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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
