![The Cheek of it.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5yDT3cTNJ6KzGvPwBkKHZpGY21_VwU9fAGzRwltF5lwQrb0ntJTWx9CYTX-DehXmVIYSmdtl1JjTprMHx7DPkkkwrTPHbgjA1bVVU45uq4YuRfhxZea3dqyDvIy21HA5m7_Dr/s200/lembit+n+cheekies.jpg)
I discovered this morning that she has her own blog (although she avoids the subject of Madeleine McCann in favour of writing about Punch & Judy). She's only had one comment on her latest post, but it's a corker. Oddly she hasn't replied to it.
![Brighton & Hove Debating Society](http://www.philgardner.net/files/brighton_hove_debating_society.gif)
It cost us a pound to get in, which the gentleman on the door assured me is the best value night out in Brighton, including as it does, a cup of coffee. I didn't tell him I only drink tea. The group were a curious mix. I'd say 90% of them were pensioners, but intriguingly the president of the society is a young chap much like myself (but without the fantastic moustache).
The proposal up for discussion was 'Age is a state of mind', and prompted a debate which covered everything from Mozart to Stirling Moss, via Joan Collins and Cher, taking in hip replacements, YouTube, and 'the biological cage'. I actually quite enjoyed it. In fact I very nearly got to my feet to make a fantastic point about the menopause, and playing squash with octogenarians, but just as I was on the verge of joining in, we ran out of time. The proposer won the debate by 23 votes to 6. Which would have been 4 if Lisa and I hadn't gone. I had no idea I held such minority views.
