Actually I think it’s the old farties who are rude and inconsiderate, pushing into queues, claiming their pensioner privileges and ranting about young people today; most of the young folks I meet are quite polite and friendly.

At what age do you lose an interest or stop going on fairground rides? E.g. the Bumper cars, Walzer and Rotor? Going on with your kids doesn't count. I can't say I miss the Bumper cars or the Walzer a great deal, but wouldn't mind having another go on the Rotor.

I thought politicians were getting younger. Prime Ministers anyway? Are managers also getting younger? I thought these used to be older guys?

GB is looking older. When he first took over from TB his hair was totally black. I saw him on the news yesterday and he's going very grey/silver - perhaps he's been inspired by Darling?

Darling seems to be a bit undecided about whether to age or not. His eyebrows are making a last stand.
