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.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
