    Can some of the olds on here reassure me please? Zippy, Norrahe, mudskipper, Brillo, say it ain't so.

      I'm 84 in January. But having just signed a new six month contract, I find myself pretty happy overall.

      My only problem is the Bobs - they still can't keep up.

                Hang on a minute,

                Suity might be right

                I dived headfirst into contracting at the ripe old age of ........ 45!

                Maybe as I was already a miserable old git, contracting was the only way left to turn.

                    I just turned 52 and no different from when I was 22 and no, I'm not a miserable auld git.

                    What midlife crisis? I can afford all the musical instruments I've lusted after for years, any other indulgences that take my fancy since I can afford them now (think expensive hobbies). So why would I 'turn weird'?

                    Ah wait, no wife, no kids. Does that have a bearing on things? Life doesn't get much better than this.

                      Gah, kids these days. No respect.
