A short whinge…
I’m worried that something weird’s happening to me. Maybe it’s old
age, since I’m now the wrong side of 35, maybe it’s a subliminal side-
effect of living in Oxford. I’m off to see a Shakespeare play tonight,
I find that more often than not the radio’s tuned into Classic FM, I
even own the full 20 volume OED. Hell, I can even remember how to
use a pen, even if it is a biro. I’m a subscriber to the Folio Society
and increasingly I find that cheap fizzy lager is being eschewed in
favour of quality bottled beers and fine Irish whiskeys. I’ve just
eaten a bloody salad. I find I’m tentatively hanging on to bawdy
youth by still listening to the Macc Lads occasionally, but I fear
it’s a losing battle. Rather than drive everywhere and get irate
with other drivers I walk "to stay healthy." Don’t even talk to me
about wireless telephones or today’s popular "yoof" scene, whatever
one of those looks like.I am now Old.
Chris, not to worry you’re not old, you’ve simply grown up. You are now mature and cultured with an eye for the finer things in life.

You old folks are so gullible sometimes.
