					<description><![CDATA[Why all the fuss, people?  Can a person working in a laboratory, or in a director&#039;s office or a factory person, or in a law court or even in parliament, participate in a clean friendly way, with some friends of their own choice, irrespective of colour, religion, political or other believe, in a party at Giampula, which place (I am informed) was open to the general public in general??  What is wrong with this?

[&lt;strong&gt;Daphne - People pushing 50 who party at Gianpula in a non-ironic way are asking for all the mockery coming their way. And if they don&#039;t know what I mean, because they&#039;re oblivious, they could ask their children, in their 20s, what they think. I don&#039;t need to ask mine, because I am in no way inclined to do the same. I spent much of my time at Gianpula at the appropriate age (17 to 20s) and now wild horses wouldn&#039;t drag me there unless it was for a wedding or something similarly suitable. The trouble, I think, is that those people didn&#039;t go there at 18 and so they feel they have to go there at 48 not to have missed out. But I can still remember the tragic middle-aged people who used to hang around at Saddles, Club 47 and Gianpula (we used to call them &#039;the parents&#039; because they were, obviously, the same age as ours) and there is no way on earth that I want to be the present-day equivalent. If the people in that photograph knew what they looked like to the age group they are trying to emulate, they would run away and hide.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Come on! We did this subject of decorum and the public eye with the Magistrate.

Imagine if this came out in any other EU state (barring Italy) - there would be resignations demanded by the press. It&#039;s about acting your age and respecting your public profile, nothing else.

If you want to act 17, don&#039;t be visible in the mainstream press.]]></description>
