UK Middle Aged Men? (and women)

Gentlemen,

I've been using MFP with some considerable success for 2 months. I've also made some very supportive friends on here - thank you to them. However, I'd really like some bloke company too. Specifically, it'd be good to have some middle aged male mates. Guys who can remember being into serious music, while pretending to like Duran Duran to impress the girls they fancied. Men who rode a Yammy FS1E or Suzuki AP50 to school at 16 because they were so desperate not to ride their push bike any more. Men who grew up admiring true male sporting role models: Will Carling; Saint Billy Beaumont; Andy Ripley; Daley Thompon; Brian Jacks, the judo bloke off Super Stars ... and Fatima Whitbread. Blokes whose first drink in a pub at 14 was a Double Diamond, bought by their mum because she didn't know what it was. Men who only love the outdoors because it reminds us of 1976! Men ... who are probably at work right now (have I mistimed this post?) MEN OF BRITAIN, Do I hear you?

So yeah fellas, if you want to chat about your weight loss and fitness in a completely non-girly and blokey type way, I'm yer man. Friend me on up, as they say. Not too late, or I'll be in bed with a cocoa ...

Cheers,
Chris
Somerset, UK
