Why Gareth Southgate is the ultimate midlife crush
Do all peri-menopausal women have a thing for the reassuring England manager?
The dashing Gareth Southgate
Some crushes rewrite all the rules of sex appeal. For 30 years, I said I’d rather eat slugs than kiss a man in a waistcoat. But now, like a lightning bolt on a summer’s day, I’ve had an erotic epiphany: there’s something blazingly magnetic about a furrow-browed bloke who’s not afraid to don a charcoal-grey, buttoned jerkin (I should maybe mention that knitted, polka-dot tie too).
I am, of course, talking about Gareth Southgate. Nor am I alone in this eureka moment. Across the land, peri-menopausal women are gushing about Gareth and indulging in harmless fantasies where the England manager displays everyday prowess and decency – rescuing their cats from trees, driving a tow-truck to their stricken car, or delivering their baby in a taxi.

It would be fair to say there has been a lot of quizzing in the past twelve months.

Many of us spent a good deal of the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 on Zoom (or similar) asking and answering questions with friends and loved ones to give a bit of direction and format to our online meetings. Now for some, that means that they’re probably all quizzed out right now – but for others, a year of quizzing has got them hooked!
With lockdowns easing across the country and more opportunities to go out, it won’t be long before there’s actual real pub quizzes again if that’s your thing – but for others, a good quiz at home is what they’re looking for to entertain the family or just to keep themselves amused while surfing the web.
