It’s probably because you’re calling people of 60+ ‘very old’, I’d tell you to piss off too! That might feel along way to you now, but age has a funny way of creeping up on you (I’m not ‘that’ old, but closer than you , going by your comments).

But to answer your question more seriously, one reason is likely that we’ve gone from a society that was generally positive & helped each other (in a local sense), to constant negative news via the mass media & social media, & I think it just grinds a lot of people down, especially those that remember the ‘before’ times. But if you focus on the good things in life, often again at a more local level, life can generally be good(ish) for most people (unless you’re being savagely attacked by an oppressive force, as seems to sadly be getting more common around the world 🙁).

So long, & thanks for all the fish!

Found Roy Kent’s account…

And now I have Bobbing Along stuck in my head before I even clicked the video to relive my youth. And I thank you for it! Such an old skool classic film, maybe I need to add it into my yearly rewatch list. “Bobbing along, singing a song…”

I was with you until you said before breakfast!?!

Sodastream is from Israel, so that’s a big no from me. Only learned that recently when I was considering if I should buy one.

Not heard of Drinkmate before. Thanks for reigniting my hopes of home made carbonated water!
