The other solution is for us
to call it a day as we are in our sixties and probably too old for this
sort of stuff!!


Nonsense! I'm in my sixties and I just bought new equipment in the
last 6 months. If your ears (or even one ear, as in my case) still
work you're not too old to listen.

....and I'm amused for a different reason. I went to see a good friend
of mine Wednesday night last week, and when we were making the plans I
mentioned hearing something on the scanner. He said "SCANNER! What are
you, 60 years old?"

So what *is* a 34 year old supposed to call it?

I think my friend was poking gentle fun at what he perceived as a
retiree's pastime, when you're light-heartedly suggesting that you're
too old for at a young retiree's age.

I just call it a hell of a lot of fun, myself.
