I have never really set my stall out for an easy life. I mean the skinny insecure full of nerves lad joining the Army after a long Engineering apprentice may have been considered a tad ambitious. But it sort of worked out. Jumping out of a plane at 2000 feet and smashing myself up was a modicum of risky. But it worked out. Meeting a girl 15 years my junior with me being bald and looking older by miles may have been considered a little foolish. But it worked out. Ok there is tiredness and exhaustion at times , but she is keeping up bless her. However one of the things in the past that did get my 'white anger' going was stupid remarks about our age difference. So much so I had to take one bloke into the car park. He never made a stupid comment again.
Now I am much more relaxed. mainly because I don't give a shiny sh**e about stupid people.
Take last night. me and my partner of 15 years went out for a meal and saw a regular audience member. I told her that I had to be careful what I eat now because of my guts. She said in a loud voice 'Well when you get older all sorts of things go wrong'... actually she was right. But would the devil in me rise to an age comment???
But of course.
When it came time to pay the bill I said in a loud voice to the waitress that 'My mother sitting on the corner table, was paying it'!!!
Arnold ( I'll be back') Schwarzenegger is radically trying to change the benefit system in the USA (not a joke by the way) As he said, 'There is no low hanging fruit on the tree anymore' You must work to get it. Well I will be watching this with great interest and see if he succeeds and then I will be on to the UK Government personally if it does.
By the way, talking of the Army. It was there that I started jogging. But in them days they called it desertion?
