...and I'm thinking when said trousers are pulled up as far as the armpits and have an elasticated waist. Usually teamed with a cardigan. That's when it truly begins (or endz)...

I think middle age spread refers to the relative measurements rather than absolute measurements, ie your waist gets bigger than it used to be in relation to the rest of your, er, vital statistics so you come to resemble an apple rather than an hourglass :))

Logically it's peak should be 39 years, 6 months, given that the average UK life expectancy is 79, so basically 35 to 45ish?


However, averages prove sod all. The average human being has one breast, one testicle, half a penis and half a vagina.


I am fast approaching that middle mark and I certainly don't feel middle aged, albeit I certainly DO feel older and would no longer be considered "young"


I'd say that logically you would have to subtract the first 12 years of life from the final figure, as you are undeniably pre-adolescent. Therefore the mid point between 13 and 79 is 46. Take that as the peak of middle age and add 5 years either side, I'd say that middle age should commence at 41 and conclude at 51.


But like any methodology is just musing and opinion.

A man far older and wiser than me once told me, ?Son, when a man reaches a certain age his hips start to spread and there?s nothing he can do about it.?


To which I replied, ?Yeah dad, same can be said for some of the girls I know and their legs.?


In reply to which he smacked me in the head and said, ?That?s the last time I try to pass on fatherly advice to you yah wee gobshite. Learn some respect for ladies.?


? And to think I paid for these pints.?


I think he was just pissed off because he had reached middle age.

When you're younger you can eat what you like, drink what you like and still climb into your 26 inch waist trousers and zip them closed. Then you reach that age, 24 / 25, your muscles give up they wave a little white flag and then without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard.

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
