Webbo Posted 26 March 2012 Posted 26 March 2012 You know you're old when, for your birthday, your kids buy you gift vouchers for Dignitas.
Foxhateram Posted 26 March 2012 Posted 26 March 2012 You know your old and on a PGCE course when you fall asleep at 10:30 in a bar with your mates before you have even started drinking. You know your old when you just cannot physicaly do an all nighter anymore! When you complain about the modern music and how sexual the music videos are because it is setting a bad example for children. I also have no idea what a drek is or even a Sket for that matter! I am 21 but feel much older inside. Plus I have found 10 grey hairs in the last month It's all going to be down hill from here! Coaching sports and teaching children has done this to me! The litte feckers!
NeilyBoy Posted 27 March 2012 Posted 27 March 2012 I'll know I'm old when the amber light no longer means speed up.
Daggers Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 You know you're old and intelligent when you listen to Radio 4 & 3 rather than the shit on 1 & 2.
The Doctor Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 You know you're old and intelligent when you listen to Radio 4 & 3 rather than the shit on 1 & 2. Intelligent - Radio 4? This is a station that plays the Archers, that's radio 1 standard crap (I do however like Radio 4's Friday night comedy)
Daggers Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 Intelligent - Radio 4? This is a station that plays the Archers Would you like to carry this on outside? Sunday mornings with eggy toast in bed, a cup of Lady Grey and The Archers is one of my favourite pleasures.
The Doctor Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 Not a fan of the Archers, it's all a bit crap. The eggy toast in bed and a cup of tea is good work though.

Daggers Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 Old And proud. And to wake at my age in that condition is a daily joy.
OzFox Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 You know you're old and intelligent when you listen to Radio 4 & 3 rather than the shit on 1 & 2. Shit. I thought I was getting old for liking Radio 2. But Radio 4, that's really serious stuff. How old are you exactly?
The Doctor Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 Shit. I thought I was getting old for liking Radio 2. But Radio 4, that's really serious stuff. How old are you exactly? He's as old as time itself.
OzFox Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 He's as old as time itself. Probably salutes the national anthem at midnight. And knows the exact location of Dogger, Finisterre and German Bight
Rincewind Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 You get some good plays and comedy shows on Radio 4. A few of the TV ones started there. Although I hardly ever listen to itJust never think about it and I never have the whats on guide with me. I once wrote to the Daily Mirror asking why they never put a Radio Guide in their weekend TV Mag. Got a reply to say there was not the demand for it. In other words it would take too much effort on their part. They said I should buy the Radio Times for the radio. I may have replied that if I bought that I would not need to buy the Daily Mirror. I think you get a listing in the 'quality' papers but don't like buying a weekly newspaper that'll take a fortnight to read.
Daggers Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 Probably salutes the national anthem at midnight. And knows the exact location of Dogger, Finisterre and German Bight a) No, not a hope in Hell. b) Absolutely, doesn't everyone? As do they all know that there is no Finisterre any longer, it's now Fitzroy.

Was just testing you out with Finisterre. Only serious devotees and fishermen would know that. Well done. Nice map by the way.

Reynard Bleu Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 I know I'm getting old, the only magazine I take to the bog is BBC Good Food.

Babylon Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 • Ear Hair. • Radio One makes you want to throw the radio out of the window. • Looking at a good looking woman and thinking it's actually quite possible for you to be older than her dad. • Looking at what the kids wear and thinking they have all gone insane. I mean, trousers that don't go past your ankles, with boating shoes and scooped neck t-shirts.... in the middle of bloody winter. • Talking about how little a pint cost when you first went in the pub. • Moaning • Enoying views and digging the garden.
Corky Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 • Looking at a good looking woman and thinking it's actually quite possible for you to be older than her dad. Aren't you about 27?
Rincewind Posted 28 March 2012 Posted 28 March 2012 When barstaff stop calling you son and call you grandad. Worse when barmaids stop calling you love.
OzFox Posted 29 March 2012 Posted 29 March 2012 The Three Toilet Magazine Stages of Man 1. Porno 2. Vehicle-related lit 3. Food/Gardening mags 4. Prostate problems. Just reading an article about men who get up 5 times a night with an urge to pee, then stand over the bowl for ages waiting for something to happen. I don't like the sound of it one bit.
OzFox Posted 27 May 2012 Posted 27 May 2012 I've noticed another worrying trend recently, to do with mother/daughter couples that you see in the street. In my youth, I'd get an occasional coy glance from the daughter. These days I'm more likely to get a lingering. slightly desperate look from the mother. The sort of look that says "Please get me out of my loveless marriage and pound me to within an inch of my life". Either that or it's "Take your eyes off my daughter you filthy, disgusting beast". Disconcerting either way.
