This should be in the lounge.

I said that in my original post; Are you turning into me?

Keeping screws and nails and offcuts

This! My dad used to always have bit and bobs and I now know why. When you need some random washer, if you keep looking in the tin long enough one will appear.

A bit, but not sadly not the good bits. Also my mum, hardly surprising.

[Mr Scruff]

I hope so, my dad is a legend Fully together at 74 years old, we’ve just booked our motor biking tour of the highlands for later in the year.

Could do a lot worse

This thread would not be complete without a dad joke.

Q. Why did the iPad go to the dentist?








































A. Because it had Bluetooth!

[Blakeatron]

Not trusting the car door locks and have to check the handle even though you pressed the button and heard it lock?

Also check the house door is locked, even if i have just locked it.

Turning the heating down, moaning about door being open and lights left on.

Going bald, wearing glasses, working too much and hardly seeing the kids.

I think i am already him

[Glasgowrob]

Yes

Both me and my dad 39 and 64 respectively are currently trawling autotrader swapping links to fast
BMWs

He’s looking at 335ds I’m eyeing up a 435d

Fantastic having an old man who’s a petrolhead

My jokes are

[gruffgriff]

I'm there, but still me...I think...used to be startling but now not so surprised that my mature nasal passages make our sneezes and coughs sound identical....lockdown hair has locals calling me by his name....I'm told I stoop over my breakfast concoctions at the kitchen worktop in the same manner...I envy those of you who still have dads with you. Enjoy. Fully.

Playing football every Saturday in winter? No
Playing cricket every Saturday in summer? No
Pub every night after work? No

Successful business earning sh*tloads of cash? Definitely not!

Nope, haven't got anywhere near him yet!

I have just bought a BMW and given my 33 year old son my 318k mile diesel Mercedes E Class and he loves it. He has just sold his BMW now he has the Mercedes.

That says to me that I am turning into my son

Unless the B!W you bought is the one he sold, in which case he's turning into you as well.

This, I used to wonder why dad kept jars of nails and screws and left over assembly kit parts, skip forward 40 years and I realize i've been doing it for a while now.
My youngest son says it makes sense as it can save a wasted hour looking for odd parts in a diy store.
The moment you find the elusive part (or more likely the part that will do the job) always brings a smile.
I tell my son that when I die it is all his to do with as he pleases.

This so many times over. My dad died at 80 years old a few years ago and I inherited “grandads” stuff. It’s absolute heaven I’ve got little pots of nuts and bolts everywhere, in the office I have a little set of drawers full of paper clips, rubber bands etc etc. In the garage I have his tools, his collections of useful stuff etc. it’s brilliant I think of him every time I open a drawer and find something useful. It keeps him with me.

[Macneil]

I often tell my youngest so that I've been sent from the future to save him...

[SCEtoAUX]

Nope. My Dad liked people.
