The Week in Review
What’s up, what’s down…
Time for the winners and losers awards folks. Summer is generally a boring affair in many respects, politicians make themselves scarce, bad news gets buried as we are all too busy complaining that we are too hot, too cold or too wet and if you live in England all three in the same week.
Here’s what’s made me hot under the collar tempered with that which makes the blood boil….
National Geographic Magazine:
A day off-most appreciated
Vauxhall Insignia-most pleasant
Girls who work in bookshops-most attractive
Coming home-most welcome
Being told someone thinks I’m ‘cute’ at 42
Barn Owls-awesome
Chat Weekly Magazine
Kerry katona-pictures and stories of someone utterly devoid of talent. Why?
Lindsey Lohan-who cares?
Big Brother-sod off and let me watch Frasier
Falling asleep four times on my day off
Waking up at 3.30 am on my day off-hence the above
Shaving
Motorways and major A roads
Stocktaking-a drag
Being 42 and old enough to be admirer’s father 
What’s yours? Here’s something to kick start your weekend….
Being 42 and old enough to be admirer’s father
that’s the correct age gap - the last thing you want to be looking at when you’re in you’re 40s is women in their 40s . . .
It’s all cellulite and facial hair - very unpleasant

Rod,
I adore women of all ages, especially the 30-70 year old’s who frequent my blog

Pffft - they’re shot through at 25

Rod,
You are quite right of course…. it would be terrible to see Miles drive up to the family luncheon alongside a drop dead gorgeous, wealthy middle-aged woman…. let’s hope for his sake it never happens
By the way what’s with the last shot we saw of you wearing fuchsia pink lipstick? I’ve either got some screen contrast issues or you’ve been hanging about again in department store cosmetics….. we’re heading into autumn for goodness sake, next time go for the crushed satsuma

wealthy middle-aged woman
That’ll mean she’s already hammered some guy in a divorce, best steered clear of

Rod,
This poor (not literally of course!) woman has been condemned without fair trial…. as long as she has less facial hair than Miles I can’t see the problem. We’ll overlook the cellulite now that she’s booked in for weekly Dead Sea mud cling film wraps….. lord knows she scrubs up well, not easy in the circumstances either

Cid,
she’s not been condemned - she’s young - you mentioned a drop dead gorgeous, wealthy middle-aged woman not the OP.
The reason I’m not keen on older women is because I only look about 19 or 20 myself so I’d look like a toyboy with a middle aged woman on my arm

Rod,
That 19/20 yr old look-alike arm of yours is certainly cause for concern…. is it the same length as the other one? I’d get that looked at if I were you

Miles,
Your brother appears to have an arm that looks less than half his age…. is it a family quirk?
Be careful with shop assistants, mischievous they can be… not that I would know of course

Cid,
I wish my hair looked half its age
