My Midlife Crisis

[Malc]

I've discovered the joys of making soup with fresh ingredients and tonight I shaved my beard off.
If this is the extent of some kind of midlife crisis, I think I (and my wife) have escaped lightly.
I'm too mean to buy a Harley (and undergo taking the bike licence) too poor to buy a big red sports car, too cowardly to get a tattoo, too uptight to get an earring and too lazy to have an affair.

So beardless soup-making it is. Watch out, world.

You mean you haven't got a tattoo? I'll have to do a re-think about you - you've definitely gone down in my estimation!

Well at least you wont have beard hair falling into your soup.

[Roger Kettle]

I applaud your gracious acceptance, Malc. I like to drool and mutter.

No tattoo, Vulch. I nearly got an eagle tattooed on my shoulder when I was in the Air Corps (for six months when I was eighteen).
The tattooist turned me down on the basis that I was too skinny. He said "the last time I saw shoulders like that, they were on a sauce bottle".

Does that count?

I'm going to worry about any mid-life crisis nearer the time.

i am still waiting for my mid -life crisis

I expected to have a mid-mid-life crisis, but I was spared. I have noticed that about a dozen worryingly grey looking hairs have appeared at my temples, but I'm hoping those will just make me look distinguished in a few years time.



Unless I'm in Dundee of course....

I think MY mid-life crisis came and went while I was busy with the menopause!

I'm pretty sure I haven't had that yet.
