gives me pause for thought.  On the other hand, the first 4 years of the new millennium were (for me at least) largely crap and I&#8217;m not sorry to see the back of them.</p>
