Could have been worse. Actually, I'm struggling to think, now. Timmy Mallett maybe?

My offspring are generally embarrassed by my musical taste, which is how it should be. And I can wind them up by saying things like "this has got a good beat" to any new stuff they have, and dad dancing in the kitchen.

No wonder they don't invite friends round.

When my daughter was at university about ten years ago she came home when we were listening to music. "Oh no", said she, "Now I know my parents are old....they're listening to the Rolling Stones".

Know exactly what you mean, I can clearly recall a similar instance when I hit forty and decided I was now old enough for radio 4, and back then I used to enjoy the shipping forecast which followed the catchy Radio 4 theme.. https://youtu.be/rF7kzj4lCnE. But don't worry a few years as a grown up soon convinces you that being an irresponsible youf is better and you'll soon return. Being young is easy, it gets easier with experience and when you've been young as long as I have it makes the passage into childlike senility almost seamless and I should know, I've been young longer than anyone else I know.

At club level given decent foils and rags and the best sailor most boats are pretty competitive.
