    Life is subject to diminishing returns. Shagging a new woman is great, shagging the same woman the 1,000th time loses its appeal, unless you are drunk. Buying your first house is wonderful, buying your fourth house and moving again is a chore. Buying your first 50" television makes you feel like a king, buying your second 50" television because your first one broke is ****ing painful. Going on your first package holiday to Spain is an experience, going on your 30th foreign holiday leaves you longing for somewhere on Earth that isn't a capitalistic tourist hole.

    The only thing that makes me truly happy anymore is my children - and Celtic every now and again.

    I'm 43 and a mysanthropic, cynical old **** who hates pretty much anybody until i get to know them and then i might actually quite like the odd 1 in 10 people i encounter. I have been like that since I was 10 so I've had no mid life crisis. I am, however, likely to have topped myself by the time I'm 50 - but that's ok.

    I'm late twenties (34) and shagged my wife at least once a week since 1999 and can honestly say that I still love pumping her.

    I'll be moving to my 3rd house in the next few months, God willing ;), I like going abroad because I like the Sun/heat, I don't really give a **** what the scenery looks like, every place on the Earth has aspects of squalor and beauty a stones throw away from each other.

    It's always the ones who pretend to be happy who string it up, while the pessimists mope about the place for about a hundred years <whistle>
