Yeah proper old-school coding the above is just the 'header' section of a Cobol program, must be filled in otherwise it will not compile. My best achievement in Finnish schools was to program a version of Tetris in Cobol.

You start to care less about "stuff" and just want things that work... and work well.

Driving just becomes a chore rather than having any kind of enjoyment... also you find yourself chuntering ever more frequently about the "quality" of other drivers on the road!

Oh and pints costing more than a fiver down at the pub...
