No shows and ‘wrinkly’ sex
[Posted June 2nd, 2009]One of the things that is endemic in the consultancy 1-2-1 side of my business is the ‘no-shows’. You book a meeting and the client doesn’t turn up and their mobile is suddenly on permanent voicemail. Or, even more annoyingly the mobile number they gave you is ‘not recognised’. Over the years we have had some classics. There is a guy who phones me about once every 18 months and it is always the same story - he and his wife are looking for a threesome/foursome etc and wish to meet me to discuss options. The first time around i actually sat like an idiot at a hotel bar for 45 minutes before I realised it was a ‘no-show’ now I just let him tell me all his rubbish and ask for a number to call him back on to confirm. The number never works. THen 25 mins later he calls me agin thinking we are another company and the whole nonsense continues. This week I had another beauty. A woman with impeccable diction phoned to book a meeting, she was a bit flaky and nervous so I took her mobile number. She was a no-show (an hour wasted) but she was kind enough to send me a text telling me she was sorry but she just decided to ahve her appendix out that very morning!!! She did however think she would be up and running in 48 hours. Wow! Surgery has certaiinly improved since I had my appendix out - I was out of action for weeks.
Later today I am booked to talk on BBC radio Northants on the subject of elderly 50+ sex - ‘wrinkly sex’ ‘grey sex’ whatever you wish to call it. It is something I indulge in personally at regular intervals and something hundreds/thousands of LL users enjoy too. They are doing a discussion programme because so many ‘elderly’ ladies are getting STI’s from nookie that it is presenting a previously unknown medical phenomenon. Very often women say to me that they never enjoyed sex until they found us and started taking lovers once their nest were empty. I think that for the baby boomers we are all happily enjoying sex until we receive a government letter instructing us to stop! I can’t imagine my old mum having sex at 60 but the world has changed and for older ladies and gents it has changed for the better.

David,
Your blog submission today was priceless- hilarious and sympathy inducing at the same time! I am astonished that people can behave like that re. missing appointments.. understandable for a boring corporate get together but not if nookie is going to eventually be on offer!
Keep the stories coming. All the best ,
