Didn't work out well for Jimmy Saville 😬 Steve It did work out for Sir Jim.. he did it for f**king decades and was protected by very a influential organisation.. It only went tits up when he croaked. (Didn't work out for John Lydon ....)

Never used to have memory probs but then was on "Gabbies" for about 18 months for nerve pains and it fecked my head Now as said before I remember useless crap from years ago. Can remember every reg number I've had However I can make my wife a bacon bitty and a year on from the problem I can never remember if it's ketchup or brown sauce which does her nut in It just won't stick in my head So negative is my memory is sometimes shagged Positive is I've an excuse when I forget to do things Steve Your not the only one with a memory like that.. I do think it is far more common than we realise.. Having thought about old age shite that we have to put up with.. the only benefit is being very nearly deaf in one ear... I can have selective hearing. And there arnt that many people who I actually want to hear anyway.. most of them can just feck off!

Middle age?.... Oh yeh, those were the days. I remember when I were middle aged, you could buy a brand new bike for less than the price of a phone............. And so on endlessly.

what was the answer..?
er.. I had some somewhere.. forget where now.
to be honest, there's always something that happens during each day that makes me feel glad i saw it or was there,
today's good time was getting the half hour to replace the auxiliary belt on my van which had snapped when my AC compressor seized five months ago, I had fitted the new unit two weeks ago.. I'v got Boxing day pencilled in to replace the bumper and other stuff I had to remove to get in about it. It's good to be busy but.. I'm glad i'v only had to visit folks in hospital.

One definite plus about getting (or in my case being) older is that you can walk into any bike dealership requesting to tested ride the latest mega expensive whatever you fancy and be told "no problem Sir, it's got plenty fuel in it, take your time"
