I reckon its down to you trying to keep up with the locals when you're going around all those Madrid bars for the latest gossip, not to mention the odd tapas and vino or three.
I mean there must be a hell of a lot of bars in Madrid.
Having said that I believe that Valencia holds the record for the percentage of bars in relation to population for the whole of Europe, as well as being proud of its claim to fame as the noisiest city of course.

I think I've realised why I prefer winter in Spain to their summer. I can shut the window at night and avoid being woken by the botellon or the garbage vans.

Ha,ha.
The fact that you need to resort to a jibe like that tells its own story methinks.

No Dick, what you say, and the way you say it tells the story far better. If the jibe hadn't cut so deep you'd have ignored it.

You are not out of order whingeing about your health at all. Hope that the problem that you have is only temporary and that you manage to sort it out and return to full (or almost full) health.

well once you admit you are getting older you have to admit how old they will be.
its when you look at the production date on films and realise you saw it when it first came out and its 25 years ago

in simplistic terms, if Frazier was say 30 then 40years on he has to be at least 70. Good innings, but as you say, a part of our own lifetimes now gone for ever.
BBC R4 even interviewed Joe Bugner -

Does anyone remember the Monty Python sketch that went something like, "I'm looking for an argument, have I come to the right place?". I frequently feel like I've strayed into it when reading some of the threads on here.

The fact that I remember it makes me feel ancient, anyway.
