So that makes you a cool forty-six then? :)



I am, by the way, set to ponder just how old this N. O'Spam person
really is.

Obviously quite young, and hailing from the modern school of little
regard for his elders, he feels the need to hide away behind a nom de
guerre.

What a nice man!

Mike

I'm an old fart, I was young once but that was many, many decades ago.
If I ever get to the doddering old fart stage then I promise I'll
never ever clutter up the aisles at Harrogate. It's a show that has
seriously outgrown the location, the doddering senile old farts just
push it over the edge and turn it into a deeply unpleasant experience.
Sharing a glorified unventilated tin shed with thousands of BO laden
pensioners stinking of piss when it's 70 deg F outside and touching 80
deg F inside is not my idea of fun. It'll be just my luck that they
all turn up on Saturday this year.......

People do say this about old people but the worst smells I have ever had
to contend with have come from young people (under 25 or so) especially
the smell of stale urine.

I hope I don't smell but one never knows about oneself because if you do
you would be used to it.

I am not that young but will be 76 in august.

I got my half century at the end of March this year. Most of the children at
work think that I'm already an old fart. I have to keep telling them that
there is a difference between old fart and miserable git.
