    Plus ca change

    In years gone by, I was a confident, outgoing, gregarious pub going loadsa friends nightclubbing sort.

    Well ok, not the last part.

    I'm sat at the bar in the hotel living up to eek's accusations, and there is me from yesteryear but old fat and grey carrying on like the centre of the universe. A gaggle of people all round him braying at his crap jokes and swilling beer like is going out of fashion.

    Here's me sat on my iPad, like a sad loner swilling beer like it's going out of fashion.

    I like my life now. Quieter. Not a total loner as I know all the bar staff now really well, and we can now communicate by "knowing look" from afar.

    So in my own, quiet way I came I saw I conquered, but without being a braying idiot.

    Makes me look back on my formative years with a wince.

    How have you changed over the years, and do you prefer the young you, or the current you?
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                Your standards mean that you ignore the question in the OP, and proceed straight to off-slagging.

                  Stand up, turn around and exit the hotel bar. Walk down the street and find a locals bar. One Marriott/Hilton/Raddisson is the same as all the others and is filled with people doing the same as you are now.

                  Let's face it, we both know you're going to get binned of this contract soon enough so you might as well enjoy the city you're in whilst it lasts.

                    My profuse apologies -
                    a) i have got older.
                    b) I don't prefer either.

                    But please have a look at your life.

                    This is NOT good!

                    Not a total loner as I know all the bar staff now really well, and we can now communicate by "knowing look" from afar.

                    That "knowing look" is a look of exasperation along the lines of "Oh Keeeerist it is that sad little f**k again"

                    HTH
