Somewhere over the rainbow....

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.

i find young people more or less irritating. but then, i am irritable.

as well as people who stay in and make graphs, i am a person of limited going out, and people used to tell me i would never meet a man in my own living room, but then i did, and in fact my still-on despite it all boyfriend is someone no one could ever meet anywhere. he is immensely asocial, even though he is nice.

so there you are. gripping wasn't it? i'll get my coat.

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!
