Thanks - but I've checked with the Missus and she confirms I am generally pretty useless - but fortunately still OK in the other area under consideration.

OMG - TMI, Bob; TMI

JMH (mid-40s ish)

There is the classic joke, though: old bloke goes to the doctor and says

'Doctor, me and the wife, we're just not getting any pleasure from sex any more'

Doctor: 'I see, and how old are you now?'

Patient: 'I'm 83, and the missus is 79'

'I see' says the doctor, stifling a smile, 'And when did you first notice this?'

'Twice last night and once again this morning......'

What does LOL mean???

I used to think it meant "love you lots" and was then really very disappointed to discover that nobody loved me!

Anyway, since when is 46 middle-aged?? Tiddle that, I'm going to be young until I hit 94 or thereabouts, and then I might die. That's the plan

Excellent article in the Telegraph about a much neglected group - the middle aged man:

I’m loving being middle aged, says James Delingpole (aged a sprightly 46)

'We represent, argues Bainbridge... “the most impressive living things yet produced by natural selection”. No, better than that, we are “an elite caste of 'super-providers’”; we’re “the main route by which culture is transferred”. We also “tend to be better at developing long-term plans, selecting relevant material from a mass of information, planning [our] time and co-ordinating the efforts of others – a constellation of skills that we might call wisdom”.'

'bout time too!

Cheers,

Niall
