Words that say it all.

 The Curmudgeon is struggling. I guess it's going to be tough when you've only got two readers.

This comment by him on Richard's Bass Bag* says it all.

Jealousy!

Well, I've tried to help the old chap but, let's face it, he's simply getting too old to write a good blog post.

Maybe he needs a new pastime? 

Okay, okay, I know, he'll look to me for suggestions. Here goes...

• Peter the toilet cleaner. Well, something like this has worked for Robert the apathetic sanctimonious sinner, toilet cleaner, threatener of eternal damnation, music snob and sucker. Old Peter must learn to start small, so just the one title for now. Later he could extend it to Peter the toilet cleaner and hurter of backs.
• Draughts is a game that I feel he could be successful at. It's not too difficult and it would be hard to hurt your back while playing draughts. Also, if you've upset most of your friends, it can be played online.
• Spotting car makes. Mike Wilson's boys used to do this when they were quite young and they became very good at it. All you do is sit by the side of the road and try to name the make of each car that drives by. "Toyota. Another Toyota. BMW. Honda. Some sort of French car, I missed that one. Holden. Honda. Cleanskin. No, hang on, that's a wine. Vauxhall. Hey, you don't see those much anymore! Ford. Toyota."
• Go into Catholic secondary schools and count the paedophile priests who still have their picture hanging on the wall. 
• Join a church and help out in the church shop. 

• Open a dairy. All you really have to do is sit behind the counter and occasionally stock up the shelves. If you stock up only single items, the back should be fine.
• Take up weight training.
• Become a film extra but avoid action films.
• Become a male model.
• Study Richard (of RBB)'s posts and become an interior designer.
• Get back to practising the bagpipes.
• Sit around.

I hope that helps.

Ciao tutti.
