Any fans of Gideon Coe out there (10-12pm Mon-Thurs on 6Music)? He does a section on 'duffing' - basically about being an old duffer either before your time or just generally because you are, in fact, now officially classed as old by the yoof. The main thing is though that you're proud of it.

I mention this after following the bread-making thread, as it's prime duffing, as indeed are many of the themes on this site. Which is why I like it. I too have a breadmaker, and I'm not yet 40. If I were to shift it into my shed, and make my loaves in there while listening to the shipping forecast in my slippers, I would be well on the way to duffing nirvana.

Anyone else prepared to declare their solidarity with this most gentle of causes? The world needs more duffers, I feel, in these troubled times.
