Rubbing it in …

Yesterday I was flicking through The Times newspaper and gave myself a bit of a fright. Well, Doctor Mark Porter – who is either their medical correspondent and/or a regular columnist on medical matters – did. In a piece entitled Paternal age could be an important factor in the health of your [...]

Why can’t I be left alone to be ancient and normal?

Every time the subject of sex is raised I know before I begin airing my opinions that I’m going to cop flak for coming across like an old fuddy-duddy. I’m therefore torn between resignedly just bowing to the inevitable, trying to deflect the incoming by admitting the charges before the [...]

A Lott to talk about

Sometimes one comes across a piece in the media that is so deep-felt and searingly honest, so potentially self-lacerating and ‘out there’, that you cannot help but feel sympathy for both the author and the other parties involved. Here’s one I came across today on the website of [...]

Keeping up (or not)

Speaking as someone whose own daughter met her partner via an internet dating site, I have never made any secret of my concern at the direction in which the modern world of technology and omnipresent social media has taken human relations and most particularly sexual ones. I guess it was a sign of [...]

Keeping the flame alive

I don’t know for sure but I suspect that a proportion of the Rust’s estimated 875,000 daily readers would agree with me in occasionally becoming tired and frustrated at the incessant complaints of some of our most prolific columnists about the modern world and the way that technology and [...]

It’s all wonderful in the mad world of PC-correctness

They say that people gravitate towards publications and media outlets that reflect/reinforce their own views rather than those that might tend to broaden their horizons. How did that old joke go? The Times is read by the people who run the country; The Guardian is read by people who would like to [...]

Fitness regime (Week Two)

And so, about a fortnight in and probably inevitably, we get to the first real hiccup in my new 2017 personal fitness regime. Last week for reasons beyond my control I had first to spend 36 hours in the country visiting family and then attend a bit of a blow-out meal where copious amounts of [...]

Fitness regime (Week One)

Although it has been only six days since I began my new fitness campaign, I deliberately weighed in yesterday because it was a Monday and (for me, like most people) the first day of a new week. Thirteen stone ten, which means I have lost just two pounds. To remind you of the basics – food (and [...]

A new (old) business idea

Whilst we await President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in about ten days or so’s time (and, on current form, presumably the end of human civilisation as we know it about a week later), it occurred to me that we ought to be sharing some of our hopes and fears for 2017. For the past few [...]

The fitness campaign starts here

We’re at that time of year again – New Year inevitably equals a looking back at our pigging out over the festive season (when we all ‘let go’ food and drink-wise because – as we intend to really sort ourselves out over the next twelve months – we may as well enjoy ourselves one [...]
