Am I getting old?

Talk about anything but keep it polite and reasonably clean.

Am I getting old?

Post by DRT »

I am sitting in a hotel bar in London. It is a quiet place, no more than 8-10 people in the bar for the past hour or so. A young (19-21ish) couple are sitting next to me having what is quite obviously a first-time-for-us-pre-coital chat. Mr Smooth is giving it his best to impress her with his wealth of experience in the business world and his obvious intentions of becoming the next Sir Alan Sugar. Her first real contribution to the seduction, at the top of her Chilean Cab Sav-fuelled voice, is "I've had an STD test and I'm clean. Are you?" "Cough-splutter, emm, errr, yes, I had one last month" says Mr Smooth. "Will we take this bottle up to your room then?" says Miss Demure. What followed was best described as "a rat up a drainpipe".

It wasn't like that in my day. :roll:

Derek, times have a changed. Just have a chat with your oldest son and I'm sure he'll help you get up to speed. Lol.

Nor in mine.

But to answer the question: yes. Unequivocally. However, note that while you may only be young once, you can be immature forever. 88)

A very Wise* young, sophisticated and beautiful woman once told me that, no matter how old, men never attain a mental age above six years. She wasn't wrong.
