Somewhere over the rainbow....


Dating Pools 

xkcd....brilliant.
For some reason or other this resonates.
However, I doubt I could date anyone half my age plus seven (which is 30). In general I prefer women my own age. Not that I'm excessively prejudiced against the young.

We could start a branch of the Grumpy Old People Club.

Personally I can't wait until I'm old enough to have a bath-chair, pushed by a nurse in a white starched uniform, whilst I point my antique brass ear-trumpet at some young whippersnapper shouting "Speak up boy, can't hear what you're saying. STOP MUMBLING."
I have to get a monocle like Patrick Moore's. And I shall have to cultivate a twitch. And wave my cane in impotent rage.
Bah, humbug.

oh, absolutely. i am all about the bath chair. and the nurse has to have a starched uniform. i am feeling a view of a lake and small cups of very potent hot chocolate as well.
also, i was once at a party full of oldsters in a garden which had potted white hydrangias at face level. i noted that they were quite flattering against soft wrinkly skin and white hair, so that's on my list for later as well. in the mean time i am limbering up and will be really good at the full curmudgeon by the time i get there. other people will be mere amateurs compared to us!
