[Bathsheba]

Don't do it!!

[puddicat]

[Theland1]

I left my job as an engineer in February, at age 57, and have just been turned down by Asda for a job as a trolley dolly!
Their loss eh?

[puddicat]

arrrr theland! you are so much better than that!!

[Theland1]

Thank you puddicat. Most kind.
Maybe there's a future for ma as a male model?

[Theland1]

"me"

[puddicat]

well tells us more whats ure mesurements lol

[Theland1]

42" chest, 38" waist, 30" inside leg. As you see, I suffer from "Pancake Syndrome," getting shorter and wider with each passing day. And I'm 13st 9lb. Shocking, but maybe there's a market for a body like mine, making people laugh perhaps?

I'd like to do it - I don't want to think that I'm going to be in my job for the next 11 years before I can retire!
Hi Theland, long time no see - I think male modelling is an excellent career move.

[Theland1]

Hi bensmum - I know you think I've got a great body, ever since we partied together in the R & S wine cellar. Cor!

[Bathsheba]

I took a big drop in pay because the hours suited me.
It was an extremely busy doctor's surgery, and the existing staff were just too busy to train me, so I was left to pick it up as I went along.As I was a good 15 yrs older than the others they just assumed I would know what to do due to my great age! It was horrendous, and the GP's attitude to the staff was appalling.
Sorry for the delay in replying- had to change browsers.
Hi Theland! - nice to see you! xx

Theland, as long as your chest is bigger than your belly, you will be OK (ish). Watch it doesn't creep over 40" though as you will increase your rick of diabetes and all manner of ailments.

I pushed my waiste up to 38 a few months ago and lost 4 inches in a fortnight. Easy peasy!!!!

Puddicat, have you considered teaching???

[puddicat]

so you still there and how to you feel funny enough put in for a job with saga hee hee, any abers work for them

[Theland1]

Hi Mrs Bath. Just telling these lovely folk about my plans as a model.
The new range of Ethel Austin knitted thongs could be the opening I've been looking for.

[puddicat]

ab dont think so my ability to grasp information is in a downhill spiral unless i realy really enjoy

[Theland1]

.... and I've just stopped smoking, so hoping I don't get the nibbles and put on the pounds.

[Theland1]

What job you in at the mo puddicat?

[Bathsheba]

[Theland1]
