"Young man...?"

[swee'pea99]

...said an old feller yesterday as I passed, seeking someone to give him a hand up some steps. Quite made my day.

Then this afternoon cycling up the hill on my way back from swimming, an urchin - no more than six or seven - suddenly cried out 'hey, big fat man.'

Such is life.

Kids are such wonderful little darlings.

I was visiting a client in Eyemouth on Tuesday, after which it being such a nice sunny day I went for an ice cream in one of the seafront cafés.
I ordered a cone, which was £2.40 on the price list.
"That'll be £2 please" said the girl behind the counter.
I looked again at the price list.

Cones £2.40
Cones kids/OAPs £2.00

Wow. Must be at least 35 years since the last time I was mistaken for a kid.

I've got no grey hair at all.

Ok, I've got no hair at all either.

I've got no grey hair at all.

The top of my polished dome is 183 cm above the floor. As I'm still being taken for a kid, does this make me eligible for your tall and beautiful persons club?

 

[Drago]

Mr Celine, you just squeak into the club the the narrowest of margins. Ironically, if you had hair you could be as tall as 6'5" with judicious use of hairspray.

Welcome to the home of the tall and beautiful.

I get called 'young man' all the time by my neighbour's son, and am flattered that this is more to do with the Village People than my genes.
