Too cool for school - a Hugger and a snub-nose .38!

I doubt then that it is a young Ian Ogilvy - though it does look a bit like him. Odd they're carrying sten guns in an early 60's American TV show........

Maybe so - but when I was your age - you were still at school. When I was a younger man, blokes I worked with used to say "enjoy your youth, it flashes past you before you know it ..."  and typically, with youthful exuberance (and arrogance) I used to think 'yeah, yeah, whatever" . And here I am many years later realising they were right - and doing it myself ...... 'Youth is wasted on the young, blah blah blah  .... "

In your 20s you think life is just going to keep getting better and better. When you arrive in your 30s you realise that 'now' is as good as it ever gets so you had better make the most of it. 
Your 30s ought to be a great age, you should have a deal of experience by that time but plenty of years ahead to make your way in life. I say 'should have' but I wonder at the number of people now, who by dint of economic circumstance, are still living with Mum and Dad well into their mid twenties or older. By rights they should have had several years of fending for themselves by then, making their own decisions and surviving on a wage packet, but inevitably they are cushioned from these realities of life whilst they are still luxuriating in the bosom of the family home. Some of my friends and colleagues have offspring that should have departed long ago and they don't seem able to get rid of them. They walk and look like adults but there's an underlying softness to them because you know that Mum probably still does their washing and gets most of their meals ready. Although they supposedly can't afford to move out they seem to have plenty of disposable cash and are able to afford nice cars, holidays and nights out with friends, while all the time Mum and Dad are there to bail them if they overcook the expenditure.  They're in no hurry to give it up either.

nice shirt!

I'm so sick of summer already, give me fall weather.
