I woke this morning to find that the cruelest insults are actually delivered by the no-more friendly postman.
I'm often told that I can pass for a lady in her twenties, most are usually suprised by my age, but it seems that this is perhaps nothing more than flirtatious charm as sat there, amongst my mail, is a letter from Michael 'Bloody' Parkinson, as he will now be forever known in my home, wearing a smile that sits comfortably between smug and sincere, genially asking "aged between 50 and 85?"
Now, I appreciate it was a somewhat restless night and that I'm possibly not looking like an oil painting this morning, but even still......harsh. |

It's even worse when at 45 people begin suggesting that in 5 years time I 'll qualify for all sorts of low insurance companies designed for the over 50s and how many fookin carriage clocks I'll amass just for asking for a quote.
Don't these companies realise that in the modern world we don't need so many timepieces anymore. I haven't worn a watch for 20 years or so!  |

But you're only 37! You can put photos of you enjoying yourself at V Fest and look trendy on your mantle whereas if I did it I'd look like an old fart trying to hang onto something long gone lol. |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |

If it's any consolation, I'd rather have sex with you than Michael Parkinson.... |

you wait till you do reach the dreaded (well it isn't so bad actually) big 50. The number of letters you get around your birthday reminding you about cheap insurance/holidays/stair lifts etc is unbelievable but when you actually enquire as to the discounts you can always negotiate better with the 'ordinary' companies. The best one I get regularly though is about flammin funeral expenses and not to leave our loved ones with an unwanted bill. Well personally I hope the funeral is unwanted more than the bill! Oh and by the way I intend going on for a few more years yet anyway!!! |

Don't fret, it's not all bad.
Stannah are introducing a range of Carbon fibre "boy racer" accessories for their stairlifts, i can't wait.
And i will expect my walk-in bath to be fully mp3 compatible, and advertised in the Sunday papers by Danni Behr in a swimsuit (phwoar!)
And in the next few years Levi's will have introduced a range of elasitcated trousers! |

They were talking about oap homes for gays yesterday (yes radio4) and it started me thinking about homes for bi's and swingers - or do we all deny our pasts when we are older
I did think when we started this that we would only dabble for a cpl of years but it's been 15 years now and at the Michael bloody Parkinsonism age of 47 (aka nearly old enough for a free pen ) should we be planning to fund suitable homes that encourage free play or give up soon !! |

Fight and you may die. Run and you
will live at least a while. And dying in your bed many years from now,
would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for
one chance, just one chance, to come back here as young (wo)men and tell
our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take
our (swinging) FREEDOM! |

*gets coat*"
I hope your bed has rails to pull us back up again...need all the assistance i can get in my years of decline... |
