Really?

Planet - you must put them on the end of the current list. We are compiling a Definitive Guide to the Pointlessness.

Get to it. Pore ol Vermicious is busy with the bedding plants.

You're all missing the point. Without middle aged women, you wouldn't have little old ladies, complaining about their corns, and criticising the youth of today, and taking up room in buses, and blocking the pavement with their zimmer frames....

Oh ok then, where do I go to be eliminated?

What a list! All that stuff we won't need. It's so environmentally friendly as well as more aesthetically pleasing without the middle-aged.
