Every word of this...

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

Clint Eastwood said something about getting old that stopped me cold.
Aging is not gentle. You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move.
The body that carried you through everything – the wars, the work, the wildness of youth – begins to ask for more than you can give it.
Joints that never complained now speak in the mornings. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses. But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call. The people who knew you when you were young – who remember the same summers, the same streets, the same faces – are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry, have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the story anyway. To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps, the truth deserves.
With a touch of pride you’ve earned and a grief you don’t always name. You know the person across from you wasn’t there. You know they can’t quite feel it this the way you do. But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered. And if no one asked for them – you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body. It is memories looking for a place to rest. And what an old person needs – more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel – is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen. Not to fix anything. Just to be there. That is the whole gift. And it cost nothing. Wild whispers.

@LeoKearse We'll soon be told that the man on the ground was in fact deliberately headbutting the ceremonial knife the victim was holding, whilst shouting racist abuse. The guy with the hurling stick will be arrested.

@Artemisfornow Absolutely, 100%

@SlenderSherbet What happened to the 'pale rider' tweet?

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@DreyfusJames Clearly traumatised...

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@LeoKearse Did you notice that his father also used the word "inclusive" when describing him, almost as though he had been handed some sort of basic template.

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@omid9 Jesus H... there's scum, and then there's SCUM.

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@DreyfusJames It's the 70's for me.

@keirwrong Looking to audition for the role of Don in a remake of Sexy Beast? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@DreyfusJames While we were aware of what happened, actually witnessing it, hearing it, seeing the faces of his callous killer and brother... has left me feeling empty, totally empty.

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@JoeMeekSociety Heartbreaking.

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@LozzaFox @HantsPolice Absolutely fucking disgusting, that poor, poor boy. These scum need to be named, shamed and brought to justice. Heartbreaking.

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@JoeMeekSociety It's her!!!!! Just seen the bodycam footage of poor Henry Nowak's murder... this offers some much needed relief. Happier, innocent times

[Pitpass Chris @pitpasschris]

@JoeMeekSociety Alistair Sim in the first St Trinian's film... it was the fox stole they have in common.

@DreyfusJames Hope the big bird doesn't have to deal with anything too high, more suited to burning bungalows than towering infernos.
