At 40+ you are pretty much unemployable

    Luckily, due to wearing a wig and some cool surfer clothes at work I only look 39.
    Yeah. Works for me, but it's a bit of a p1sser getting the surf board in the lift.

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        Agree with you slightly, but I feel a lot of the 'professionalism' you see these days is naught but a thin veneer under which there lies a yawning pit of sheer incompetence.
        indeed. and there is alot less drinking these days. which is a great shame.

          Mind you if I was as young as you and had grey hair I would dye it too.

            That witness to the girl who was killed in India is 8 years younger than me but looks several years older. (He's supposed to be 35, but has a partly-grey beard.)

            I often see people my age on TV and think - "no you aren't, you're twenty years older."

            Or am I fooling myself?

                You're

                At least at my age I can spell.

                And it is not grey - silver highlights.

                  Nope.
                  Some people age very badly.

                    That's cos your older than me.

                    When I've reached your age I will be able to spell to.

                    I won't have grey "highlights" though as I don't have any children or an ex-wife to stress me out.

                      I have grey hairs, but then again I'm growing old disgracefully
