So this is the grey room, huh? I'm not sure I belong. I used to be gray but now I'm starting to be white as Moses post burning bush era!

Why thank you good sir. I guess I am older than my years in terms of wiseness, whilst Jim, on the other foot, is beyond his years in age, rather than wiseness.  I mean, come on, who else would be go and visit Peter Rideout for the first time for a holiday?

I'm starting to plan the next prog curry night with the usual suspects (me, sigod, Blacksword, syzygy etc). It will be in London again somewhere but if anyone's interested in joining us for a beer or two and a meal, just drop me a PM with your email address and I'll keep you posted.
Grey Roomers welcome, but you have to give a 10 minute talk about your shed (that's the initiation ceremony).  |

hmmm...that's where I have the problem... I never have any spare beds at the weekend (as the hostel is booked out on an Exclusive Use Group Only scheme by our Head Office).... always Sunday to Thursday.... 
I do have a spare bed in my study, however....

Heck, I'm not even 30 yet... so I'd still be allowed in here!
Besides, what's wrong with two blokes sharing a bed for non-sexual means?

^^^ I'm sure both Alan and I are well beyond all that 'touchy feely slap on the back, dig in the ribs' cameraderie, thank you so kind....
besides, he would never put up with my snoring/ flatulance/ duvet stealing/ tossing & turning or talking in my sleep....
the reason why I have a double bed to myself, is that each night, it sees more action than Alton Towers on a bank holiday weekend, which I'm quite sure Alan wouldn't want to be a part of...  |

Hey, as per my question in the "Hey, I just found this website" thread, does turning 40 mean that I'm able to venture in this room as long as I don't fall and break a hip??!! Had no idea what the Grey Room was until today.

I'll join in you in shooting the sh** about non-food topics. My contribution to being "grey" - I have never sent a text message, ever. The last time I went to upgrade my phone, the 20 year old at the Verizon store was checking my account, and informed me in a completely appalled tone that I had no text messaging plan. When I told him I didn't need one as I don't use it, he looked at me like I was crazy. "You mean you actually use the cell phone as a....phone?"
