It was more the built-in 24 inch waist corset that made it a challenge.

I'm old now, dude. Only proper clothing from now on.
Actually, that's a complete lie, I've got two corsets in my drawer at home that I bought last year, but they're certainly not 24 inchers.
In fact, that's a good point. Both should be too big for me now. Damn it.

fie and tosh - it means nothing. Missus UnderCover will turn 29 again in a few days and she's as stone cold sexy and wonderful as she was when I knew her as an 18 year old... sexier in fact.
I'm a saggy old fool who doesn't deserve her, but clearly she's grown used to me and can't be bothered to go through the hassle of replacing me :)

You think you're saggy
I bet she's like me and she realises that the older a man gets, the sexier he gets. Seriously.

As an ex-young man myself,
young men don't notice that young ladies are also retards, because they're too busy trying to get the young ladies' knickers off.
I assume the same is true in reverse.

An old friend used to have to have them made. I think he was a size 16 or 17. He's dead now, bless him (not because of his massive feet, or his massive rest-of-him, as it happens) but he always had brilliant shoes.
