Press Release Summary = Gavin Allinson has come up with a new Sociological term in that long list that the Market Researchers like to use to label groups of people and the lives they are living, we have had the Baby Boomers, the DINKY\'s Double income no kids yet that typified the Yuppies of the 80\'s, We \'ve had Generation X\'rs, Now we have those that are \'Living la Vida Horlicks\'. Gavin Allinson is a Total Success Coach, he has resolved to stop living the Vida Horlicks and to help the millions of other poor souls out there from a life time warm malted evening drinks.
Press Release Body = I had been lying on the sofa and watching Match of the Day, a pretty standard Saturday night. But what transpired over the next few hours shocked me and I think will change my life forever. I heard a key being opened in the front door, I looked up and there was News 24 blaring. I looked at the time, it was 2.38 am. I mumbled something to my stepdaughter Niamh, returning from her first date. I rolled over and went straight back to sleep.
This time it was my partner Lorna, Are you coming to bed or what? Experience told me there could only one be one answer to that question. Yes my Love I automatically replied I stumbled up the stairs something started happening in my mind, it was one of those moments of inspiration, I went into the bedroom and I stood there and said to Lorna, what's happening darling, Niamh\'s out there living the \'Vida Loca\' and here we it\'s quarter to 3 and we are living the \'Vida Horlicks\'.
How had it happened, how had I allowed myself to slip into this dire situation. When I looked back with hindsight it was easy to spot the tell tale signs I\'ll share some recent examples that might have characterised living 'la Vida Horlicks' for me.
I can remember standing at the kettle jiggling a tea bag and thinking how come I can never make a good cup of tea with this mug, I strode out of the kitchen and said to Lorna have you noticed....., 10 minutes later we had finished discussing the merits of all our mugs.
I can remember chuckling to myself for days about a scene in Eastenders where 2 of the 60+ year old characters were getting fruity, Pat Evans said to Patrick her Jamaican lover, 'its a shame you cant come round tonight Patrick, its not the same eating pineapple rings and whipped cream by yourself. I was somewhat ashamed to say that I even imagined what they would be doing with the pineapple rings and even rummaged round on my hands and knees searching for a tin to see if I could recreate the scene.
Lorna and I have also been debating over the past 4 weeks the respective merits of Strictly Come Dancing with Bruce Forsyth and Dancing on Ice with Philip Schofield. How can Strictly Come Dancing be better? We asked ourselves, We had just cringed as we watched David Seamen the former England Goalie lift his partner 6 foot up in the air and drop her. Never was Strictly Come Dancing (SCD) so dramatic, ok Darren Gough\'s partner Lilia\'s dress came undone but compared to Seamen's howler. No Contest... We\'d cracked it, we couldn\'t have been happier if it was the Davinci Code, we had it, we knew the secret. It had to be Brucie; he had to be the difference.
