Well - it's here as inevitably as the arrival of winter - 2010.. Just 1 month to go to be a fifty something. Googling the term 'fifty something' , I was horrified to learn that in Canada there is a magazine devoted to us and our ?issues?. My God.

Just before Christmas, my partner, who I have long understood to have a beautifully malicious sense of humor, showed me a book while we were stood in a book store. For a moment, I really thought that she had found a book especially for me. It was called "Sex after Fifty". WOW, now there's a good read. It may even have a few erotic pictures in it too! I thought. Well, this rather thick looking tome contained blank pages........ You can imagine how my face and my friend down there fell when I say that this was not just a spoof book but the joke was aimed at me. Apparently there is NO sex after 50. At least according to this book. If I ever find the author I swear I will string them up by their penis or nipples (depending on their sex) - or both!!!

So - I guess I now have to disprove this book. There is sex after 50. There has to be. PLEASE....

Here are some 'reviews' from folks who have bought this book..

"To avoid any confusion, you must understand this is a "joke" book. I didn't realize this when I bought it. It is perfect a gag gift for someone's fiftieth birthday party, along with those black balloons!"

"When reading the cover and back you really think you are getting something sexy to read. The back says all you need to know and revolutionary findings. Open it and it is blank pages. I laughed so hard. Great gift."

"This book is amazing. I recommend it as a gift for all your friends and family at their 50th birthday. Or if you've already missed that, buy it anyway. Even the slowest of readers will finish this book in record time."

By the way, this empty book sells for more than $10 - What a bloody con!
