How to be middle aged

Excellent albeit depressing Financial Times article on how to be a middle-aged man.

I *can* wear jeans - phew

I should *not* be on Facebook - bummer

I can't dance at parties - quite right, and I shall remind Lia of that this very afternoon

I can only get drunk with someone I love, and not on my own. No comment.

Now comes Social Bookmarking in Plain English that's not only visually clever but actually explains it to me in terms even I can understand.

Better sign up.
