Research has revealed that women are better than blokes at recognising faces. I pointed this out to Mrs Old Fart but she insisted that there was no excuse for me failing to recognise her.
On a more positive note research has also shown that old farts - whilst we cannot remember what we had for breakfast - have very good long term memories and our experience enables us to take decisions and manage more effectively than the young’uns. So despite the BBC and most media companies being run by 22 year olds it seems us old farts could make a better fist of doing things (well lets face it anyone who wasn’t a left wing dyke could do a better job of running the BBC). Quite encouraging really except we do not want to work and would prefer to stay with our laid back lifestyles.
It also seems we blokes are catching up with the sheilas in terms of life expectancy which means they will have to put up with us for longer. So watch out for funny tastes in the cornflakes or the statistics might take a downturn…….
Darling,
Talking of corn flakes…….I was having mine the other morning…instead of my oats……when I saw you you walking in the garden with your ’special friend’. Your were openly discussing the fact you had been to see Willie together! I hope you’re not thinking of going over to the other side again, after our romp by the Rhodies I was sure you had forgotten all that nonsense………looks like we need another session!
Love
Pen X
I sort of remember I was in a band once man but someone told me I fell out of a coconut tree and lifes been a mystery since …… except for Kylie . What a chick . Man I dont need to worry about remembering nothing cause shes always wanting to remind me with another session . And she dont care about rhodedendrons .Man anything will do

I knew this would happen - your blog has once again begun to show signs of loosing its way in this very competative publishing world that we live in .
Over recent weeks I have had a team of my senior managers analyse the content of your blog. They report that
1 The sharp political analysis has gone to be replaced by dreamy comments about for example ‘maidens in the woods’
2The depth and insight of IT trends and business research that clearly made you famous has all but gone to be replaced by rants about the short term memory capacity of old farts
3 A clear admission (in the last blog particularly ) that you are much happier having a ‘laid back lifestyle ‘ which presumably refers to your hobbies of church fund raising and porno movies .
4 The contributions from followers of your blog have also lost their depth and intellect . I particularly have missed Urban Eric and wonder why on earth you continue to publish the suggestive comments from ‘Penelope in the gate house’. She clearly is a very sad woman indeed . I have many other publications in my empire that would suit her far better than the hitherto intellectual blog of yours particularly the monthly publication Sex and Lust in later Life .
Old Fart I have offered to buy your blog on several previous occassions but I do think now that the timing is right for both of us. I am prepared to pay €450 for 100% of the equity in your blog and will guarantee to invest a further €2.5m in developing and marketing it . I would like you to stay with us to look after our SAP system which I am told you are well equiped to do and I feel it may suit you better than the demands of the blog at this stage of your life
Please do give this offer your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you
Rupert
I have that problem contenuously. Can’t recognize a woman by her face…difficult time getting to the face with all the other bits and pieces to admire….so mrs Old fart is right…they win.
