I got excited about my new sofas last week and thought "bloody hell I'm not old enough for this!"

when you start telling, or at least thinking "that boy should grow up!"...

the bonuses of getting older though are you know when to stop drinking, you are no longer quite so bothered about sitting through a mind numbingly boring conversation with a woman just cos she's pretty...

but apart from that, it's rubbish...

oh and grey hairs in your goatee...

You know that you are getting older when you decide that a goatee is the way forward :)

I am much more relaxed than I was 55 years ago, but then again I am not soiling my nappies anymore either. (yet)

Hell... this feels waaaay too familiar :?

Let's see...

* It's Generally Harder to Do Even Half of What You Used To Do Without Breaking a Sweat...

* CRS Syndrome (Can't Remember Sh**) or, as my ex referred to it "Old Timers"

* You See an Old High School Chum and He Looks Like an Old Man...

"Sigh" :roll: it goes ad infinitum :lol:

Whenever you drive by a school you think its the pupils getting younger by the year.

Whenever you go of on a rant about younger kids coming into your local and making you feel old. Especially whenever males drink WKD or smirnof ice. Get a proper drink for god sake.

Watching your baby sister grow into a young lady the get annoyed whenever she roles her eyes at my speeches about young men after one thing.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

When you drive past a police station and the coppers look like they're still at school!

and talking of schools.... when you start mistaking the teachers for 6th form pupils

That's getting close to the truth these days.

I don'tknow if anyone heard the news last Friday on the radio (5Live) when a three year old escaped from nursery without the teachers noticing?

He'd walked halfway home which I recall was a walking distance over a mile, crossed three busy roads and was crying when a motorist stopped to help.

He was immediately thought by a group of passing females to be a child molester and the police were called. From the report it took some explaining before they believed his version of events.

It's a sad day when a good deed makes you guilty until proved innocent.

i often wonder is crime really on the increase, or are people just reporting it more? when we talk of chavs and gangs carrying knives...i cant help think of mods and rockers tearing up cinemas and carrying switchblades..

fighting on the beaches without a german paratrooper in sight...mass riots in brighton...

i dunno...here's one for the getting old list...

kids of today eh...
