It's time to hand in my idle bugger card and start looking for lycra things to wear:

(i) This afternoon, while waiting in a particularly well-chilled computer room for one of the semi-intelligent PDUs to restart, I started doing sit-ups to keep warm. They were easy.

(ii) I'm rather looking forward to the running-club-thing in two weeks.

Welcome to the ranks of the Middle-Aged Fit :-)

Yes. How else is one supposed to get a girlfriend in her twenties at our advanced age.

John, you need to take up disco dancing. I understand there is bleepy doofy stuff you will tolerate; time to get out the earplugs and show off them abs.

Worked for me :-) Was that comment based on knowledge or merely presicent? :-)

Looong experience. And thick.

Ah, I thought you were referring to the fact that the fragrant young damsel wildemoose and I were what you young people call 'an item'.

[wildemoose]

I'm really hoping that "fragrant" is a compliment.

Having never met either of you, I was speaking in generalities ;-) That said, I'm 39, my wife is 41 and my girlfriend is 33 and I have a great reluctance to go for any woman under 25. I've lost 10kg and gotten fit and decorative since marriage, which the loved ones seem to quite approve of. And teenage girls of my acquaintance (the ones who make me glad that moving here from another continent means they are very unlikely to actually be my children) seem to like the effect. Ah, the life of an old young wastrel.

Simon, this is David. He has regularly claimed to be the Australian me. (the poor bastard)

Those'll be the UV-reactive earplugs I picked up from the safety shop in a job-lot, then?

I'd need to recover my enthusiasm for the club experience, first.

Mind, I still think that one could have it average in gear entirely purchased from Edinburgh Bicycle and then go out on the morrow to do some miles in the same kit.
