There are two things I like about this picture beyond the fact that the guys in it are good mates of mine now (by the way, I have been hanging around too many Brits and Aussies...  I now use weird words like mate and queue).

1) Everyone is this picture had cut their hair (or mustache as the case may be) after I had mine cut, so at least I was leading a trend.

2) Everyone in this picture is older than me, which is a weird solace around a birthday.
