My brothers and I aren't very competitive - especially not me and Mark, the eldest.

The following is a text exchange that took place last night:

[After inquiring what he was up to on Sunday, he says he's working]

Me: Okay. I'll be falling out of the sky.

Mark: Done that. Actually before you did.

Me: Fuck off! [Enquire if he's seen his mate in the paper lying about his age].

Mark: Yes I did. However never ever ever forget that I flew first. History cannot be changed.

Me: At least I'll have done it twice.

Mark: Yeah whatever. Only the first is remembered. Ever.

Mark: Everyone remembers Neil Armstrong. Though many have done it since. Alas u can jump forever but I am the one.

Me: Bah. At least [middle brother] Tim's done none.

Mark: In a way I liken myself to Connor McCloud. There can be only one.

Mark: Charles 1st. Elizabeth 1st. Caesar. Shakespeare. Alexander the Great. Maximus. Be the first. Lead, be strong. Never weaken and follow. Make history don't copy it.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhh!
