Mummy buys you a PlayStation at age 5, a mobile phone at 10, motorbike at 12 & a car at 17. Mummy keeps wiping your arse & washing your clothes while you work for peanuts. Back at the ranch, a pilots wage continues to fall in real terms, second divorce leaving a trail of financial and relationship carnage with kids & ex.
