Skinny tightest jeans with ankles showing, white tennis shoes or brogues, quiff, and bushy sculptural beard with no egg sandwich lingering in it. Fragrant and toned to perfection. maybe tattoos, maybe piercings, shoulder man-bag and designer shades. Called Jamie or Jack. Loves real ale and gastro-pubs, not keen on women even though heterosexual. Collects stuff like vinyl records, doesn't 'do' the countryside.

Perhaps those tight jeans suppress heterosexual urges?

Just hipsters. maybe it is me and I am not longer able to identify youth movements...and these are just the White dudes.....the Black Dudes seem to have their own genres.

All fashions look the same after you get to a certain age. They don’t really, but you just lose interest or desire to see difference, just young people, who old people hate, of course, though we rarely admit it, it’s their youth we think they’re wasting, like some of us did, and we hate seeing other people make that mistake. Here to help.

I like young people, I find them heart-warming and they give me hope for the future. Little girls will rule the world. Like Greta.

I don't hate 'em. Except when I do things like try to take a ski lesson that's filled with kids who pick it right up as I'm falling on my face, then I hate'em.

But when I take myself out of competition I think they're quite lovely. And yes, little girls are the best. Little boys are mainly annoying.

Of course, you could push him off a cliff, if you can find one. But I’m not suggesting that....

That's because older men are sexier as long as they have the appeal of maturity...but anyway, can you imagine? That sounds like the dream job (pre-COVID)!

Maturity, phfui. The only real thing you gain as you hit real maturity is you become less judgemental on account of realizing how many things you royally screwed up attempting to make your way through life. (Unless you're Scottish).

When you are Scottish maturity means shitting down someone's chimney instead of directly on their pillows. It takes a lot of maturity and a barrel of buckie to do that.

{{ True!

'A Scottish householder returns home to find that some idiot had taken a shit down his chimney. Mike Williams is furious as the chimney had only just been cleaned.. Mike raged: “I was just getting home from work when a neighbour ran up and said they had seen a wee ned (Scottish for ruffian) shitting down the chimney. “He’s even taken a wee photo on his phone. When I open the door the smell was incredible. “The wee bastards’s shite had landed in the grate, it was all over the place! “It was all on the rug in front of the fire. There’s no way it’ll brush out. What the hell am i going to say to the insurance? ‘Och, a ned shat down the chimney’? “If I get my hands on the little bastard I’ll kick him so hard in the arse he’ll never sh*t again.” A source at Grampian Police said the crime was “Unpleasant and unusual”. }}}

I have trouble climbing up onto roofs but nowadays, so it’s been back to pillows for me.
