Are we just too old!

T. S. Eliot's view on age was:

"I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates."

Although he also said:

"There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him."

Just post it, and be done with it. then some other old gits like me can agree with you and share in your quandary ( sorry if that's not the queens English)" another grumpy thread".
It can't be as bad as a bbc headline, can it. Go on spill the beans, you know you want too.
Then as Fraud once said " let it go", well he didn't but he would if he was around now.

Filter out all of them !


Have you not noticed the positive thread "where am I....? " thread?
We need help on there, (and new photo libraries please)

yes, Freud.
Late night spelling not my best subject, daytime spelling either.
I like the Elsa comment, "let it go, let it go....etc" , 
Just trying to help in some way with the poster and at the same time had "an interest" in what might have been the subject matter 
ie, just a guess "lockdown fever"

And I've been thinking along the very same lines. Go to the Campra facebook page or web site if you want a good does of positivity.

positive thinking is not getting me the "where am I..?" photo.
ok, I'll start again....I'm hoping positively that someone new will get the answer soon and have a photo library full of lovely uk scenes to guess.
Boats, lighthouses, hills, old cars, old motorbikes, sea views, landscapes , green and pleasant landscapes. 

I was just trying to work that out...

Couldn't remember how to use it so reverted to this:

I just happened to be sorting out one of my desk draws this afternoon - I have some 25 - 30 year old calculators as well - all still work.

I did discover the other day that Alexa is able to do quite complicated calculations.

Never though of trying that - it works. Up till now I only used the echo dot in my study as a Bluetooth speaker
