The views of a fifty year old GOG (Grumpy Old Git) who grew up in a North East coastal town, and never quite made it, now finds he doesn't quite fit in anywhere; Young people annoy him as they have energy, good looks & a far better time of it than he ever had, whilst old people frustrate him because they refuse to embrace new technology. He nevertheless refuses to accept technology newer than 1999 on the grounds that he can't be bothered to read the manuals.
