The slowly ageing dive population????

[Howard Payne]

As you get older - I reckon you do it less well but you do it calmer and with better judgement and you learn what to leave out.

Very much like making love to a beautiful woman in fact.......

Its what you leave out rather than put in that counts when calm decision making is what keeps you alive.

Why is it always an attack on me?????

I never said I was good in the water, please god, I dread ever typing this message.

Again 5 have magically upset people with no intention I'm sorry for all those that got annoyed but can you tell me why without ripping in to me straight away???

Not a pretty picture- you wouldn't want to be in their gang.

I'm a currency Broker, I get paid to look at the markets all day every day. Boring job but unfortunately it does put me in a more dominant position to discuss the economy on a daily basis.

I won't go in to the 10p tax as I don't believe it is right and completely not relevant.

Patronising me only serves to prove my point!!!!

I was only making a point hat there is a very small number of divers my age, and asking why is this, do we think there is anything we, as a collective can do????

As in divers there are different grades and that is true of currency brokers - and I note broker, not trader, so in that case, if it is within your limit, can you book me £500 in U$ for end of May. If not, I will ring your office Thomas Cook? direct tommorow.
And when you see Howard, ask him what I do.

When I was a mouthy little f&*ker of a Fundamentalist Andy Carroll threw me the Parker Turner to George Irvine quote:

"Take the cotton wool out of your ears and stick it in your mouth"

I hated it at the time - but it was so true

Buggered if I can work it out? Spend money? Tend Vines? Cave Dive? Churchwardenize?

WTF do you do?

Because they can't afford to dive regularly or buy the kit. Unless they have rich parents.

I couldn't afford to dive or get enough time off work to dive regularly until I was 40.

And what's wrong with old divers? Stop being so ageist. That is patronising too.
