Wanting gifts that make you seem like a dinosaur.

I wanted a walkman for myself to listen to some books on tape (cassette). I had given my last one away with the books I had in the car at the time when visiting a relative who was bored in the hospital.

Anyway, most places don't even carry them anymore. In the end I was able to buy a red one that came with a nice set of headphones for only $9.99 because they are not very popular right now.

And while we are on the subject, aren't the salestaff very young this Christmas?

Its because you are getting on in life that the staff look so young.
I always think women pushing prams seem to be school children.

How about buying Peter a book on tact and diplomacy.

I tried, I did not say that a certain person was old. Anyway i could do with a new shovel.

What are you on about, Peeps. That IS Peter being tactful!

Because Diane gets involved in so many good causes, and works hard at everything she does, I find it difficult to think of her as elderly.

"Anyway, I could do with a new shovel" is going to be my new catchphrase.

She's definitely NOT elderly - she still has (and uses) a lot of energy that a twenty-year-old would envy AND she has a child who's younger than one of my grandchildren!

In the paper last week there was a seventy year old new mother so that does not help.

This is going back a few posts but..... why do you need a new shovel, Peter?

I told you all how old I was two years ago when I was 42 and was hoping to find the meaning of life during that year (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). I found the meaning of life and if anyone wants to know what it is I charge the same rate for this information as the Nomad (one quid) and I too finish off with a song.

So I could dig a big enough hole to disappear into.

OK. Now comes the really difficult question: what's the difference between a shovel and a spade?
