The Demographic Shift: May 2004
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Saturday, May 22, 2004. The Demographic Shift - 21. I should have written about this before. It's such an obvious one and maybe more than anything else, it's about the different stages that people go through when growing up, including this shifting one, so it's time to talk about the truth about cars. Admittedly my road was a slightly bumpy one (I passed on my fourth attempt - which means I was a really, really, really good driver, ho...

The Demographic Shift: April 2004
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Wednesday, April 14, 2004. The Demographic Shift - 19. Like I said, I wasn't going to write about weddings for oh so many reasons, but then a number of things happened, which were all wedding related - in part two of 'When Weddings Go Shock! You're being very mellow dramatic about this, which is unlike you," I told her. Are you going to tell me what the problem is? Take a deep breath," she instructed me. That's weird, but at the same ...

The Demographic Shift: November 2003
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2003_11_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Friday, November 28, 2003. The Demographic Shift - 9. The world of compilation albums is a complicated one. Ever since I mentioned this topic as a sure sign that you were on the way out of the 18-34 demographic, it has sparked a storm of controversy existential in its nature. This is going to be a little confusing. I did this all the way until a friend even more anal than myself on these matters of album etiquette demanded that I imme...

The Demographic Shift: December 2003
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2003_12_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Wednesday, December 17, 2003. The Demographic Shift - 11. The demographic shift makes people do strange things. However, by and away the weirdest of these is moving to bizarre and desolate parts of the country. When Marcus called me one day, about a year-and-a-half ago, and told me of his moving plans, I have to admit I laughed ("we're moving to Stallingwalling! Telephone call number one:. Hi, when are you coming to visit us? Oh, I do...

The Demographic Shift: September 2003
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2003_09_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Monday, September 08, 2003. The Demographic Shift - 1. A couple of very significant things have happened recently. You probably missed them. Don't worry, this is totally understandable as these significant things only happened to me. The second, and certainly more earth-shattering, thing was that I am approaching the demographic rubicon and, well to be honest, I'm kind of concerned. That's right, I have turned 34 and have reached ...

The Demographic Shift: January 2004
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Wednesday, January 21, 2004. The Demographic Shift - 13. Part of the thing with getting older is that at some point, you find yourself coming into possession of something new and that something new is a distant past. I found Adam already seated, drinks on the table, when I turned up. "I see you've chosen our usual table, that's nice.". Don't you at all miss coming to places like this? When we looked up we recognised the person immedia...

The Demographic Shift: June 2004
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Thursday, June 24, 2004. The Demographic Shift - 24. Things have come full circle. I saw Lloyd Cole last week, which, without a doubt, is the last gig that I will ever see as a member of the 18- to 34-year-old demographic. Tellingly, Lloyd had a break halfway through his set so people could call their baby sitters. In 1985, we sat on the floor of the Hammersmith Palais (sadly now known as the Po Na Na and the home of School Disco)....

It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Wednesday, March 31, 2004. The Demographic Shift - 18. I wasn't going to write about weddings for oh so many reasons, but then a number of things happened that were all wedding related - in part one of 'When Weddings Go Shock! Not least among the things that have happened is news of a new book that suggests that British women are more desperate to find a husband before they are 35 than their American sisters. But still," I said. Mmmm,...

The Demographic Shift: October 2003
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Wednesday, October 29, 2003. The Demographic Shift - 5. Disaster has struck and it's all Susan's fault. She has inadvertently revealed the truth about the new girlfriend. I can't believe you told your mother you have a new girlfriend when you clearly don't. That is incredibly sad.". I'm under a lot of pressure to live up to certain images.". You're not a child prodigy, you're a 34-year-old single male.". Anyway, who is this girl?

The Demographic Shift: February 2004
http://demographicshift.blogspot.com/2004_02_01_archive.html
It's a novel not a blog about dating disasters and other catastrophes. Saturday, February 21, 2004. The Demographic Shift - 15. I've been looking for positive reasons for exiting the 18- to 34-year-old group (they're thin on the ground) and I've found another in giving up smoking. I'm going to miss it. I guess I was just lucky that I got very ill (the Christmas barfing incident) and that my giving up started sooner than I had expected. Starting on December 23, which, as a day perfectly acceptable and...
