My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

I can't get taken seriouslyI'm 41 but for some reason I'm still not a proper grown up.
Kids, degree (the fucking hard way, part time while working...and a proper one, non of this BA nonsense), career, professional qualifications, good at my job...none of it has shifted peoples perception of me as an upstart.
Just today I bumped into somebody I used to work with and he introduced me to his colleagues as 'young man' WTF!? People ten years younger than me and junior positions feel comfortable calling me 'son'.
It's not as I'm one of those perpetual prepubescent looking freakiods, I'm 6'4 hairy arsed bloke. I drink beer, I know how to hang a new door. I can repair a fishing net and handle a gun. I've done some proper adventuring and have ugly scars to prove it.
Gravitas can't be acquired it would seem.

its all that proper adventuring...it keeps you young. Settle yourself down and stop wearing fishnets at once, or accept the consequences.
Oh! Fishing nets. My mistake.

Make the most of itWhen you're 95 you'll still be able to act like a 75 year old.
Look for the silver lining.
