Getting Old

[jinks]

In the Brian Wigley thread I said that the older one gets, the more funerals one gets invited to.

I have just been told of the death of Derek Whittam.

His funeral for local readers Monday 16th. Contact the Nightingale Club Birmingham for details.

I post this so that another ex-pat in Pattaya the third partner M.H. (no names rule) in Partners Bar might know of his passing.

Derek was a mutual friend of Brian, M.H. and I. He was a year younger than Brian ONLY 65 !

I now have to ask myself... will I out last them ??? being 60 now.

If you go steady this Christmas you may well get to 61.
As you can see I look after myself! :cheers:

You are not an old man Jinks dont let it worry you. You are only as old as who you are feeling.

Treat every trip as your last so every trip from then on is a bonus.

The thing I dread about family Xmas it the long discussion about who has died.

For a gay man it is not as bad as the endless when are you going to find another woman and settle down.

It is hard for divorced men but for those that have never married any family reunion is a night mare.

I love the story of the gay man who used to be taunted by aunts sisters and others at every wedding,

engagement parties and christening "you ll be next"

Now he looks forward to funerals so he can have the reverse shot back "You ll be next"

Now I know why you are called 'rogered'. Do those teeth catch on his foreskin!

Happy Christmas and hope you go on a photoshop course next year.

stop counting at 45 and start going backwards. I'll actually be 16 in 3 months and of legal age of consent if anyone's interested.

One can scoff and say "you'll be next"..

but I always say-live every day like it's your last day on earth-one day you'll be right.

## I've had 2 friends kick the bucket in the past month-one was 75 , the other 43. I've stopped going to funerals, unless they are fun. The next I go to will be my own. Strangely, people have been contacting me lately and wanting to book seats for it already.

That my dear Doris is because I have been selling tickets!
As much as we love you we remain practical, to the end, oh and in accordance with health and safety regulations your liver will not be cremated with the rest of you it will be incinerated in a controlled explosion somewhere in the Nevada desert.

Doris and Thanpuying Sanitree good posts.Really made me laugh!

No, But they catch on mine.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Very sage advice Wombat! I will certainly keep this in mind on my next visit.

We Must Stop This Immediately!

Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper? Groceries are heavier.
And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I
was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones.
They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just
keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message
until they're red in the face! What do they think I am a lip reader?

I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the
other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an
old friend the other day and he has aged so much that he didn't even
recognize me.

I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this
morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY
NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life
and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I
can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them
screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they
suddenly start labeling a 32тАЭ pair of pants as 42тАЭ? Do they think
no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same
prank. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial?
HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people
think theyтАЩre fooling?

I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but
the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the
phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in
there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer
these awful indignities.
