Rod Stewart had it right:

Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house.

But that would not suit his ego of a 70 year old ageing rock star having a twenty something year old bimbo on the end of his arm (or another part of his anatomy)

You sound like you speak with experience in that department, Pace

If he fails his medical due to THAT REASON, she will not be hanging onto anything; she will be gone. Unless he has loads of money

How he gets it is irrelevant its what he can do with it once he has got it that counts They all cost even the old wrinklies!!!
So Eddie Irvines advice the best.

The difference between being a dirty old man with a twenty year old bimbo and and a successful person, be it Rod, Mick, Paul or Bernie E with a six foot stunner

All those listed above are so rich that they can divorce, lose the maximum possible UK court award to a divorcing woman (say £20M), and their assets drop by less than 10%

I only pull headcases
Not doing internet dating by any chance? It works, but is a pretty fertile ground for that sort.

Eddie Irvine hasn't the wit to come up with the "If it Flys, F*&Ks etc" saying. It was coined by Felix Dennis.

I don't know

I am still a romantic and sentimental old soul.

Still, find out my wife was pregnant with the first and celebrated by going flying. On the one hand I thought I should do something momentous given the life changing event. On the other, why NOT do some cross country nav?

Quite a poor attitude to women on this forum

Have you guys ever thought that maybe you are the problem? With attitudes like these no wonder you are attracting some odd women, you seem like a strange bunch, good luck

Maybe that's because the men who can afford to fly and can still pass their medicals are mostly divorced

I have a bad attitude to marriage (which seems utterly pointless, and seems to be most often driven by an insecure partner who really ought to sort out her (or his) issues first) and poorly chosen partners (who do so many men shack up with women who dislike the man's principal and pre-existing hobby), not to women. My GF is 100% lovely She likes flying too, though only in wx like this



and to places like this



where we can get stuff like this

I propsed to my soon to be wife while I was flying my Piper Archer along at 110kts at 1500 ft somewhere over Buntingford, enroute to Duxford. I didnt do the bendy knee thing until safely on the ground. I am glad I didnt need to ditch, I dont think I would have got a 2nd chance ;-) My fiancee is also a PPL, so it was a good way to pop the question.
