Men!

I suppose there are ways and means of not breaking a few more ribs! Thanks, Hunt! First to find that someone though ...

Still romping and enjoying it at 65 and 73. That's after a kidney removal (me) and a cardiac arrest (DDH) plus prostate cancer - awaiting treatment (him of course) Why do you think I am still sitting here waiting to hear the snoring. AND jumping out of bed as soon as I wake (kidding really, I adore him)

As for your neighbour, insensitive and a complete prat. Have a list of replies if the subject comes up again.

Marelli, that was priceless. I think we possibly had the same BiL. I had one who thought he was god's gift and so sharp witted.

Do we all share a bil?

Ignore him gummy. He's not even worth thinking about.

grummy What an unpleasent bloke this is ignore his comments and have yourself a good reply for next time you may be in his company to shoot him down if he says anything personal again.

Grummy. Until that someone special turns up, don't forget that you are special too, so, before you commit yourself to anyone, make sure he deserves you.

You all are brilliant at cheering me up no end! And Agus, I have never really thought of myself that way, but if anybody appears on the horizon I might just apply that thought, note - if anybody appears

Good point Agus! Don't settle for second best Grummy

Grummy, don't forget that thought and if someone does appear on the 'horizon', make sure you have your glasses on. If he fits the bill, it will be his lucky day.

I think you only find someone when you stop looking .

It's never the end of the road, Grummy, and you are only 55! I think at any age being kind and considerate are the main criteria for a good relationship. A good sex life is the icing on the cake, don't you think?

Oh dear, I mentioned the s word! .

Have some because you are worth it!

Agus LOL!

Flipping heck 55 is no age. Im 57 and if anything happened to me and my lovely partner I would hope neither of us would spend the rest of our lives on our own.
I remember reading somewhere that we need 3 different partners throughout our lives, one for the early young fun, one for the middle tricky bit with a mortgage and bringing up children and one for growing older with. If we are lucky its the same man for all 3 phases. So 55 is def not the end of the road!

Kitty, I think its Grummy NOT Gummy

Yep Judthepud, I love the icing still. You are still a spring chicken Grummy for you
