When you watch youngsters at play, riding a mountain bike down a steep course, and you think "hmmm, looks dangerous that, not for me"

No, not even shrug or notice, just carry on regardless. The man's beer sharts are entirely self-inflicted, so no sympathy hehe

I made a 'who shot JR Ewing' joke not so long ago in front of a bunch of 18 year olds. My mates got it, they just stared at me like I was odd.

You know that stare. The cold, hard, 'you stupid old bd' stare that those young people do...

and also if you listen to Frank Sinatra.
and if you have a bit of a belly

Christ I do all of these things and im 18 yikes

No?

I just remember as a kid and the bathroom being a no-go area for a few hours once my Dad had been 'busy'.
Judging from the reactions of my kids it seems that I am now that person!

When you realise that you have turned into your Dad. I've started doing the same hand gestures that my Dad did. He's been dead nine years and I never did them when he was alive. It must be a genetic trait.

That advert annoys me because it's been crudely edited (to cut out a line that claims "because it doesn't ruin your apetite") and no longer scans properly. The very fact that this irks me makes me feel old.
Thank fk for that, I thought I was the only one.

PC bks

The old words used to go....

The red car and the blue car had a race.
All red wants to do is stuff his face.
He eats everything he sees from trucks to prickly trees.
But SMART (changed to good) old blue he took the milky way.

He's lookin for a tasty treat, thats fluffy and light.
Cos he know it won't spoil his appetite (now changed to something about tasting just right)

Oh no, the bridge is gone, Old red just can't carry on.

But smart (good) old blue he took the milky way.




Then at the end the sign said, "The sweet you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite", now it says "Lighten up and Play".

(All from memory) smile I know I'm sad.

I genuinely heard this at work when I was hosting a school day.

Me: "blahblah if you look out of the window you'll see the last ever flying Concorde, it landed on that runway there."
Kid puts his hand up.
Me: "yes?"
Kid: "What's a Concorde?"

And I'm only 21. frown

Go on then. Why were you taking to kids about Concorde?
Kudos to you for even getting them to ask what Concorde is BTW.

I knew I was old the other day when cycling home from work and thinking bicycle clips could be a good idea. I had to bleach the thought from my mind.
