retro gamers like playing on CRTs, i've learned. i sold a PS2 a couple of years ago, asked 20 quid for it, not realising that i probably could have asked close to €100. the guy who picked it up even offered me €40 for it, he couldn't believe his luck.

I once had two lightmeters (i.e for photography) - one a basic, old fashioned, but useful one with the discs on the front to work out.

the other a proper polaris studio meter.

when I put the latter up on adverts, I mixed up what I had paid for it with the cheaper one, meaning the eventual buyer got a serious bargain!

Further to last nights shenanigans mentioned elsewhere, A beautiful young woman asked me to dance last night. Not the woman who pinched my bum. It was open mic night and the singer was playing a local standard that I knew the words to.

I realise now that she was actually dancing with the safe old man, rather than actually having any interest in me. I felt super at the time. Now I feel like a joke.

Then I danced with a more age appropriate lady. She's lovely, but probably as desperate as I am. Her daughter was embarrassed. Her daughter is of drinking age. Fuck this.

Some women are into older men. I wouldn't write yourself off ... or write the more age-appropriate lady off either, my daughter is of drinking age and I still have the bigtime hots for her mother (aka Mrs. egg_)

I'm all good. The young one who danced was grand, her friends were confused. The older one used to feed me chips and Guinness when I was working-but-broke. Because that was £5 back then and she worked here. it's weird having her treating me as an equal, same age type person.

After a long day I scanned that as you having the hots for your daughter...

I've been working since 7, so it's more my eyes/brain than your post I think!
