I have a few friends and relatives who act old for their years. I'm talking about people in the 50s and 60s who are in good health but are starting to act like really old folk. Examples:-
- The world,is going to hell in a hand basket. No data can dissuade them that we do not live in the very worst of times
- Driving well below the speed limit on clear dry roads, causing a tail back, of which they are unaware
- Avoiding any new technology, music or anything less than 30 years old
- Beige, what is it about beige?

fk that!

travel for work and can still drink to the wee hours. Monday mornings sees warp-speed, don't sleep enough
To be fair those are all still relevant, oh and having just purchased a house I am due to pick up a TVR on Friday morning- having not yet even bought a sofa etc for said house- so in terms of priorities/responsibilities I'm still pretty immature! rotate

Who needs a sofa when you can have a TVR!

The comment about fogies assuming they're right and that everyone must agree with them resonates.
Somewhere there's a line that says: Intelligent people have doubts whereas dumb people have certainties.
