What Mid-Life Crisis?
I was listening to John Beattie's programme What Mid-Life Crisis? and the gist of it seemed to be that we can all reverse the effects of age if we spend more time standing on our heads. Apparently that rush of blood to the brain does wonders for you. It's certainly cheaper than buying a red, two-seater sports car which was the option I was considering. Well, just as soon as my Premium Bonds pay off.
It was funny how so many of the celebrities interviewed on the programme talked about how they look in the mirror. I've always thought there is a Sunday supplement feature to be devised on this topic because the way we think we look in the mirror is, of course, different from the way everyone else sees us. There should be a feature called Mirror Image in which a person is interviewed about their own perception of themselves compared to what others say. This could be illustrated with a photograph of them looking in a mirror.
Actually, I might use that idea on this website if I can persuade one of our radio presenters to give it a go.
As for the mid-life crisis, I'm sure diary readers could suggest some tell-tale signs that's you're past your peak? I remember someone saying that the first sign for a man is when he can't pull on a pair of socks with sitting on the edge of the bed.
Me? I can do that standing on my head!
