The Demographic Shift - 50

Good news about Rod Stewart and Penny Whatshername. A father again at 60. I couldn't help wondering what Rod's biological clock sounds like. Weird, I know, but I read last week that men do in fact have one and it starts ticking at the age of 25. Not that I'm worried or anything.

That's right, not only do we have one, but it starts ticking just after we get out of college. I mean come on how fair is that?

Not very, it doesn't really help if, like me, you spent a couple of extra years mucking around (OK sitting on my arse) and actually ended up with almost five years of higher education.

Rod was obviously aware of this, while I wasn't even slightly appraised of the fact. This is why Rod is on child number seven and I have yet to make it out of the starting gate. There's a gate right? OK, it might have something to do with the fact that Rod was a rock star in the 70s. I seem to remember my mother was a fan.
