[HPFGU-OTChatter] I think I'm getting old

[alex fox]

I agree, Richard! Nonsense and codswallop, all that! I do appreciate that fact also.Trying to type with HP5 in your lap is silly enough! I actually got chills when they brought out a copy at 15 before midnight and held it up! Then they tried to read from the first chapter, but the cacophony was too much for the reader, and she gave up. But it was fun watching the kids, especially the over 30 ones, all dressed up and shivering with antipication! Well, I was one, too!

I'm about to leave home for Waterstone's (I expect no queues when I get 
there and they open the doors at midnight - just over half an hour away!) 
and had a quick look on the Newsround site to see what the kids in queues 
around the country are texting in on their cellphones.

I actually had to think and concentrate on understanding it when I saw this 
one:

I nt in a q @ t moment bt2mrw I goin2a bukstore whr Chris Rankin(Percy 
Weasley)wil b!I cnt w8.Il keep u updated wen im thr!

God, I really AM getting old!

I will be back in less than an hour to crow about my new acquisition (I'm 
taking cash to pay for it, just in case the electronic banking system falls 
over...)
