I can vouch that, with age being my tutor, one's capacity decreases in memory, patience, cash flow, friends, alcohol absorption, hair, sight, hearing, and teeth.



One's capacity with age increases for aches, pains and stiffness, curmudgeonly behaviour / grumpy old mannishness and use of the flush toilet.


So far there is little to recommend this state of being, except perhaps the bus pass, carpet slippers, and cardigans for the tasteless, shapeless, and hapless male.

Sensible? Sensible? Are you kidding? Don't be silly. If you follow my example then you'll know it's not true. I went out for a drink early on Friday afternoon, carried on right through the night, next morning and afternoon. Had a couple of hours kip early in the evening, back out for a dinner party and then for a few drinks before last orders on Saturday night. That's the trouble with the younger generation, no fecking staying power. Bunch of wussies!

I'm a complete lightweight in the alcohol department - barmaid's apron. Very cheap date - don't eat much and can't drink much. My strict rule is stop at 2 but Wednesday was not a good day, and I went to 3 (possibly 3 and a half - who knows). Suffice to say I had the mother and father of all hangovers. The lowpoint, possibly of my whole year when I think about it, was jumping off the bus at the Elephant & Castle and ... dear God above I can't believe I'm typing this ..... being sick down my own sleeve. Classy.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
