QUOTE: Originally posted by iandor How does a curmudgeon relate to an old fart, I undersatnd that i officially became one when I retired. I am certainlly not crusty nor ill tempered. I will be 70 in December next year and my interests are garden model railways, watching young women, surfing, my grandchildren, travel particularly international, sex and writing. i rarely lose my temper and get on very well with young people to the extent I am a mentor at the local high school. So what does all that add up to? well i don't know a pretty happy old bloke i guess. rgds ian
QUOTE: Originally posted by grandpopswalt We use the term freely, but really, what does it take to be a bonafide "curmudgeon"? Do you have to be a certain age to become a curmudgeon, or is it a state of mind? I'd vote for the latter. I know a few of our fellow members who exhibit all the earmarks of curmudgeondom but who are barely into their thirties. Walt
