This is a question Getting Old

Drimble asks: When was it last brought home to you just how old you're getting? We last asked this in 2004, and you're eight years older now. Eight. Years.

I enjoyed the novelty of women minding their children to "Get out of the man's way", and being surprised that they were referring to me.
T'other day, however, I was in PC World, and asked a very pretty young female shop assistant about a product.

Her response was lovely - polite, smiling, slightly flirtatious, which was exactly what I was after - I was flattered, until I suddenly realised how easily it came to her, and how safe and un-self-conscious she clearly must feel around me due to the fact that she didn't consider the middle-aged man in front of her in any way sexually.

Wheras in your younger years she'd have clearly dispatched you with a look of pity, fear and/or revulsion.
I'm right, aren't I?

Not once I'd explained exactly what the score was.
Not once she'd learnt.

And they all learn, in the end.

They all learn.

Seeking advice from PC World staff?
I would warrant that no one has ever considered you sexually.

The only advice I value from a Pissy Werld employee...
Is where their demo products are located so I can have a meddle with them before buying them elsewhere.

Which reminds me, the last product I was interested in was a graphics tablet. I wonder how often their staff are told to check for CDC's on their demo equipment.

So that's why the pretty girl in the Co-op flirts with me. Bollocks.

Been there.

Next time
you should "jiggle your loose change", grunt and breathe just through your mouth whilst never looking her in the eye. She'll certainly consider you sexually after that.
